There is a small package heading your way :)&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">This card below has the gorgeous double bow I made using Bow Easy.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6895571387/" title="Warm wishes card by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="Warm wishes card" height="507" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7037/6895571387_eefac4fa49_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Normally it is hard to get this sort of bow this beautiful.

They use colour blocking in creative way. This layout comes when they announce the next program or schedule for the evening. I did modify it. I love love the animation and the bright and bold colours of blue and yellow with black. I haven't worked out how to incorporate the animation into the card. Maybe an interactive card is the way to go but for now, inspired by TV, I made a birthday card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6906746481/" title="Colour Blocking by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="Colour Blocking" height="505" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7060/6906746481_e5eced33b6_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I told you, it is bright and bold.

I wanted to make 10 cards lol! But due to time constraints, I decided to go with just the colours.<br />Talking about time, this card took me about two hours to make. I had to sketch, calculate the dimensions for each piece, cut and the blades of my trimmer is blunt at the moment. So I had to sand the edges of all the pieces including the black strips and then glue Sigh! You can see there are some frayed edges I have missed :( Cannot wait for my package with the trimmer blade to arrive.<br /><br /><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Supplies:</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Cardstocks: Stamper's Select White, Orange Zest, Raspberry Fizz, Pure Poppy, Harvest Delight, Simply Chartreuse, Royal Velvet from PTI and Concord Crush and Basic Black from SU.</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Stamp set: Made with Love from Hero Arts</i></span></div><br />Thanks for stopping by!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/5D81062D4205B142B7A6625E2D560D59.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div><a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscrapawayg3.blogspot.com&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fpinterest.com">Pin It</a><script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8455138261895410788-5595988752123596159?l=scrapawayg3.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gayatrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05107375082027928418noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455138261895410788.post-16662038116056947672012-02-18T17:58:00.001+08:002012-02-18T17:58:28.665+08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello everybody,</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;How is weekend treating you? I had a great Saturday. Relaxed, washings done, cleaned and set up the guest room for my in-laws who are arriving next week, and finally cleaned and organised the study and craft table. A cleaned craft table is always inviting and I could not resist. So I made a few projects.

This morning, I received my cardstock package sent by the gorgeous Chris from PTI forum. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Chris for help me out sending the cardstocks. Now, along with the cardstocks she sent me some stamped diecuts of Simply Jane set from PTI. I don't have this set as I only love the silhouettes and frame of the set. So when I saw the diescuts, I was excited. So sweet of you Chris. Thank you :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to use them and make an interactive card which is <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/01/5th-anniversary-day-10-movers-shakers-group-post.html">day 10 PTI anniversary festivities contest.</a> I participated in the first two days and then went away for the next three days and then lost my motivation to stamp.

He has grown so much. He is very naughty, chewing up shoes when nobody is looking. We have lost two leather formal shoes, couple of branded sneakers and one of my leather sandals lol! Loves sprinklers. Has the most fun running from one sprinkler to another on the lawn and getting wet.Ice cubes are his favourite especially on a hot day. Follows me around the house and sits under my craft table when I craft. He chews up any little piece of paper thats falls from my table. Instant vaccum cleaner :) I am so careful about tiny stamps, inkpads and embellishments falling on the floor. I have to be super quick and get to it before him lol! The most aniticipated thing for him is his walk with his Daddy. He has so much personality and such a pleasure to have him at home.

