Have a great weekend.

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

The insides.
The handmade envelope.

I created this card for my twin nephews who are turning 13 this year.The image is from Torico.The embellie is a donut button from Pie Lane.The papers are from Echo park and the ribbon is from my stash.The sentiment was computer generated and the sketch is from CPS's last week's challenge.

Upcycled jar

Another quick post.I have upcycled a jar...an ordinary glass jar to hold homemade rumballs.Nothing much to talk about it.so sharing the pics.unfortunately forgot to click the pic of the jar without the frills.
The images are from TLC and the ribbon was picked up from a dingy shop in Pathankot recently.The mandatory Pie lane embellie is there flanked by tiny half backed pearls.the sentiment is so true for many but me ....I do not like chocolates.i love everything spicy and sour...like just today I harassed a friend to get me truckload of churan from Jaipur.
