<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I LOVE the pastel color palette of challenge #35. It was great to work with! I used watercolors and SC speech bubbles mask to create the background. So much fun! Instead of using regular cardstock, I chose to use watercolor paper as a base. I wasn't sure if the regular cardstock will be able to take the watercolor well without pilling. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am still in love with the Amy Tan sketchbook collection. Love the papers from that collection! So happy and bright! But it was taking away from my pics, so I added a layer of vellum in between. Machine sewed with a silver thread. Still loving metallics! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heidi Swapp color shine are lovely but I almost wish I had not misted! I used the Tinsel mist. Made such a hot mess:/ . Didn't like how dark it was, wanted a more subdued pastel look. I sprayed on top of it with some Mister Huey White. Covered the big splotches with Gesso. Oh! And something I learnt while journaling on this layout! Never journal on the Gesso with your precision pens or other good pens! It eats up and dries the ink in a few seconds. My pen is dry and doesn't write anymore :/ I used sharpie to journal where I had used Gesso after that. It was still not writing smoothly but atleast it didn't dry up and die like the other ones!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hand-sewed to keep the thickers down and to just give it a unique look. I picked a bunch of embroidery thread from Michaels. They have some pretty cool metallic ones! I am happy with the overall look of this layout. </span></div>

The color palette is as below. To add a twist to it, we had a sketch to go with it! I really struggled with the sketch, but ended up making it my own. I took bits of what I liked and worked with it. I kind of see the speech bubbles as the banner. I know, it is a stretch!!:-)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got the awesome opportunity to be a guest designer on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WeRMemoryKeepers">We R Memory Keeper's</a> Facebook page! They sent me papers and embellishments from their beautiful new '</span><a href="http://www.weronthenet.com/Simply_Spring" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simply Spring</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">' collection. I scrapped some of the Easter pictures from last year using those papers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut the title on my cameo, placed the green pattern paper title on the bottom and layered the stripe paper on top (just a little off) and sewed it down on the yellow background paper. Initially, I was going to journal directly on the Sweet Notes card but chose to instead print the journaling on a vellum sheet and just stapled it on the sweet notes journaling card. I like the softness and the dimension the vellum sheet adds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After adding the banners, the circle spot, title and all the layers, I wanted to add something extra to it. So, made two polaroid frames on the cameo, smile and a heart and used the soft pink paper with the wire pattern. Sewing straight is so difficult!! I still don't know how to control speed properly. If I go to slow, my thread breaks or bundles up, If I go too fast ,it is not straight! Practice, Practice! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the first time I have used neutrals by themselves on a layout! I think I achieved the look that I wanted. I used Ali Edward's 'love this memory' stamp on the background paper and used a fiskars polka dot circle border stamp around it. Alternated between moss green, brown and light brown.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added the shell and the heart stones I found at Cape Cod as accents on the layout. It is bulky but I really wanted to use them! It is a very simple layout. Just a few layers and some embellishments. I love Heidi Swapp's color magic alphas! I used memento ink on that and wiped it off with a tissue to reveal the white dots. Added a bit of journaling and an arrow stamp and a arrow from freckled fawn. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anurag's(my 3.5 yr old) school is reopening tomorrow after spring break. He has been so difficult the whole of last week and this week. We have started doing bite and spit at home now. He is revolting big time and his whole behavior is changing. Just becoming very rebellious about small things. I feel bad for him. It is so tough for him. Anurag got a time-out today after months! But I had to give him a time-out so it doesn't become a pattern. H</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">e is never like this. He always listens.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I hope I can do some positive reinforcement on the weekend. He prefers his individual feeding sessions more than the group feeding therapy session. The group sessions are very tough and a lot of pressure. It has been super stressful! I feel bad for him too. Our whole day off-late</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> has been about food. Writing this here, is like a note to look back at when things are better to remember where we were. Every small positive change is a huge thing! It is:) He had his first cookie last week and that is a huge deal!! It took him a long time to eat one cookie but he ate it:) I am so proud of him for that! There are positives I need to focus on, especially on bad days!