Blessed!!

I am blessed to have made some lovely friends on blogland! If you remember, I had mentioned in a previous post that the birthday card that Shalini had sent me was lost in transition... Well, my darling friend made another card and sent it again to me. And this time it reached intact... And what a card it is!!!

She actually took the trouble of printing one of my recent vacation trips and using it on this card! Love you, girl!!Though my photography isn't too good, I hope you can see the brilliant card! It came in a matching box (you can see the lid in the background) that was filled with wooden shavings... awesome! And tied with a very pretty bow (I love!!).

Aaryan's first reaction was 'Wow! Mamma you got such a pretty card'! ;-) 

Thank you, Shalini, and everyone else for making this my bestest birthday ever by your thoughtful messages :-) I have never been joyously thinking about my birthday till mid Jan! :D

Ciao soon,

Booked!

Hello everyone...

Finally a nice and bright afternoon with no rain ;-)... it is a good break to have a dry day in the midst of the monsoons. I'd been out shopping... yeah, lucky me!! since I am a SAHM I do get to shop in the afternoons LOL!

A couple of projects I worked on yesterday...

The first one is a card for the Color Throwndown # 100 (do check out the blog! they have loads of prizes up for grabs!). Well, the colors were a little bit of a challenge for me. But my son (for whom I made this card) loved it so I'm glad ;-).. I've been wanting to make a kids card for a while now... can you believe it - in spite of having a 3 year old son, I have not really made many kids cards!! Anyway, hoping that this is the start I need.

The 'Sweet' sticker was a RAK from Tanjaa. All other stickers are local buys. The flowers on the left corners are pink (they don't look pink in the pic, I know).

My other creation is inspired by Juhi . I love love love her albums, maze books, tags... in short all her work! She shared a link for this creation with me... Thank you soooooooooo much Juhi!! And I love how it has turned out:

A handwritten message and a placeholder for a photo.

I loved the green paper pleated flower though disaster did strike it once ;-)

A lovely sticker with a pullout tag... perfect for a friend's secret :-p

I loved all the distressing and how it has turned out overall. I'll be giving this to my sister-in-law who has a loooong list of friends (and she is still in college) and I guess she'll use it well :-)) 

Ciao,

Smita
