My Camera Stamp!

I have been wanting to get the Love Struck stamp set by Amy Tangerine cause I totally love the camera stamp. So today,( now that I have blown my budget for two months:D LOL ,dont ask how! You will see that in the next post!! ) I decided to make a camera stamp using pazzles! This is a pazzles image to which I added the heart. It came out super cute! I am totally proud of myself! I watched two of Klo's(she is amazing!) videos and finally tried it. I did waste some stamp rubber due to wrong cuts. Cleaning the path took some effort. But I got it! I am sooo happy with it! I actually wanted the heart to be colored in..but forgot to give the inner line for the heart, it still looks alright. I can always toss that little heart out and just draw it in myself when I stamp, or write numbers/words in the lens.

I plan to clean the stamp with baby wipe and try sanding it a little more, so I can get a crisper and bolder image. Going to bed with a big smile :) Hope you like it! Thanks for visiting me!

Challenge #2 at Color Me Scrappy

I can't believe its already time to post the second challenge over at Color Me Scrappy! We had a whopping 25 entries for the first challenge! The winner for the challenge would be announced in a few days. I hope we get even more entries for the second challenge.

The color palette for the second challenge is...


This is what I came up with! I loved playing with these colors!


Layering doesn't come naturally to me! It was a lot of effort but I loved how it turned out. There is a funny story behind these pictures. I got my first new smart phone and we went to the park. Took pics and kept thinking..why are the pictures so foggy,not clear. We were disappointed. We tried different modes and after a couple of days we finally realised..we had not removed the plastic wrapper on the camera! So duhhhhh!!

I used home made misting spray on the layout. It was easy. Just some acrylic paint,water and mod podge. I got the spray bottle from walmart travel isle. I stamped the background with the woodgrain stamp to match the texture on the table in the inspiration pic. Overall I am happy with it!

Ribbon Carousel Sketch Challenge!

This week Ribbon Carousel has paired up with Sweet Stamp Shop. I am totally in love with some of the yummy ribbons over at Ribbon Carousel. Gorgeous!! Check them out.




Today, I am here to show you my take on Ribbon Carousel's sketch challenge RCC44. There is still time to enter, if you want! Below, is the sketch for the challenge.



Here is my card! This card is for a very special person :-)I had a lot of fun doing this. I used prismacolor pencils for the background and the hydrangea. I am a beginner when it comes to coloring with these pencils. It took me quite a while! I wish I had stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop, since I don't I used stamps from my stash. Sweet Stamps have some very unique stamps. I can't wait to get my hands on them!I love MSS background stamps and CDS stamps. Very fun! I love stamps, can never have too many!

Happy Day!

I took these photos. I think it was Anurag's first time down the slide all by himself (well almost , Sid put him up on the slide)! Anurag loves Terry Hershey park. We still go there even though it is a good 30 minutes and there is one much closer to home.

I used Echo Park papers. No Idea which collection, but love them all! This is based on one of Allison Davis's layouts. I changed mine a bit, so that the fence match up. Looks pretty cool I think! Phew, I am finally done uploading layouts ! Going to work on the next one! I have so many more pics to scrap! I don't think you can ever catch up!Hope you like it!

Beach and Kemah Trip!

It was a memorable trip. Anurag was on his best behaviour! He was 3 months old! Mom and Dad liked the beach, the stop over at Kemah was nice. We did the boardwalk and had coffee at starbucks. Had subway for dinner I think. It was a good day.


All the papers on the layout are actually from a pound stack from walmart! So perfect!! I love the clouds, drops, pebbles, sand, jute patterns! Great Buy! I still have tons left from that stack! The stamps are by CTMH. I don't remember the name of the set. I used some twine and ribbon on the tag.



On the next layout, I used DCWV cardstock as base and stamped using bit of burlap background stamp by Market Street Stamps. They have some really good stamps. Check them out! I set the grommets using my big bite. The date stamp is by fiskars. We didn't plan to go to Kemah, that's why the title.


Hope you liked them! Thanks for visiting me!

First Temple Trip!

A very clean and simple layout. The brown paper is from Sweet Blooms stack by Colorbok. The green check strip and the light green cardstock is by DCWV Animal Crackers stack. It has very pretty papers but they are all girly. I hope they make some cute stacks for boys soon! Hope you like it!

Block Parrrrtaaay!

I used scraps on this one! The paper is from Animal Crackers by DCWV. It is a very cute stack! Must have if you have toddlers and zoo trips! Anurag loves playing with blocks especially with his dad. Fun to watch to them! So many memories to scrap, such little time..! Sid did the journaling for this one. Love the photos! Especially the focus of the layout!



It was a lot of fun to create! Hope you like it!

Breakfast @ Mommy's !!

Just looking at Anurag's pic, makes my heart melt. I love you to bits my little one!

I used Kraft Cardstock for the background. The pattern paper is from a paper studio stack. Made the fun tags for the journaling. Rub-on's are from my stash. I love how it turned out, lol not modest for sure :-)Hope you like it!
