Sweet card

I believe that if you start your day with something sweet...the rest of the day is invariably good...so thats what I am going to do to you as well as myself.
My card's LO is inspired by the sketch at scrapbook essentials and the image is from D2D.
The current challenge at Sentimental sundays asks crafters to create something valentine themed...and this is my entry to their challenge.The gems are from Pie lane.

So this one is dedicated to each one of you.
I have used Birdie Brown image on this card and the sketch is inspired from Card Patterns.This one is also suitable for the current challenge at designed to delight (Create a project including heart)and Sentimental Sundays( Challenge #85 Ribbon).The sentiment is from Scrapalicious times.

FALL CARD

Here is my card .

I am sorry for this hurried post.Still in the middle of shifting.A major chunk has been done but a substantial amount is still left.I had to post this card because it is a progressive challenge on D2d blog and the deadline is very close.
The image is from D2d and I have colored it with color pencils and then added a touch of glossy accents.I have used my new Ippity stamp and the frosted white ink too which arrived yesterday from Ujjwal.This card is suitable for the skipping stones sketch challenge and the sentimental sundays-anything goes challenge too.
the gemstones are from pie lane.
I managed to create something with whatever was left in this house....since the rest has all already gone into the other house.Hope you like it.

A card for a special friend

I am on a roll and for a reason...I have to complete a few projects asap because I may be shifting this weekend...MAYBE because this is defence and things are fluid and ambiguous all the time so I not sure if the house will be ready for its new occupants.

Anyways all that later....I would like to share my new card that I made for D2D.The image is from D2d and the sentiment is from sentimental sundays.The sketch is from CPS.The twine is from my stash.This card also enters the ongoing challenge at sentimental sundays.

The current challenge at Sentimental sundays urges you to step out of your comfort zone.Ihave made 4by 9 card only once earlier and thats becasue I have to make an envelope for it .So this is just not my style....But I quite like the way it turned out

Falloween cat but not a halloween card

I know the title is weird but its ought to be because this is the longest it took me this time to make a card for D2d which i diligently do week after week.But this time it was different because I can't relate to Halloween and so can't make Halloween cards.Also I have nobody to send them to.I do not have any friend who celebrates Halloween.So it took me the longest time to think of what to make with this week's image and last night I had a light bulb moment when I thought i could also make a bday card with that one.So here is my one more half an hour project which almost wasn't going to happen.

Thing of beauty

Hi Peeps!
I officially announce that Udhampur is the worst place ever...in every aspect possible.Its impossible to find worse domestic help and more inconvenient place.So get the pic?Struggling and trying to cope with household chores,immobility and host of social events lined up.
So friends please please please cheer me up.
I am sharing this card hopefully on time.Its for the progressive challenge on Designed to delight.The sketch is from Skipping stones.I made a different card earlier;because though the image is beautiful but couldn't decide what sort of thing I could make with it and wasn't too happy with the card and just before clicking Erum came to my rescue with her beautiful Baby Boy card...so I was inspired and I made a card again.Hope you like it.
