Name plate

Hi Friends!

Hope you all are doing well.I am sharing a customised name plate .The size of the frame is 12x8.5.Quite big.The photo of the couple is printed on a wooden tile and then stuck here.rest is pretty self expalnatory.Loads of wooden embellishments..from craftslane used here.They are either painted or embossed and then stuck.
To give a protective layering I varnished it in the end.
Linking it to beyond grey challenges-

BGC#59- Use wood or Chipboard +Colour palette

Thanks for passing by.

Altered chopping board name plate

Hi Friends!

Detail shots

Check out the altered spoon.painted it gold and brown to give antique look.add crackle accents to the sticker and a few beads.

The chopping board before it was subjected to my idiosyncrasies

Hope you all are fine.I have quit my job and I am settling down in Pune (finally) with my kids.There is a lot of crafting going on in my craft room right now and that is keeping me sane.I am sharing an altered/ upcycled craft with you today.Made a name plate for a dear friend who shares my birthday.it is going all the way to Goa and I hope she likes it.She has shifted into a new house and has been looking for nameplates but couldn't pick any coz none caught her fancy.thats why I am a bit nervous about this one.The four birds symbolize the family.The papa ,mama and the little girls in their house.I chose chopping board and spoon and some cutlery embellies because she is an avid cook and I presume her house is full of  delicious aromas at all points of time
I was extremely inspired by the current challenge at Beyond Grey challenges and happy that I finally managed to make something suitable.I hope it is shabby/ vintage enough for the challenge.I made something for the flowerfull challenge too but my Internet connection was playing funny and so couldn't post it on time.
Anyway this is already a long post and I also have a picture heavy post so would like to stop my rambling here.
Thanks for passing by.
Hugs!
P.S.- I am having problems posting comments on your blogs.Can anyone tell me why? Its funny .I type my comment and enter / publish and it is completely gone .No idea what is happening.

Lulupu Challenge #10-Birthday special blog hop Day 6

Hello Everyone!
www.lulupu.com turns 1 this month and we are all happy and celebrating!
I have been with Lulupu since the very first day and have grown as a crafter and blogger ever since. I have also met some very fine people and crafters and worked with them a s a team.I wish Lulupu a very happy first birthday and many more such fantastic years ahead.

March is going to be fun at Lulupu - The Craft Lounge! There will be many giveaways and tonnes of fun so do ensure you follow Lulupu all around FB, Twitter, Pinterest and Youtube! To kick start the celebration we have a Lulupu Design Team Blog Hop along with the monthly challenge. So if you have landed at this post just now, you can start HERE and join us in this fun filled week !

So here I am sharing my project for Lulupu Challenge #10 - Let's Celebrate.

As the challenge suggests, we were to take inspiration from a fellow Design Team member and create a project that celebrates.... well... just about anything. My inspiration was Shruti's Valentine day project  to make your own pattern paper.
I loved the way Shruti made her own pattern paper and this is my take on the inspirtaion.
I made a name plate for Trisha my daughter's room.
I used Micia full bloom stamp and stamped repaeatedly to make my own patternpaper.I fussy cut some flowers and used them as embellishments.The butterfly is from K company chipboard.
Linking it to the following challenges.
