A Scrapbook for Teachers

Hello All!!

We all have indelible memories of our school days & of course our teachers! I know many of you are already nostalgic & into flashback...............thinking of your school days!!!

This is a very special year for my elder daughter as she graduates from Grade X & will be leaving her school. As a parting gift to the teachers she wanted me to compile a book of memoirs on behalf of all the graduating students. We both planned & discussed..........the only input from her time & again - mama please make sure it is simple with minimum embellishments & girly colors. Little did I realize the massive task it would be, coordinating with 60+ children at a time when they were meeting only for a few hours in school during their pre boards! This was also my first at making such an elaborate project.

 Finally this is what it resulted in - 

All the pages & inserts were bound with the chip board cover by the hidden hinge system. The year 2014 is handwritten with a embossing pen over which I have poured melted UTEE  to get the faux glass look.

Another view of the handmade bloom -

The book has inserts to accommodate personal thoughts of all the students - library pockets, waterfall inserts, flip flap book, accordion fold. 

I have used loads of stamps & pattern paper (most of these are from Itsy Bitsy) here. 

Leaving you with some images.........................

Ornate Tags

Hello lovely friends........hope you all had a great Diwali.

Sometime back I had participated is the swap organised by Swap Central India, where we were required to make three ornate tags. Sharing all these with you today.

In the first one I have created many layers using stamps, PP, diecuts..............

The second one is monochromatic & I created a pocket using vellum which holds a small bookmark......

Attempted a bit of parchment in this too.

The last one too has loads of layers & the pattern paper that you see is actually the packing of some Itsy Bitsy embellishments........

Used the CW template & texture paste for the birds

Pallavi was my partner in this swap & I hope she liked them.

A Bright Card

Another card from me today , I have attempted to add lots of layers here.

The base of the card is a black CS overlaid with DP (DCWV mattstack - pretty poisies). Heat embossed the flowers with clear embossing powder, distressed over it with spiced marmalade & stamped the text. 

Layered the bottom with torn embossed paper, the edge is again distressed. Added washi tape & red florist mat (picked this at a florist.............that's what they call it). Also used raffia to highlight the washi tape

The little birdie, a love charm  & some rub ons completed the card. Also added some glossy accents over the EP to render a shine. I really liked the BG & though bright the colors feel fresh. 

Take a look at the details

A Birthday Card

Hello peeps, how are you all doing??

It was my younger daughter's birthday yesterday & here's the card I made for her. 

To begin with I had a very elaborate design in mind, but with her around all the time due to her summer break this is what I ended up making. You can find the tutorial for this card on the SCORPAL blog. 

This is the card..............with pockets to hold tags.

I really loved the distressing on the embossed tags.