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anurag loves to hold onto our legs as we are walking and tell us ' I am never going to let you go'. I always tell him I hope you never will! I just love it when he says that. It is the cutest thing ever! I got some photos of him holding onto Sid and saying it. I had to scrap them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have gotten really comfortable with layering. I have been hoarding the golden dots vellum paper for so long! I think I have like 4 full sheets:) I love gold! My sewing machine was acting up big time when I was trying to stitch. The thread was breaking and making a big mess under the needle. I cleaned the machine a bit and changed the needle and then tried. It worked like a charm. It was kind of a pain because I was working on this layout in the last minute! I got some tips on how to fix the sewing issues from Lisa Wilkinson. She sews a lot on her layouts and was super sweet and gave me some great advice!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used my cameo to do the title and layered a golden glitter paper under it. I hand cut some triangles and alternated the pattern paper and sewed it together to make a banner above it. I also added some ribbon and sewed it down. Sometimes, I really don't sew things directly down on the layout but just sew on top of the layer and just adhere it to the layout with glue. It is easier at times to do it this way. Saves me from sewing on multiple layers and getting it messed up!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I love sunshine! OK well, I guess on paper :-) and when the temperature's in the 70's and it is Sunny! I totally despise the summers in Houston! It gets crazy hot and stays that way for a good six months! Last year, for my birthday we went to Cape Cod! It was an awesome vacation, stayed at a beach cottage for a week and then to Rhode Island to spend time with family. It was stressful with Anurag's feeding issues but he had fun and that's what matters :-) We spent some quality time with each other and did fun stuff! I have been planning to do a vacation album for it ever since. It is on my to-do list! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I saw this color combo at Color Me Scrappy, I knew the photos I was going to use immediately. It had to be bright and fun! I used SC Sunburst mask to do the sunrays. I water-colored instead of misting to give it a washed look. Don't know if I succeeded! But I like it! Added some washi under the photos to pop them up a bit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a mix of thickers for the title. My favorites are the aqua chalkboard thicker and Heidi's Color Magic alphas. I love the las vegas look of Heidi's alphas! I had fun getting out my watercolors and using different thickers. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anurag loves going out and jumping in the puddles in his galoshes every time it rains! We wait for the rain to stop and go hunting for puddles. :-) It has become one of our favorite activities! I got some awesome photos the last time we were out puddle hopping and have been meaning to scrap them ever since.</span></div>

Color Me Scrappy #34<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe it is March already! Time is flying by this year! We have pretty good weather right now! Not too hot, breezy most days. I am totally not looking forward for the summer to start. We are trying to be outdoors as much as possible. We went camping this weekend. Even though it was just for one night, it was great fun. Anurag loved every bit of it. We hiked a little. Anurag threw stones and sticks in the Brazos river. It was fun to sleep in the tent in our sleeping bags. He got a kick out of it! Now if only, we could get the fire to start! Well, we will be going back more prepared next time:-) We didn't have the starter fluid and it was super windy. Considering this was his first camping trip, it went pretty well. He refused to eat and drink which is a bummer because we can't go anywhere for more than 2 days in that case. Hopefully, the group feeding therapy will help. We do have a long way to go. One step at a time :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, I have been scrapping but just not blogging. Something which NEEDS to change!! I plan to blog everyday for the next couple of days and get all those layouts which I have been working on uploaded!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The color palette for challenge #34 at CMS is Pinks and Greens. I am not very comfortable with pink! My most favorite subject to scrap is my little boy! So, I tend to stay away from that color. It pushed me to scrap a picture of myself! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, I bought all of the Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists from Michaels! I love all the colors!! They have a shine to them which I absolutely love. Somehow I never liked Tattered Angels mists but this shine, I am in love! I have had the gold for sometime now but I got the other 11 colors. I love the splatter look. I know a little late to the party, but hey I got there:-) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the Amy Tan Yes Please Stitching template to handstitch the flower and the leaf. It was super easy to do. I love the template! Just make holes with the needle which comes with the template and place the piercing mat under the paper and make your design. Backstitch with the desired color of thread. I hope she comes out with more designs in the future. I didn't get the alphabet template. Might just get it. I added a few sequins to give the splatters a little pop. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy New Year Everyone! I am so behind on uploading projects to my blog! The last few weeks have been so busy and I am still lazying around after the holidays :) I hope you are all having a good January!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The color palette this time was a set of warm colors. Cinnamon and Saffron shades! This is what I came up with the colors! I did a ton of sewing and finally used enamel dots from my stash!