First attempt at an 2S4Y competition

Here's my first attempt at an 2S4Y design.
Didn't want another 'Happy Birthday' card so decided to make something for mom. I love pink and hearts and just put this all together to tell mom how much we kids love her -- will give it to her on my next trip to Dubai.

Here is Laura's sketch 8 (from 2 Sketches 4 You)

And my take on the sketch...

Here's a close-up. I've tried quite a few things on the camera but still can't seem to get the 'exact colors' ... just need to experiment some more and hopefully in due time it should work out!

Mom has a habit to read before going off to sleep and I thought a MOM bookmark included would be the best thing for her. The bookmark is made on an old id card and some basic scrapbooking paper (from K&Company), ribbon and shiny heart stick-on from the local store and is handwritten - I somehow still prefer this than stamping in some cases -- and the fact that right now I have just one bunch of text stamps! :)

My first entry into a competition

I had gone over the Tarisota website over the last few weeks and found their gallery an immense source of inspiration, color combinations I'd never thought about & embellishments galore!

The task this time around is to design a 'Thank You' card, details available here.
Below is my entry into the competition.

Supplies: Paper and paper cardstock butterfly (from K&Company); ribbon and glue on embellishments from the local store, thankyou strips printed at home

The start ...

.. of something Big -- I hope! :)

Been scrapbook/stamp blog jumping these last couple of months and have managed around 20 cards and some random gifts in the process ... will be posting up some of my special ones along the way.

Other than that new cards should be on here as often as possible.
