Hello and Happy New Year. May God bless you with a healthy, happy New Year filled with His peace. My first post of the year. Thanks for the applause :) I’d embossed some white Fabriano card stocks with gorgeous Sizzix folders and left them on my messy table for inspiration. And this is what I came up with. I love the strip of Scalloped border from Sizzix – Border and Hydrangeas . These work so well with Scrapbook layouts as well as cards. Don’t you think? I’m stamping a sentiment directly on the Patterned Paper – it took away the stress of adding another strip of paper. NOTE: If you want to emboss – always stamp and then emboss :) Once I photographed this, I wanted to see what a bit more of green can do to this and this is where I arrived at Though the green strip adds a bit more colour, I think right now I prefer the first version.

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
