Hi!I have loads to post but I am trying to limit myself to twice a week and it doesn't look like a great idea ...Why this twice a week restriction..... because I guess too much of myself for the readers if more than twice. Need your suggestions / inputs on the same .

I am sharing a card which I made for a friend who has opened a clothes shop in Kashipur.

The background paper was taken from here .The chain of lanterns  is a free digi stamp . The sentiment on the card was computer generated. And last but not the least the image of girl was chosen because whats a celebration without flowers.The flower embellishment is  a transparent blue one with white polka dots.

Trisha's school started today and she was very excited to go back to school.I finally managed to make an origami stationery holder for her .The image is here.The image on the stationery bag is a free digi . The 4 th grade supplies note was created on word and then printed out.

Trisha's teacher this year had asked all the kids to write about what they did in these vacations. Trisha was quite diligent in writing about all the major events in these vacations.She typed all these experiences too . All we had to do was edit ( which wasn't much ) and then print out . I spiced up her holiday journal a bit . Here is the image.

The image of the bard is a free digi stamp  from Phooka.The two background papers I have used are from here and here.The embellishments used are wooden lady bird and flower with a leaf.

                                               BACK TO SCHOOL  PROJECT -PART ONE

Hi! Trisha's school reopens next week and she is thrilled to be in grade 4  and joining back and so am I...for different reasons altogether.I have been busy making BACK TO SCHOOL projects for her . It is time consuming since I am using paper piecing techniques for the first time  but nevertheless  a fun activity. It was intended to be a surprise for her but then creative that she is ...she could not resist peeping into my art room and and then eventually helping me .She is good with computers so the back to school sentiment was typed and designed by her .She also taught me the cool tape effect for the same tiles . Child is the father of man is afterall pretty appropriate .

I have a couple of other projects lined up which I shall be finishing this week and then shall share it with you.

The birds , trees ,deer and squirrel were paper pieced from here.

The bus was paper pieced from here.

Haven't used any embellishments since it was not practical ,considering the clipboard is going to be used by her.

I wanted a simple clip on clipboard to modify for her homework assignments but could not find one .Hopefully this shall serve the purpose and will survive at least half the year . Although this was meant to be for homework purposes since ,Trisha gets her homework in handouts and then has to use the dining table for a solid support,she loved the idea and has decided to carry it to school too.Now she wants her new backpack big enough to accomodate the clipboard.Sigh.....another project.

Thanks for passing by and reading  about my mundane motherly activities.

Have a super sunday.See you soon .

Cheers!
