I’ve been really wanting to use those precious Sizzix dies.. especially those lovely borders and butterflies and cute alphabets. When my friend wanted a scrapbook to gift to her friend, I decided to make a Family album… and do justice the gorgeous dies I got. Here is the front page. With a ton of those lovely dies. Everything linked at the end. The text on the stamped house reads “our home”… and the die cut alphabets affirms what we all know.. Our family is a blessing to us. All the dies are Sizzix as linked here… and stamps are from Papertrey ink   Cute as Button Alphabet die Bigz Die - Flower #2 Sizzlits Die Set 3PK - Hello Set Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Filigree Border Bigz Die - Doily, Lace Medallion Sizzlits Die Set 3PK - Card Phrases Set #2 – for those cute butterflies Papers from Dovecraft and DCWV Anything else – do ask :) More pictures to follow in the next few days.

It was teachers day on the 5th September in India. Both my girls go to Maple Bear school in Hulimavu . They are so well taken care of and we are so thankful for them. The stamps are Hero Arts. And the perfect embossing folder from this project is the awesome Sizzix I am so loving this stamp & emboss style. Adds soo much oomph to the projects, no? :) And these book marks for the teachers were a hybrid project. This lovely sentiment I picked from the net was printed on Fabriano card stocks.. and the heart and birdie stamps from Papertrey ink stamped onto the bookmark using memento inks Thanks everyone at Maple Bear :) God bless you And I have a freebie for you. I know teacher’s day is gone by – but it is never late to tell them how much we appreciate them. This PDF printed on an A4 yields 8 bookmarks. Pick it up here . Feel free to use them – and do link back if you do. Cheers Jaya

Scott here is none other than this adorable Dog from Sizzix It was a friend’s son’s first birthday and I wanted a fun card – which he – the 1 yr old :) – might like to see when he grows up. And I’ve been wanting to use this adorable pup forever. So here it is – a cute pup with a bow.. wishing the little boy a Happy Birthday. Bless you T. The Happy Birthday die cut is from this neat – super useful – set called Card Phrases #3

A few months back, my friend A from a local crafters group asked me to make scrapbooks for some students she teaches. That sent me on a tizzy to see how I can help in making one which will truly be useful. It took me a couple of months to get the basics ready, figure out an easy-to-read font, content, and format ready. And this is a result of that work. This is book is good for all children. There are more than 100 individually stamped images which the child colours herself/himself – to make the scrapbook her/his own. Each page has been reviewed over and over again for usefulness. And as usual, I’ve used Fabriano Elle Erre card stock – so the child can write, scribble, colour directly on the paper. These books truly have a piece of me in them. I hope whoever uses them will be enriched. I’ve used dozens of Papertrey Ink stamps – especially the Tiny Treats – Valentine Stamp Set .   Each page had a cheerful Caterpillar – a familiar face which travels with the child p...

Hello! Been ages :) Hope you are doing well and thanks for stopping by :) I’ve started work after my maternity leave and life is.. well.. life is quite interesting :) :) IYKWIM! :) :) In the midst I got to do this scrapbook – an Anniversary one This Papertrey ink stamp is one of my all time favourites – Little Bitty Bird The first page has this super cute couple – makes for a nice back drop isn't it? I’ve used the Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die – Ovals to make those accents to the Photo mats. The journaling lines and hearts are also Papertrey Ink Stamps The Baker’s twine opens to pop up a checklist of “i love u because”. I don’t want to post pics of all the pages here :) and will leave you with this fun last page.   This is a set of tags in a small holder with some fun questions like “Was it love at first sight”.. “Your nicknames for each other”…etc. (Click pic for a bigger view) Loved making this book :) And I think this satisfies the urge of stamping too :) T...

I had fun with this scrapbook. Lot of fun :) Someone wanted me to make her a scrapbook (thanks for the shout-out Juhi) for her little boy – to scrapbook his summer holidays. And I used my Silhouette a great deal :) The clouds backdrop and the Sun from Bird's Cards . Car stickers from itsybitsy . Tree, boys and house done up on Silhouette Studio, printed and cut Paper from itsybitsy too. Label designed and print-cut from Silhouette SD   I cut all the photo panels using Silhouette SD again.. saved so much time. The cover edges punched with an MS punch And the cupcake is my trusted Silhouette again. Did you notice all that stamping?? I loved using my stamps here.. satisfied the stamper in me :) ALL stamps from the brilliant Papertrey Ink .. soo worth the money… (the last page’s stamping was Fiskars.. you can notice the difference in style right? :)))) I did the photo panel layout first and then the embellishments fell in place easily I used Fabriano p...

I love playing with Sizzix products to see how I can use the to suit my style. Here is a CAS card.. not one layered though.. Isn’t this card meaningful? I plan to write this on this inside - “ just a phone call away ” :) This will look super cute with just the phone in Pink and a sentiment saying “Keep in touch” What say? The sentiment at the bottom is from Hero Arts (I think I need that inLinkz’ Manage Links!). And all the die cuts are Sizzix.
