Handmade with Love

...LOVE what you do !

 I love this quote even though I do not always follow it and end up cribbing about my job. Don't we all at some point?  :)

So I simply framed this  quote for display adorned with some handmade flowers.

I don't know how long it has been since I posted a card here. My poor blog is so ignored these days :)


Anyway, I did make a special fold card some days back and thought I will share it here and make my blog feel loved again (*wink*)

A lot of die cut flowers and leaves and a whole lot of rhinestones make this special fold card. This is how the front looks.

Here is that thing that has been keeping me busy, an A4 sized love themed album.
This one was so much of hard work, mainly because I created my own flower embellishments. Around 100 stamped, white embossed, colored and fussy cut flowers. No wonder my fingers were sore at the end of it all. But it was totally worth it.
Here are some pictures of the final project to drool over :)
