The next page from the scrapbook is one of my favourites for numerous reasons. This page has pictures from the couple's wedding and reception. The colours in the pictures were so amazing that this blue-green mixed media paper was the best thing that would go along with it. Also, I tried something new with this, so all of those things make this page really special.

Let's start with the glimpses. :)

The page had a lot of white polka dots, so I stamped large hearts in Barn Door Distress Ink  and stitched through the center. It was a slight word play on the page title "Hearts Knit Together."

I couldn't knit, so I stitched. :)

I also stamped little hearts in Memento's Lady Bug. :)

BGC #36 - Hello, My Fruity Friend!!

Alright, I didn't mean "fruity"when I wrote the title. You'll know what I mean when you see the card.

You probably are aware that I design for a Challenge Blog called Beyond Grey Challenges that hosts two challenges every month - one on the 1st (that runs till the 15th) and another on the 16th (that runs till the end of the month.) The first challenge for August - Challenge #36 set the following rules...

Make a window card with single or multiple windows. It has to be inspired by your favourite fruit (colour, shape or both) and the word 'friend' or 'friendship'should be included somewhere in the card.

So here's what I did.

Even though my favourite fruit is Mango, I thought of taking my inspiration in an Apple (I love Apple Inc. :P) So I made a circular card that looked like an apple (though my husband said it resembled a pomegranate. That's a fruit too, so technically, apart from the misrepresentation of the name of the fruit, I wasn't breaking any challenge rules.) I used the largest circular die, scored and folded the CardStock and then cut a circle out leaving the folded part out.

I cut out a circle (a window) in the centre and stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card. Obviously, it had the word 'friend' in it.

Happy Anniversary (Sort of) Vintage Card..

I wanted to make an Anniversary Card for my friend's parents' 25th Anniversary, but I was short on time. So I decided to make something quick, but still something that stood out. So I decided to go kind of Vintage. Actually, that was brought on when I saw the papers in the Lost & Found Two 6x6 pad by My Mind's Eye I decided to go Vintage. Now I know this card is not 'exactly' vintage, but this is the closest I've got so far. :P

I'll give you sneak peeks before I share the picture of the card. ;)