There are so many challenges, tutorials, guest designer articles and videos. I spent one night until 1.00AM viewing all the videos from the blog. Couldn't stop viewing until my eyelids refused to open lol!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I loved all of them but this <a href="http://www.lilypad.inlinkz.com/2011/08/07/how-to-video-life-is-a-carnival/">video by Vicky </a>stood out for me. Two things about the video made me want to try a card of my own. First is blending distress inks. I have been having distress inks for like donkey years and not being using them other than distressing the edges. Secondly, the stamp set from Craft Meows called <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/products/life-is-a-carnival-stamp-set">Life is a Carnival</a>. I love this set but have not used it so much. So I pulled this set out, my distress inks and the sponging tool and made this card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6799827599/" title="Enjoy the ride card by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="Enjoy the ride card" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6799827599_65a47f6d94_z.jpg" width="591" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the pop of colours from blending distress inks. Inspite of distressing, blending inks, the card is still clean and simple. Thats what I wanted to achieve. So happy with the result. Thanks Vicky:)&nbsp; I will use distress inks more often from now on.</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Supplies:</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Cardstock: Kraft and Vintage Cream from Papertrey Ink</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Stamp set: Life is a Carnival from Craft Meows</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Inks: Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Broken China and Aged Mahogany Distressed Inks and Stazon Black Ink</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Accessories: Tim Holtz's sponging tool</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you like to read my previous post for today then click<a href="http://scrapawayg3.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/pattern-paper-challenge.html"> here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/5D81062D4205B142B7A6625E2D560D59.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div><a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscrapawayg3.blogspot.com&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fpinterest.com">Pin It</a><script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8455138261895410788-227726561744902697?l=scrapawayg3.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gayatrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05107375082027928418noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455138261895410788.post-63010181609933058192012-02-01T14:26:00.000+08:002012-02-01T18:51:25.963+08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a pattern paper hoarder.

Don't know how the association between rainbows and dragons came about but I dreamt of them together.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last night on the News they were talking about chinese new year celebrations and the next lunar year is year of dragons. Then my DD was thrilled because she is into dragons at the moment. She completed all of&nbsp; Chris D Lacey's Dragon Chronicles series and now into Aerogon by Christopher Paolini.She also makes dragons using clay at home. So her room is full of dragons. I wouldn't want to sleep in her room. I will definitely get frightened at night if I wake up to see dragons everywhere lol! That is where the dragons came from.</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">But how rainbows came into the dream! I don't know. Don't remember the full dream vivdly but this one thing.&nbsp; I remember about the butterflies flying around and when they flew on the rainbow they changed their colours into rainbow colours. Totally camourflaged.

I spent some time this morning when everybody was sleeping in to cut out some flowers from a packaging. Some beautiful smelling body butter and body wash came inside this package. I should confess, I bought it because I liked the gorgeous packaging. I don't know about you but I do it all the time :) Anyway, here is the card I made using the cutouts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6699049383/" title="You are simply fabulous card by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="You are simply fabulous card" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7017/6699049383_dcb3c7e57d_z.jpg" width="604" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love Maile's style of adding a piece of colour cardstock to one side of the card front. I decided to give it a go, then adhered the first cutout with glue and adhered the second cutout using foam for the raised effect. Sentiment is from Wonderful Words Additions and the stamp set does not have a "You" stamp but has "Yours". Having just this one sentiment set with me, I had to improvise. Used a piece of paper on the rightside when stamping "yours" so I get only "you" on the cardfront and "rs" on the piece of paper.I love the purple and green combination and lots of white space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Supplies:</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Cardstock: Stamper's Select White and Simply Chartreuse from Papertrey Ink</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Stamp set: Wonderful Words Additions from Papertrey Ink</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Accessories: Body butter and bosy wash packaging and scissors</i></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am entering this card for <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/01/cool-tools-week-cutting-trimming.html">Moxie Fab Cool Tools - Cutting and Trimming Challenge</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My last day on the holiday.

Loved them all and wanted to participate. I&nbsp; wondered how to make a card with what I have and enter a challenge? Embossing and debossing challenge caught my eye.

So I did not layer the dies. Infact I have a box for spare dies. I pulled this doily die from the box and used it on my card. I forgot to rub the&nbsp; pillow to remove static before heat embossing the sentiment :( Very exhausted. But I embossed my panel to add texture. Of course, I love bling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Loving the techniques I am learning from the class. I will be away for the next 4 days but I am taking along a few craft stuff.

