Something new

***  This is my second post for today. Do scroll down to the next post and leave some love for my good friend, Sankari Wegman :-) ***

Something that I have been wanting to try for a while now is a full fledged book/album. I managed to create one finally... but as usual, managed to ruin it in the end! :-/ In fact, it almost got torn. Anyway, I was very happy with it till disaster struck, so I decided to share it anyway.

The bottom left page is the first page of the book. How do you think it has turned out? Any suggestion would be welcome.... especially ones on binding! {My favorite is the black, white and red one :-)}

I would like to thank a few people though... Tejal for the binding rings (girl, you are an angel!!!) AND Priya and Juhi for being such an inspiration :-) You guys are the original album pros :-)

Hugs,
Smita 

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