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to add a lot of journaling on this layout. I decided to use one of the cut files from Silhouette Store for the journaling and tucket it behind the photo with an arrow pull tab! Lots of times, I stitch on single layers and then attach them with pop dots to create layers. It helps keep my thread from getting tangled and I still get the same look!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also made a banner to add under the pic. I added a layer of vellum on the banner to soften the chevron banner. It was very distracting and it was taking away from the photo. I wanted to keep the focus on the photo.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Project Life has become a part of our lives. We all love it in my family. I hope to keep up with it next year as well. For this particular week, I chose to use stamps. I love Market Street Stamps. If you don't know who they are, you should definitely check them out! I am a big fan of their background stamps! They ink and stamp fabulously.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went for the FAAN walk on September 8th. Anurag has multiple food allergies. The walk was to create awareness and raise funds for research. I hope he gets over some of his food allergies as he grows up. Life is tough with them, more for him than us. Food allergies can be life threatening, his is. He also misses out on a lot of stuff other kids can do or places where he can go just because there is a high risk of coming in contact with allergens. We are trying to educate him so he can be careful but he is just 3. So, for right now he knows he has food allergies and not to share food. Majority of the pics from this week are from the walk and there are few other everyday pics.</span></div>

They haven't met in 2 years but still know a lot about each other:) I am so glad for technology! My parents finally got an ipad and now we can all facetime! Yay! I saw them after a little more than two years. So happy:) I love the little wood veneer bubble by SC. Did you see freckled fawn came out with some recently? They are on my wishlist! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have mixed and matched different<a href="http://marketstreetstamps.com/"> MSS</a> sets for this weeks layout. Any guesses which ones? I am not going to list them. Let me see if anyone can guess ;-) I haven't use any patterned paper. I started with cardstock and just went stamp happy! I am linking this to the block party challenge over at <a href="http://marketstreetstamps.blogspot.com/">Market Street Stamps</a>! I am hoping to be back with some more PL pages this week. Have a good week. Thanks for dropping by!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went to Dewberry Farm in October. Every year they have a pumpkin patch and a ton of activities for kids. This was our second year. I remember last year was fun. Anurag ran around the pumpkin patch, pushed the wheel barrow and played drums on the pumpkins. It was a fun and exhausting day! This year was no different! We had tons of fun. Anurag was open to trying out more things than last year. This was Anurag at Dewberry last year. He so loved it!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I scrapped the pictures of the farm from this year using the color palette and sketch at CMS #20. This is what I came up with!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really missed sewing on this layout. We are sleep training A and it took forever for him to sleep. There was no way I was making any noise with the Sewing machine or the Cameo. I compensated my thirst for sewing with hand-stitching a string of sequins. If you don't have a sewing machine or are not comfortable using it, an alternate is to hand-stitch on the layouts. I liked the way it turned out. Sequins are a good way to add a splash of color and since I didn't have any purple paper, these sequins did the trick.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been gloomy since morning and I couldn't get a good picture. I kind of tweaked it with picasa to get it closer to the true colors. Need to get studio lighting ;-)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't you think that little OA pin with the arrow pointing to over the top is so so cute! I am also loving these wax seals by BG! I have never seen those before! This was a quick and simple layout. Working with a sketch always makes it faster. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi Everyone! I am guest blogging at Kristin's Blog, <a href="http://rukristin.blogspot.com/">rukristin papercrafts</a> today! She has lots of fun tutorials, ideas and crafty projects on her blog! So spend sometime and check them all out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally started working on my PL. I am all caught up uptil October 8th. I need to go through and print photos after that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a sneak peek of my PL page!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most challenging part of PL is keeping up with it after vacations and other family needs. But, I simply find it hard to make it simple. I have to embellish and add doo-dads which takes more time. For me that is the fun part of PL. Just diving into your stash. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi! I am back again with a layout! I am so happy with the way this one turned out! I am so glad I made the jump and bought the Cameo. I can't say enough good things about it. It cuts like butter. With the change in format of challenges over at CMS, we now have four color palette's each month. Each challenge run's for 2 weeks, so there is a overlap but enough time. Every palette has a added twist to it, a sketch/word/technique. It is super fun, I haven't had a problem with it yet. I think it just makes it more interesting. So this is what I came up with this week's challenge! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo4l4hdfodeA2Qa1zgsmhWDBXOUqI92aG-StcUNDiCUZxpcwS9WVGhnpObTVW9SjKDGRfpC68ppmVeOYDZsasP8iRqzTLM4W7JMdXau-JGcW40doVQRt9ZDSij2HAwtpuAGNrM8VCxKw/s1600/IMG_1409.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo4l4hdfodeA2Qa1zgsmhWDBXOUqI92aG-StcUNDiCUZxpcwS9WVGhnpObTVW9SjKDGRfpC68ppmVeOYDZsasP8iRqzTLM4W7JMdXau-JGcW40doVQRt9ZDSij2HAwtpuAGNrM8VCxKw/s400/IMG_1409.JPG" width="396" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just had to scrap this pic. Anurag and myself, we were making funny faces and just clicking pics on the phone for fun. I spent three hours with him at the park and he wanted to stay longer!! Sid joined us after work. Played some more with him. He is so adorable. We say 'I love you' to each other all day long. I am so blessed to have him!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Isn't the arrows pattern paper rocking! I love it! I cut out the center since it was getting covered anyways, just to save that paper! LOL, Yes I do have a paper addiction. I hoard in all possible ways:) I love all the papers used on this layout. The weekdays, the arrows, and the kraft love paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used Ali Edward's handwriting font for the title. I used kraft, white and blue core cardstock. I cut the three layers, one slightly bigger than the other just so they would peek from underneath. I saw Amy Tan's layout <a href="http://www.amytangerine.com/2012/10/sc-sock-hop-reveal.html/cheers_1-2">here</a> and loved how she hand stitched those arrows. I decided to do mine in brown. I love the transparency tape. I added some at the bottom and top. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also stitched some silvers arrows. I am obsessed with silver and gold ! I added little bits of AC Silver glitter ribbon in three different places on the layout. I think it adds such a rich feel to the whole page! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After adding some more machine sewing in silver, I cross-stitched the word 'Love' with the same brown thread. I cut the bubble from the Take Note paper by pebbles. The twist in this challenge was to use the word 'Enter' somewhere on the layout. I used it to say ' Entered Terry Hershey Park at 3.15 and left three hours later'. The vellum happiness bubble was part of my SC kit. The tiny puffy arrows,hearts and clouds are also SC Kit exclusives! Well, I hope I have inspired you a little bit today!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a difficult month with Anurag. One long stressful month. But we did manage to have some fun in between:-) I am so thankful for the few days filled with fun and happiness. We left home to go to Gymboree drop-off class, only to find out they had changed the schedule and not updated it online. I got totally irritated with the girl at the front desk since she didn't even let us enter and wait in the lobby for 20 minutes for the open gym to start. I decided to take Anurag to the park instead of waiting in the parking lot. It turned out to be so much fun ! We were at the park for three hours! Watched the ducks, played on the slides, climbed, did monkey bars, took a snack break, walked and ran around. It was good to spend quality time together. I had to scrap the photos we took at the park.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I loved the fall-ish color palette and the sketch at CMS for Challenge #15. This is my take on it! I totally enjoyed working on this layout.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I back-stitched the sun rays. It took quite some time to hand sew. But, was fun. I finally used my huge stash of embroidery thread ! I also machine sewed some rays in silver. I am loving the metallic thread I picked up from Joann's. So much fun! I cut out the circle from the SC pattern paper and added a bright yellow polka dot paper for the sun. I love how bright it is! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started my journaling right on the layout but still had a lot to write! So I added a shipping tag to do the rest of my journaling. I added a blue ribbon to capture one of the challenge colors. I added washi at the bottom of the picture to match the horizontal lines in the sketch. I did some machine sewing with silver thread on the layers. I am totally obsessed with sewing! I love the flair it adds to a layout.</span></div>

I was so proud of Anurag to finally have overcome his fear of closed slides! I added a trophy sticker by Pink Paislee. Sid thought it was funny:-). I added some Mister Hueys and some Wood Veneer Stars to finish it off. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so behind on my scrapping and project life. I have every intention to catch up though. It has been a rough few weeks with Anurag. He has not been well and last night was his first asthma attack for this winter. I think it is because of him rolling on the carpet at our friends house. I told him so many times, he doesn't understand :( .He is wheezing. I hope he gets better soon. I hate it when he is not well and he says ' it hurts Amma'. So helpless! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Moving over to my layout! I have been wanting to scrap Anurag's first day of school pictures! I saw this T-Shirt at Target which said ' Ready Set Go' and I knew it would be perfect for his first day. I love the bright orange shorts! He knows the signal so well. Red means stop, Yellow means slow down and Green means Go! He tells me this over and over again when we are driving. And hey if I don't slow down and choose to go instead ( I did that once) ..he promptly voiced his concern and told me ' You should have stopped, It was yellow. I saw the signal turn red. ' I felt horrible. Not doing that ever again!! He is so caring. Sid told him once that we don't talk and drive because it is not safe. He tells me everytime I pick up the phone to just call for a minute or two! He insists that I should stop talking. I hardly do it ever, just those quick, I am on the way or Where are you. But I listen to him :-) I feel so happy that he looks out for all of us!