U & Me

Hope you all had a great start to the week!! I surely did because I made my second layout ever :D . I have to admit that scrapbooking is very addictive. I made this using the sketch at Hero Arts and incorporated stitching for Alice's Stitching challenge at Yvonne's blog.

 Supplies: papers: Echo Park Papers(Playground,Springtime);stamps: Hero Arts(Speckled Ornaments); ink: Momento (lady bug), Unity Co.(Viridian Leaf), Element stickers from Echo Park Springtime collecton

I have stayed in Hostel for 8 long years and have a lots of pictures from college time. I guess its time I showed them some love. I am thinking of making an album for all the layout that I create in the coming days. Lets see when that happens. As for now, I am in love with the Echo Park Papers and you will see more of them here for days to come.
Hope you like it! Thanks for playing!

  11. Super super cute!! Your hostel layouts are reminding me of my college days..this journaling reminds me of my room-mate of 3 yrs...she left while I had another year to go...I think if I ever make a layout with my hostel days, the only title I can think of, "Those were the best days of my life" and head-banging to the beats of that song!!! ( I used to do that too, we had MIT nearby to give us rock concerts year after year!!)

Diwali Wishes

Hello people!! The weekend is so near that it makes me happy already :D Finally I started on my Diwali cards for this year. I know I am terribly late but I am trying to make it up. For my readers who aren't aware of the Diwali festival, Diwali is known as the festival of lights and one of the biggest festivals in India signifying the victory of good over evil. This year we are celebrating Diwali on 5 November. We celebrate by decorating our houses, lighting candle, fireworks, lots of good food, and lots and lots of sweets (I love this part :D) 


Okay now enough of blabbering, here is a card a made for the Moxie Fab World Challenge - Perfectly Placed Pleats  and Speedy the Cat's Friend's Challenge - Stitching


Look how the paper pleats make for the cutest candles. Doesn't that stitched sentiment look pretty too?

After I made one and liked it, I went crazy experimenting with colors, size, and various different things :D
Here is another variations I came up with.

One year back on 16th of May, we got engaged and I wanted to gift him something special and different and that is when I stumbled upon Monicka Wright's blog and decided to case her wonderful note card.

It made me fell so ble…

Gond Painting !!

Wishing you all a very happy holi !! Its a colorful spring festival celebrated here in India and I wish that it brings lots of happiness and good things in life for all of you!

And on this colorful occasion, I thought I'd share something different and something close to my heart with you all. I have been crafting right from when I was a little kid and I have always loved to explore different forms of art and craft one of which being the traditional folk art of India.

India has a very rich culture when it comes to art and off late I have been hooked to giving all different forms of folk art a try. After I tried my hands at Madhubani last year which is a folk art from the state of Bihar, I am now hooked to another tribal art form called Gond from the states of Central India (Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh)

I love the way these Gond Paintings look. They are simple and yet so detailed. Its all about filling in the everyday life motifs with dots, dashes and lines.
