Guest Designer for December - Lavina Agarwal

Good Morning friends,

How are you all doing? We at Lulupu are sure having fun creating all these wonderful scrapbook layouts to inspire you guys to make some of your own..

Its time to introduce to you one of our Guest designers of the month. We want you to meet the lovely and super talented Lavina from http://lav-art-craft-food.blogspot.com/. She is here to share with us her take on this month's Challenge. 

We thank Lavina for taking time out and creating this fabulous layout to give some inspiration to all you lovely people out there! We hope this motivates you enough to join our scrap-booking challenge this month :)

"A very warm hello to all my crafty friends out there. I am Lavina from Mumbai right now staying in Melbourne. I just love to craft, mainly quilling on cards and photo frames. Scrapbooking however is in my genes! My dad loved to make picture books, which me and my brother would very fondly browse through. I just love to make the baby book which I am currently working on, hope someday my daughter will cherish it! 

I am so excited to be the guest DT for Lulupu! Thanks dear Karuna and team for giving me the chance.



I Love Diwali with all the colors and festivities involved, hence Oct-Nov are my favorite month.  Made this layout to treasure the memories of my daughters first diwali. In this Layout, I have used all handmade embellishments except the alphas. 

I masked and misted the background using my punched flowers to give it an effect of sanskar bharti rangoli.

The green flowery frame around the photo is hand cut from double sided pattern paper.

The alphabets are from my scrapbook kit. For the alphabet 'I', made some diwali crackers by making paper logs. 

I had seen these logs in many layouts, got the inspiration to use them as cracker from a quilling/crafting stalwart Suganthi, loved the idea. 

The lamp and the bunting is made using paper piecing technique.I stuck the bunting on the fold, to give it some dimension. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!"

Thank you Lavina for inspiring us all with this special post!