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what I came up with the challenge palette for this fortnight at Color Me Scrappy! I had so much fun working with the challenge colors. It is totally me:) Bright and Happy! I used SC Yearbook , AC shoreline and some things from my first SC kit. Yes you heard that right!! I am subbing to SC now! YAY! I wrote the date on the apple wood veneer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used craft knife to distress and tear the edges and stitched on the paper with my sewing machine. I really had to stop myself from sewing more on this layout! It is a lot of fun and addictive! The abc card on the right is a silhouette store file. I added the thursday and friday flair. Those are his school days. The Yearbook wood veneers are awesome! I love them! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I picked up a pack of 50 wooden clothespins from Joann's. They were just a few dollars. I painted them with regular acrylic paint in Red, Yellow and Green and added a twine between them. Sort of like developing pictures in a dark room. The washi tape came with my first SC kit. I had trouble figuring out what to write with on the washi tape. After trying out a few pens, Sharpie worked with no problem.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the foam thickers by Amy Tangerine. I colored the white foam thickers with a yellow memento marker. Stamped the first day of school. It is from a set by Ali Edwards. I am loving all her stamps! They were on sale at Two Peas! Go get some before they run out! I picked up four sets I think! I am totally a fan of her stamps:-) I love them. They are perfect for project life and layouts! The cut the geo tag and the title on silhouette. I used pacifico font for the title. It is a free download from dafont.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since it is World Card Making day and Anurag has been invited to a birthday party, I think it calls for a card! The theme of the party is pirates! So here is my card! The inside says 'Happy Birthday'. I cut the bubbles on Cameo and layered red card stock under the white bubble. Some red and black twine from the twinery and it was done! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I saw the colors for Challenge #13, I loved them! I knew I would be using them for a beachy layout! This is what I came up with using the Challenge colors as inspiration.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Checkout the color combo this challenge is based on! I think it can be used for a fall layout as well or a black and white photograph would work too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this photo shoot planned out. I wanted all of us to wear white and beige and do a photo shoot during our cape cod vacation! Cape Cod was so beautiful! Lovely beaches!White Sand! So relaxing and fun! A much needed vacation:) . Not surprising the best photo of the whole shoot was the most unplanned one. So cool that Sid caught this on Camera! I love it! Pure innocence! Feel of sand slipping through your fingers, trying to close your fist as tight as possible. Watching it with such innocence. Wish time would stop...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this title in my mind from the beginning of the layout. I was trying to get a good translation for it and do the title in english. I almost went with ' To see a world in a grain of sand' ( From a poem by William Blake). But then, Sid was like why don't you just do the title in hindi. I found the font Shusha and also a keyboard help file to go with it. It took me 2 hours to figure it out! I love the end result though! The title translates to 'the world in my fist'. I added that to the layout as well. I don't think Anurag is going to be able to read hindi when he grows up. Maybe we will teach him, we will see! I didn't glue the whole title down, a little glue and some staples and left it like that. It adds some dimension.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added the Globe stamp and embossed it with white zing. I thought the camera looked empty with holes, so added the stars in the center. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used 'Samarkan' font from dafont to do the english translation. It looks so pretty!! It is a very commonly used hinglish font:-) I am going sequin crazy! I picked up some more sequins in a bigger size. Its crazy they had such little sequins in it! I think I am going to pick up those 4 oz bags next time I go, in different sizes and shapes. I think it looks really cool on a layout. Just enough shine! 'You are my Sunshine' was a printable from the pop off the page class by SC. I added twine on the photo, just for a little color and kind of tying it all together.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used Gold Shine spray by Heidi Swapp on the leaves. The leaves were also a cut file from the SC class. I yellow paper is handmade . It is from India. I love the vellum script paper from hobby lobby. I added a doily by wilton to make the layout softer. I added the woodgrain paper by Miss Caroline to go with the fence. The colors are so nice on the woodgrain. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had absolute fun making this layout. The colors worked perfectly with my picture. I used a 6 by 8 photograph. Using a enlarged picture is so fun!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This fortnight's color challenge is something fun! Fruit Loops inspired! I actually had a cup full of fruit loops while working on this challenge ;) In my defense, it was solely for the purpose of inspiration!! Check out the color combo!