Dealt with that.</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. Then my son's friend is travelling by himself by train (6 hours journey) to stay with us for 3 days. First trip by himself and he was upset 10 minutes into the journey and wanted to get down! Frantic phone calls by the train crew!!!! Spoke to the boy and settled him. Poor thing he is only 12 years. He looks big and grown up but still kid at heart.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Then Charlie my puppy had to go to creche today to get used to te environment as he has to stay there for 4 days end of this week and he was all stressed out. Poor thing, there were lots of big dogs barking and Charlie is not used to it. Finally got him his blanket, toys and one of my tee shirts. Then he settled.</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp; Now you can see why I said my day is a "concerned mother" day! Just too much to handle in a matter of 4 hours in the morning! Anyway, all is fine now. One more hour till the train arrives. Then I will have three tween boys to look after :) Food is all stocked, games to play, movies to see and trips planned.

I have a stampers block at the moment. It takes soooo long to make a card. Mainly because of too many interuptions. So unhappy with what I made, that I have torn couple of cards. It is shocking to me that I did that. Never have I torn a card. But it was all wrong and I could not salvage it. Finally I liked this card that I want to share.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6618409077/" title="Valentine's day card by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="Valentine's day card" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6618409077_9a7d8ffbdf_z.jpg" width="571" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stamping is all single layer except the heart shape which is foam mounted.

I have to organise myself and make time to craft :)&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, we are going to see Tintin and Adventures tonight. My kids love Tintin comics and have all the books. They read them over and over and know most of them inside out. At times, Captain Haddock's phrases could be heard in their conversations lol!

Lots of fun, laughter and food?&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't celebrate Christmas but sure do enjoyed the festivity during this time. Today being the Boxing Day, there is a lot of sales going around the country except in my town. All shops are closed until tomorrow. Weird isn't it? But true. The town is deserted and nothing to do. Sad! Since it is a holiday, I expect people will get out wanting to shop and so the shops will be opened. But every shop in the town is shut. Not even Woolies and Coles!!!! I am disappointed :( I will be in the city next year this time. So something to look forward next Christmas and Boxing day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I wanted to share a frame I made for Valentine's day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63491374@N04/6557099127/" title="Valentine's day  frame by Gayatri Murali, on Flickr"><img alt="Valentine's day  frame" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6557099127_20204b200d_z.jpg" width="588" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Very easy to make.

My hubby brought home his secret santa present inside an organza bag, which I decided to cut circles of different sizes, then burnt sealed the edges and then layered them. I made the center of the flower using pearls and rhinestones. This also adds to the texture.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Clear to See stamp set.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is my first time participating in lawnscaping challenge.

A lot of movies, drives, swimming, library and household sorting and cleaning on the chart. Oh, I did not forget crafting. And crafting always comes first, rest later.lol!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I did make couple of cards using ColourQ challenge #115.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l023fIMFc8M/TurJzfY9MeI/AAAAAAAAPVg/g9_bSMLiGuw/s1600/cqc115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l023fIMFc8M/TurJzfY9MeI/AAAAAAAAPVg/g9_bSMLiGuw/s1600/cqc115.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Love the bright colours in the challenge. But I did struggle a bit using them, to be honest!&nbsp; Then I received my order from Simon Says store. When new goodies come, I get all thrilled and movtivated looking at them. So I opened the Sizzix/Hero Arts stamp and die set and made this card below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZT7vBM9zcSI/TurKH04RNjI/AAAAAAAAPVw/iv5awpFggqE/s1600/P1010007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZT7vBM9zcSI/TurKH04RNjI/AAAAAAAAPVw/iv5awpFggqE/s640/P1010007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;Love the stamp set and die from Hero Arts/Sizzix because I can stamp first and then diecut the stamped images. So easy and so much better than lining up the stamp on the tiny diecuts to stamp.Isn't the butterfly image beautiful? Love it.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Next card, I made using my old Rose is a Rose stamp set from SU. I love this set because of its two step stamping. That means the rose can be made using so many diffeent colour combinations. I have a few dearly loved SU stamp sets and this set is one of them. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8ps3SqW31I/TurKP9xKFvI/AAAAAAAAPV4/nvfctJe5r2c/s1600/P1010010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="502" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8ps3SqW31I/TurKP9xKFvI/AAAAAAAAPV4/nvfctJe5r2c/s640/P1010010.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I created an entire pattern paper using these stamps and it looked gorgeous. The sentiment stamp set and impression plate used on the red panel is from papertrey Ink. So is the cardstocks except the Green Galore strip. The pearls are from Kaisercraft.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love both the cards for its vibrant colours. Hope you do too. If you like to play along then, here is the <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.com/2011/12/colourq-challenge-115.html">link to the challenge</a>.

