Anniversary Card!

Hearts are always in season for the loved ones! I made this card using Market Street Stamps background stamps. I love them :-) I cut the heart on pazzles. This is the first time I cut vellum on pazzles and it wasn't that tough. Just played with the pressure and got it right. I first stamped bit of burlap with black ink on the heart. Then layered the hearts stamp on top of it. I heat embossed it with gold. It was my first time heat embossing and it was so much fun! Loved it. I got myself a ranger heat it tool. I love how it turned out. I red,black and gold together. More so..Sid loved it:-)

Watercolor Technique

I used Water Color Pencils and colored the background.I let it dry a bit,then inked up my stamps with brown ink and stamped on the watercolor background. Added some twine, stamped the message and done! Know any more techniques with water color pencils, post a link here! I would love to try them out! I made these for ifitsgroovy blog!

Canvas Collage!

So I have been thinking of getting some Mod Podge for a long time. I finally got the matte mod podge last weekend. I have always liked quilting pattern and I am obsessed with birds right now! :-)
The size of the canvas is 14X14. I cut 2 by 6 inch strips of paper. I used sunshine lollipop collection(Wee Bundle) by Sassafras Lass. I love this collection! Beautiful colors and patterns. I painted the canvas edge using some acrylic paints. I did some random brush strokes trying to capture some of the colors from the collection. I mod podged the paper onto the canvas, arranging the paper so it's pleasing to the eye.
I cut out the birds sitting on branches using pazzles on brown cardstock. Mod Podged that onto canvas and gave three coats of Mod Podge to finish it. I love the result! I think it will make a nice gift. It was quick and simple to make. I love how the mod podge looks like brush strokes once dry. Well, I hope you like it!

Cards Galore!

I spent about 3 hours today making some cards. I am running late on November Birthdays. I made 10 cards to cover both November and December. I love dry embossing and inking! Very simple cards..I used cuttlebug embossing folders in the big shot, inked them and added AC premium solid ribbons to finish them! I love the white one on the pink-purple background. It is simple and elegant. I had a lot of fun!

"Love"

I used Echo Park's Black PP with White dots for this layout. I tinted it using Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Ink. I wanted to give it a oldish look. I tinted the picture too. The title was cut on pazzles inspiration. I used glossy accent on it to make it pop! The frame was cut on pazzles as well. I used I rock to set the gems. It was first time using the I Rock tool and it was fun!


I love this picture:-)Anurag was maybe about 2 months when we took this picture...The poem is by Edgar Guest. It is a beautiful one!

I hope you like this one! This is based on a sketch by Savvy Sketches.

My little Rockstar!

I am going crazy with EP Dots & Stripes paper! Love it! Love how the twine goes with it.I cut out the stars on pazzles inspiration. I cut out my title word "Rockstar" on pazzles as well and then used my White Uniball pen to outline it. I used the pen on some of the stars too. This layout is also based on Allison Davis Sletch. I love her books!


Anurag at six months old was an expert at blowing raspberry kisses, was extremely ticklish and loved playing peek-a-boo! He loved it when we read books to him. I still have a lot of pictures to catch up on.

What I love about you...

I used PP from Echo Park Metropolitan Dots and Stripes collection on this layout. I asked Sid to journal and he wrote a beautiful poem. Anurag was six months old when these pictures were taken. He was so adorable! I just watched all his videos from that month.So cute! I am loving the EP paper! I love the bright and happy colors :-)I cut out the hearts on pazzles inspiration. The twine from the Twinery goes very well with this collection. Its almost like it was made for this one!The layout is based on a sketch by Allison Davis.
Hope you like my layout!

Silly Smile using Dots n Stripes!

I really wanted to participate in the Echo Park Dots n Stripes Contest. So off I sent my hubs to pick up the metropolitan collection at Archivers since I was feeling a bit under the weather! He is very sweet and did it with no cribs:)He even picked up the Splash collection as a bonus:) I thought the cut off was today (just saw the reply on facebook on EP Wall) and have been working on this layout the last couple of hours. I hope it looks good....My brain is not at its best! But there is only a little chance you can go wrong with EP paper, cause "everything goes with everything" ,my favorite phrase(see this is how you can justify buying things ;) )! They just make it easy:).You can even mix collections easily. So here goes.....