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I totally love this pic. Anurag's eyes are just so lit up! I love how happy he looks in this. I can relive this moment with this pic over and over again. He is so crazy about bubbles! I love when he says 'double bubble ' with this huge smile on his face. Even at gymboree, he keeps asking his instructors for bigger bubbles. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stitched around the page for the first time. Actually, I stitched on a layout for the first time. I somehow never was comfortable to do it before. It is so darn easy, I don't know why I was so afraid to do it! I made up my mind and just decided to do it. And it worked out!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I misted yellow on the edges. I still haven't got the hang of misting yet. It looks so perfectly colored. Doesn't have that misted look I think. Need to look for misting tutorials! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut the title out on Cameo using Pacifico font and stitched the cutout on the negative. That is the in thing right now. And it was so fun to do it! I love the white on white look! Never thought it would look so good! I just wish I had the title going from bottom to top instead of top to bottom. It would have been easier for the eye?! Well I know what it says!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I embossed the chevron and the yellow dotted circles. I love the look of white embossing powder on the grey cardstock. It came out pretty cool! I stitched the tab on the photo. I cut the tab out on Cameo. It looks so cool stitched on. Next time, I should just stictch on the tab and adhere it on the photo. It will still give the same look, stitching on photo is a little difficult. Too thick.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut out the circles on my Cameo. I added candy pink foil paper, blue glitter paper, and embossed circles for the background. I really wanted to use foil paper. I don't know why! I looked and looked and couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, ended up using Wilton Candy paper :-). </span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added SC wood veneers, flair button from their pop off the page class kit. I am taking this class to learn how to layer. This is my first layout after reading through the first lesson of the class. I am loving it. When I was going through the pdf , I didn't think I would be able to apply it. But I was able to! I love all the layering. One thing I learnt, pop dots are your friend !</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the green vellum paper from the Recollections Amy Tan stack. It is my favorite! I might end up buying one more stack just for this. But the colors are so fun, I might actually use it! I added silver sequins to just move the eye along. I got such fun colors for like 4 or 5 dollars! Super cheap way to embellish!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The layout which I did is so new to me! I have never done a layered layout. I loved the result. It is very relaxing and fun.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used silhouette to cut out the title and the quote bubble. I had some red fabric net, I had bought about 4 years back and I added that to this layout to add some texture. I made the camera vellum envelope. The vellum paper is from Recollections Amy Tangerine Paper Pack. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had such a difficult time with the title though. I used red cardstock to make the title. Then didn't like it. Painted it blue. Then silver!! Then finally resorted to metallic grey, which I loved! I am happy with the overall look.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got bored of my old look and when a friend asked about how I added elements to my blog, I was motivated to making it better. I have been wanting a wider writing area for a long time. So here it is! My new blog look. I almost wanted to pay and get it done initially. I googled and found templates, videos and tutorials on how to do it. People in the crafting community are so generous! I found wonderful backgrounds, blog extras and tutorials. I couldn't get my background to go all the way up. Fixing that took some time. I added labels and tabs. I added a pic for the header with the blog title. I am happy with the way it looks now! At-least for sometime. I need to add details under the tabs. I love Chevron and the colors are inspired by the Skirt I am wearing. This is my favorite pic right now! I love Anurag's smile in this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, A friend of mine just delivered a baby boy! He is so cute! I do remember Anurag being that small. It brought back so many memories! I wanted to give her something personal and I know she has always liked my work. So, I decided to make a mini album for her. My first ever! It's been a couple of month since I got the Cinch. This was a good reason to start using it. Hopefully, now I will use it more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the front of the album. I put a ribbon around it, so that it can tied together. Once the photos and journaling will be added, the album is not going to close. The cover is extremely sturdy. I used bind it all chipboard covers. The album is 8 by 8. I liked that better than 6 by 6. Easier to add photos for someone who is really not into editing photos and re-sizing them into smaller photos to fit in the album.