Aren't they bright and cheerful? Love that snow man image. But there is a twist to this challenge- <b>Make anything but a card :) </b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nps1Wi6Ei3k/TuIEW6GYwcI/AAAAAAAAPQk/iOgZnva_z-w/s1600/cqc114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nps1Wi6Ei3k/TuIEW6GYwcI/AAAAAAAAPQk/iOgZnva_z-w/s1600/cqc114.jpg" /></a></div><br />&nbsp;While I read the twist, I completely forgot about it when crafting and created a card but then my brain remembered! Aha! the twist-no card lol! So I made a tag to match the card. Here is the tag first.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oIDjKetqf20/TuH1LxFMNEI/AAAAAAAAPP8/9rtyD-mYLj0/s1600/IMGP1966.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="626" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oIDjKetqf20/TuH1LxFMNEI/AAAAAAAAPP8/9rtyD-mYLj0/s640/IMGP1966.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>&nbsp; <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzaEuzacqew/TuH1R5ruDlI/AAAAAAAAPQE/bOn74ywg7JA/s1600/IMGP1967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzaEuzacqew/TuH1R5ruDlI/AAAAAAAAPQE/bOn74ywg7JA/s640/IMGP1967.JPG" width="424" /></a></div><br />&nbsp; I used Papertrey Ink's Everyday Button Bits and Boy Basics-Out of this World stamp sets to create the tag and the card. The dies are also from Papertrey Ink. I chose to use the neutrals as the base colours and the red, blue and green colors from the colour palatte for the hot air balloon :) The ribbon is from SU. Here is both the card and the tag as a set.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kuHyFcDYpeI/TuH1sG67POI/AAAAAAAAPQc/pWQZ_rHpSMo/s1600/IMGP1975.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="550" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kuHyFcDYpeI/TuH1sG67POI/AAAAAAAAPQc/pWQZ_rHpSMo/s640/IMGP1975.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the 3D hot air balloon and how the colours pop out of the kraft background.<br /><br />If you like to play along this challenge then here is the link to the<a href="http://colourq.blogspot.com/2011/12/colourq-challenge-114.html"> challenge - #114</a>.<br /><br />I would like to thank ColourQ team who picked my <a href="http://scrapawayg3.blogspot.com/2011/12/colourq-113.html">snowflakes card</a> as one of the<a href="http://colourq.blogspot.com/2011/12/colourq-challenge-113-winners-crowned.html"> Courtier</a> in Challenge #113 :)<br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog:)<br />Have a great weekend! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="goog_1797902389"></span><span id="goog_1797902390"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Luv!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/5D81062D4205B142B7A6625E2D560D59.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div><a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscrapawayg3.blogspot.com&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fpinterest.com">Pin It</a><script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8455138261895410788-2490079956578721640?l=scrapawayg3.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gayatrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05107375082027928418noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455138261895410788.post-33099955920258783562011-12-08T16:40:00.001+08:002011-12-09T07:24:47.408+08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />There is a new challenge blog call Runaway Inspired Challenge started by Jennifer Razza.

Sent him off at the railway station and came back home and it felt weird and silent. All three of us were quiet. We miss him already and I don't know, it is going to be 7 slow days for me. This is his first time away from home too. I am sure he is going to have fun :) It is just me who is going to miss him.
