A mini album-card

Hi there,

Yeah, it has been a while since I posted something... just plain busy... my brother in law's wedding is just about a month away and we are a little busy with things now :) I have been crafting too... just that I didn't post some little projects. Anyway, for the last 2 days (it took me the longest time ever!!), I've been busy with this little project for Vineet's cousin sister's daughter...

Inspired by colors from Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger:




This project is inspired by Laura's Garden Bugs Train mini album. I wanted to make something fun and cute for the little girl... I'm not overly happy with my choice of papers though :( but I'm glad with the final outcome! {Note to self: Use papers from the same pack next time I am in a hurry.... saves lot of time that I otherwise spend on matching!)


I loved the cute bugs in Laura's album.... couldn't do them justice here but I hope she likes it!


The cupcake is from a PTI stamp set... I filled in the icing with poster colors for brighter shine ;-)


The brad (center of the flower) was part of something I won at Yvonne's blog.


The 'Hello Kitty' chipboard piece is something I've been hoarding for a while not knowing what to do with it....


Ok, I messed up both these pages by writing in my stupid handwriting :( ... well, shows its handmade-ness!


Just wanted to show you this pretty paper lace tape I'd got from Hobby Ideas (before it closed down in my area :( ).

I know I could add more ribbon and flowers to the rings and pages... but I'm too lazy... I might add some before I give it away today :D

and finally... though the wrapping looks a bit shabby, I want to share a pic of this amazing ribbon :)... no, i didn't buy it! My mom had a roll of it lying with her (for God knows how long!) and she thought only I could use it :-p



Ciao soon,

Smita

PS: Aaryan is watching me type and wants me to add his name (the only word he can spell and read) in this post... big hugs from him to my blog friends :p
