Christmas Tree

It may be too early for making a Christmas tree, but I had this wooden pen holder that was boring and I had to do something with it.  So, I changed it into a Christmas tree. 

First I made a cone shape and then I started layering green paper like adding ruffles to a skirt.  Finally, added some glitter and a star on top to complete the tree.

This used to be a pen holder:

The Story of US

Here's the cover of the mini album that I have been working on and it's The Story of US..  

I have altered the oval frame by adding some white pearls to it.. burnt the edges of golden paper ..used a special heart shaped hanging object that's called 'Latkan' .. I'm not sure but I think that is added on dresses but it's so pretty so I got it for my project.  Recycled a box chipboard to make this cover.

More pics of the complete project..

I have made a shopping bag for the next page of my mini album and I was having so much fun making  the bag that I even made a smaller version just for fun. 

The backside of the shopping bag is glued to the page and the bottom portion opens when the bag is opened.. 

Inside it has a booklet .. 

Boat House

This is a Boat House (Shikara) that I have made as the image had a river in the background.

HO HO HO ! dear Santa is stuck in the chimney and looks like he forgot the gift outside ..

I made a pocket to hold the gift in place, chimney bricks are made with 2 different shades of red, added glitter to show snow on roof top, some hanging decorations from the roof  and added cotton on Santa's pant.  

 The Gift ...

Dresser

This is a dresser, another one of my own made template.  To hold it down to the page I have added a gold color clip on top.  Made a pocket behind it to add the photo mat.

For My Special Friend

This card I have made for my special friend Manju .. also as a guest DT for Crafty JC Challenge.  The challenge is to make a card for a special lady (could be anyone whom you admire) to celebrate Mother's day.  I used Sarah Kay image and colored it using mixed media technique so you could see markers, pencil colors and glitter paint used in the image.  I have also added my handmade flower to it. 

My handmade flower...

We all are lucky to have special friend to share worries, make plans and discuss girly stuff.  I hope my friend and you like it too. 

Roses With Love

Here is a card that is made using Rose Stencil from Faber Castell..  

First I traced the design on white paper then used watercolors to paint the roses.  I was feeling like making something different today.  Then I found this interesting challenge on Pie lane, luckily there were some hours left for the challenge to close.  

Flip Flop

Christmas Tree

This is a Christmas tree layout .. a snow covered and decorated Christmas tree, all shinny and glittery .. 

 This is how the tree looks without the tag..

 The upper layer of the tree slides and underneath is a simple tree which is perfect space for journal.

Other side of the tag..

Snow Globe

Here is a Snow Globe, I wanted to make something that goes well with snowman in the photo so I made Snow Globe.  I tried to make the photo a part of the Snow Globe.  Glitter is in between two clear sheets so it is quite fun to shake it and see the snow (glitter) fall.. 

Tag can be easily pulled out using the ribbon..

Other side of the tag..

Gazebo

 I so much wanted to make Gazebo and I finally did that.  Decorated the Gazebo with loads of flowers & glitter..

Inside it has space for journal .. the tags comes out from behind ..
