Event Decor Ideas - Baby Arrival

Hello guys
I am here to share a few ideas to decorate your home to welcome your new baby or you can do that for someone else. I enjoyed decorating a clients house...and it hardly took time. I made a bunch of rosettes and butterflies and decorated the entire place...so much fun when its for a baby girl. i get too involved when I get to play with pinks and glitter.

This is the Desset station....and the wall has a big onesie banner along with rosettes and butterflies....so cute isnt it.

I also went nuts decorating the cradle with a glitter crown and more butterflies and hanmade rosettes...loved the pinks at play here.

And here are the doors of the nursery and parents room....simple yet cute....so in love with all this. I hope you all get inspired and make something to brighten up someones baby welcome ceremony.
Thank you for stopping by..have a fun week ahead.

Christmas Wreath - Rustic

Hello guys
Here I am sharing yet another wreath with you all today. I made this rustic wreath for my friend using burlap and twigs and some handmade ribbon.....so much fun making this. This wreath is 16" in diameter and is quite big and heavy.....its a perfect door embellishment.

To make this wreath, I have used burlap and white lace from ItsyBitsy. The big ribbon bow is made from scratch by me...I painted red and green stripes on white cloth and then glued it on white cardstock to add a little stiffness to it. Once dry, I then made my festive bow. I further embellished it with gold bead chain. I made my own ribbon because I didnt have any I my stash.

I built the center using twigs and wired green berries and finished it all with my bow and a blingy center. Its made using such simple supplies but it looks like a lot of effort has gone into making it. Here are a few more close ups of my festive wreath....hope you all will like this.

I am putting us this wreath at the following blog challenges:-

1. Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #180 - Anything Christmas Goes
2. More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes optional White
3. Scrapping4fun Challenge #130 - Christmas
4. Mix It Up challenge #20 - Anything Goes optional twist no stamping.

Getting ready for Christmas with a Holiday Wreath.

Hello Hello Hello
Welcome to my blog. I have a Holiday wreath to share with you all today. Christmas is all about gifts and I made this wreath for my friend....I have been wanting to make and send something handmade for his all this time and finally found this perfect opportunity....right after I taught making Rustic Home Decor Wreath at the ItsyBisty Creativity Carnival at Bangalore on 9th Dec, 2018. This wreath is really big and measures 16" in diameter.... so its appropriate for your doors or any other space you wish to decorate.

Now that I am back....here is what I made from my friend....I hope you guys like it too. All the supplies used are from the ItsyBitsy craft store.....and you can buy it all from their physical or online store. I have used a lot of flowers, glitter, wicker balls, paper rope, metal wreath frame, pom pom trim, paper ribbon and sugar pollens to build my wreath, My choice of adhesive is silicon glue which is really cool and adheres well. I had so much fun building this one.

Here are a few more close ups of the floral arrangement....these flowers are such good quality and look so elegant. I hope you all can see the sparkle gold star at the back...which I felt is kinda icing on the cake....my project would have felt incomplete without it.

I am entering this wreath at the following blog challenges

1. Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #180 - Anything Christmas Goes
2. More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes optional White
3. Scrapping4fun Challenge #130 - Christmas

Thank You for stopping by..have a fun day ahead.

Baby Girl Mini Album and Keepsake Boxes

Hello guys
I ma so excited to share this mini album and keepsake boxes with you all today. This is made on commission and is flying all the way to Germany to hold the memories of a sweet baby girl.

I am joining the Mini Album Makers Challenge - November 2018 with this project.

I have a 9"by 9"mini album with 4 1/2"spine which had 6 very interactive pages that can hold 120 plus pictures. Along with this, my client also requested for 4 keepsake boxes which very not very small and so I made 4 boxes which are each 4"by 4"by 4" and can hold booties, mittens, hospital tags, hairlocks and so much more very easily. To house this all, I made a 2 storied box which measures 10.5"by 11.5"by 10.5" in size (l x b x h)

The entire project is made using Prima Marketing Heaven Sent 2 collection - A4 paper pad, 6 by 6 paper pad. 4 x 6 journalling cards, 3 x 4 journalling cards, ephemeras, chipboard stickers, word stickers and flowers all from this collection.

Apart from this, I have used white handmade papers, cardstocks, embellishments, flowers, laces, stickers and more from ItsyBisty craft store.

Had so much fun making this project...I hope you all will enjoy watching the video flip-through of this project.

 Thank you for stopping by..have a fun day ahead.

Black Romance Mixed Media Scrapbook

Hello guys

I am so excited to share this project with you all......a mixed media scrapbook album where there are layers, textures and embellishments on every page.....ohhhh SUPER FUN!!!!

This scrapbook is 12" x 12" in size and 3" in thickness. The scrapbook had 6 beautifully decorated mixed media pages and each can hold 1 to 2 pictures an few secret message tags. This project is a custom order for a special client who asked me to do what I love but include black in my creation with more focus on the pictures.....so I built this Black Beauty....YUM YUM YUM!!!

This is a romance album and I wanted to give it this futuristic feel......as she wanted to put pictures from her married life from the coming important events in the FUTURE.....thats good planning I must say. Here is a video walkthrough of this album.

I have used Eno Greetings Retro Series paper pack  along with plain black cardstock to build this album. Every page holds 1 or 2 5" x 7" pictures and I have also added secret message tags on few pages. This album holds a total of 18 pictures...but a lot more can be accommodated if few interactive elements be added to pages....but my client wanted only 1 or 2 pictures per page and to keep all the focus on the pictures.

I have used a lot of embellishments from ItsyBitsy and Prima Marketing to decorate my cover. The colors used are from Lindy's Stamp Gang - Magical Shakers and Tinted Metallic paints from ItsyBitsy. To give it more shine, I used art alchemy waxes from Finnabair......supplies are listed below.

Each page has a lot of texture and dimension created using splattering, stamping, stenciling, heat embossing and embellishing.....a lot of effort had gone into making this album....and i hope you all like it. Here are a few pictures of the pages.

I am putting my album up at the following challenges -

1. More Than Words November 2018 Challenge - Future and Stars.- My album cover has starts and the overall cover has a futuristic appeal to it.