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is how it look when the ribbon is untied. I added those buttons over the elephant's trunk for welcoming the baby. When the elephant is happy and playful , they make the aaawwaa sound with the trunk up or spray water. I used felt thickers to add the baby's name to the cover. This album essentially covers hospital to home. Homecoming Album is what I would call it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the first page of the album. I added the baby stats journaling card, some tags for photos and journaling. I added ribbon tabs on each page, so you don't have to touch the album to turn the pages. It is secured with a staple. Some stickles and flowers. Baby's first pic would go perfectly on this page.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my favorite page! I love love the tiny hands and feet vellum sheet! It is so wonderful! I added some vellum quotes on the right side. Each page has envelopes with tags to add extra photos and do journaling. Tags and the album by itself are extremely sturdy. Each page has two layers heavy cardstock plus pattern paper. It is heavy and nice. I love the embellishments on this page. I am happy how it turned out!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw the latest product by Silhouette, the dust cover for the Cameo. I thought why not make one. Found a pattern by MzDaisy. Thankyou for sharig the pattern:) I had leftover fabric from the dust cover I stitched for Pazzles and Big Shot. It wasn't too difficult. Took me about one hour. Anurag kept asking questions. I probably read a book or two in between! I really like my own personal dust cover( Much Cheaper!!). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry for the poor photo! I took it with my phone and no natural light. I made a fabric flower to give it a little pretty factor. For the pazzles, I had done a piping in the alternate fabric all around at the bottom. This time I was feeling lazy. LOL...that would have been easier considering my fingers are covered in fabri-tac from the flower! It ate my nail color! Super Sticky but good stuff!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I hope you will give this a try. It isn't too difficult ! And way more colorful ! I really wanted yellow cover but didn't want to cut the new fabric just for this. I do have a very cute yellow fabric I had bought to stitch a skirt...yes sometime in the future I will finish that project ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you can't make one, let me know ! I will make you one for a little charge. It will support my paper addiction ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what I came up with! I did a mirror image of the sketch and made it into a two pager. You must already know I love two pagers! Well, Photo selection was easy. I chose the recent July 4th pics. The color combo made it super easy and fun !</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I won the July ribbon kit from <a href="http://ribboncarousel.com/">Ribbon Carousel</a>. Check them out! They have some great sale and super cute stuff! It was perfect for my layout. I had so much fun weaving the ribbon. I love the red and blue with white stars on it! The red,white and blue twine added a little extra edge to the hidden journaling tag. I made flags with toothpicks and added some ribbon and rhinestone to it as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually misspelled Philly. LOL. I did correct it later. And my husband couldn't stop laughing about the gatorade. He thought it was weird that I wrote gatorade in the middle of all that. Hey in my defense, it was too hot!! Equally important part of the day:) Couldn't have done without it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just got a Cameo!! I was wanting one forever! I love how everybody is cutting all intricate stuff on it. I am so thrilled!!!!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used Silhouette Cameo to cut out 'happy'. It is a free font. I do have Pazzles too btw. Crazy isn't it?? What am I going to do with two, I still don't have an answer. I used Mister Huey's misting spray and some rhinestones for embellishing. I am not very good with sprays yet. I need to watch some You Tube videos and learn. I am loving those rhinestones! I wish I had picked up a ton of them at CKC. I was not sure if I am going to like it. But, now I do!! I love it!</span></div>

Oops I am so late in posting this! I thought I had it scheduled it, but I didn't! <span style="background-color: white;">So this month we had a pretty cool color combo to work with. The colors worked perfect with the photos I chose!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is what I came up with! It was SO MUCH FUN to make this layout! I am totally into lots of photos on a layout mode right now! This layout is based on a sketch by Allison Davis, I changed the orientation and embellishments placement and title space etc to fit my liking!</div>

I painted the bee-hive background with bubble wrap! It was so cool! I loved the effect. I printed the bees from the internet and cut them out with scissors and used a black marker to make the trail. I had so much journaling to do , that I ended up making an envelope to fit my journaling! Anurag was truly buzzing like a bee at the Please Touch museum in Philli. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is time for yet another challenge at Color Me Scrappy! The color palette given had two shades of pink. Pink is a very difficult color for me. Surprisingly I have very little pink in my stash, well not that surprising. I hardly ever buy pink. With two boys in the family, I rarely use pink and I never scrap myself. Hope project life changes that!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can click on the image to view it bigger. I used pazzles to cut the cupcakes and the frames. The title part in black was also cut on pazzles. The cupcake border was done using fiskars cupcake border punch. The white foam thickers are by Amy Tan. Some acrylic painted chipboards and it was done! This layout is based on a Allison Davis Sketch.</span></div>
