I {heart} Deutschland !

Hi Divas,

For the first time, I have created something dedicated to myself completely, ever since I have been to Germany, I am so much in love with it that I keep on looking at the treasured memories I have in the form of pictures, so I decided why not create something that would always remind me of the amazing time I have spent in Deutschland !  This is primarily based on The Paper Variety current sketch

I had taken these pictures near the river side in Germany on my very last day ! It was a girls day(and night) out :D Ohh...how I miss my buddies !!

I have used a lot of paper - Papermania, DCWV, KI Memories and bits and pieces from my stash

I love detailing, did you notice the 'donut' near the 'cookie/eye candy' paper !

And yes, how can I not mention about the big prettiest sunflower I am holding in my hand, well that was one of my 'parting gifts' from my dearest girlfriends. ..

Ironically, it was also carnival time in Germany, so carrying the flower everywhere kinda gave 'carnival feel' ..and made my last day..so memorable !

I am entering this to the following challenges

Mini Album

Heya,

How have you been? I had been going through some rough patch, lost some one near and dear to me :'( (but such is life), it really doesn't wait , learnt a few things, the hard way ! And realized why and where am I going? Is it worth 'my life' ...I don't know, may be I sound confused, that's probably because I am going through a phase where you dive deep into thoughts and come up with your own learnings. Anyway, I hope we all know what we want and at what cost ! Without anymore philosophical talks, let me show you this mini album which I have recently completed.

                                          Cover page with a handmade rose

I am back with Spring !

Hey girlies,

It has been more than a while that I have been away...hope u remember me ! Well, I have been on a Euro trip and thoroughly enjoyed every moment..I was stationed in Germany but every weekend was a different destination ...right from Paris, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Sweden and the list goes on and on.. ;-) Check out few pics from my brief expedition :D

Directly coming to my Spring creation, I have actually created something after a very long time so I am all geared up and totally loved how the layout came out to be. Have a glimpse

My prime focus had been 'Butterflies'....these are totally handmade and look gorgeous ! The blue and pink rose on the right are handmade too...

Another view covering my third butterfly

I have used a lot of Prima flowers that belong to one of my recent purchase from Europe :D 

The white lace has been slightly distressed and I have left the pink frame on the top left blank to insert appropriate sentiment as per the occasion !

And that is the complete layout !  

This goes for the following challenges

PDCC 99

Hey again....

Second post in a day....crafted to my heart's content :D Started a lot of things, not finished all of them though...So in continuation with my love for lavender and likes, I made this card for PDCC current challenge

The picture always looks interesting but this time it was challenging for me to co find co ordianting elements..
Starting with the details of the artwork...

The big yellow rose is handmade, I have put some golden leaves to compliment the flowers and the color pallette of course

The sentiment is a digital freebie...The entire arrangement is placed on a big lavender tag, there are purple bead embellishments on the corners of the tag, you can also see a white doily underneath the sentiment

The sassy strands in yellow and purple are from CTMH, the button adorning it is from Pie Lane

The PP's used are Brenda Walton and Papermania

Hope you like it !!

Lavender it is !

Hey friends....

I have been MIA for a while....from blogland but creating a lot, just no time to post !
This is my second attempt at circle easel and I am so in Love with lavender!!

The flowers are handmade, used Brenda Walton PP, I have been using these glittery butterflies a lot lately,made with MS glitter, sentiment is a digital freebie and button from Pie lane

The card stands against a preety chipboard flower !

Lillies again - PDCC 97

Heya....

I haven't been crafting a lot lately....but managed to do a bit over the weekend....made a card for PDCC97 challenge which is to use a splash of red...

I came up with these handmade lillies again...

The black cardstock underneath the lillies is embossed..I want to do a lot of embossing but haven't really tried much...Since I did not use much of white, I thought of including more of white by using those stones around the rhombus

So with the scarcity of white on my card, I later on added a butterfly too ! And do you notice the red stone at the corner ..

Lillies always make me smlie...they look just wow on this card too !!

It goes for the following challenges too

http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/09/day-187-past-present-and-future.html - Past - Used lillies after long, Present -favorite colour is red nowadays,Future -  it emphasizes happiness - which is integral in any event of life !

Hi Peeps...

When I saw this color palette at PDCC, it was irresistible....

Yummy colors... !! Plus I had been so keen on making a wedding theme card and with these colors I think I found a way to put both together and come up with this card below

                                                        The sentiment is a digital freebie

That's the bride, on the cardstock I have used PEACHish pearl paper, there is papermania PP, Brenda Walton PP, and the bestest Pie Lane self adhesive rhinestones.

   I have used this transparent white ribbon over which I have placed the flowers ...I love the way the flowers have turned out, these are handmade felt flowers with pearl centres. !
