I have a 3 year old daughter who is very very active and every weekend we make it a point to take her out :) There isn't much to do here in hyderabad in terms of going out, but a couple of malls have very nice children play areas :) The picture i'm using is one of my favourite ones of all three of us from one of these weekend outings :)

Its a mixed media canvas :) loads of layers and embellishments :) I will be sharing a tutorial soon of the background i created :) 

To create it, I layered the canvas with a coat of gesso and then once dry, used my stencils and modelling paste to give the raised effect. once dry, i coated it with gesso once again and then sprayed away with LINDY'S!!! this product is the bestest!!! i absolutely adore it and love love the colours and shimmers they have!!!

some closeups of the canvas :)

Those buttons are a gift from my husband's 90-year old grandmother who had saved them up to give to someone who loved sewing as much as her! (i guess i came closest with my love of crafting!! :)

My botanical odyssey paper pad was best fitting to this and i have used it almost everywhere on the canvas.

Yes i am very much in love with my mod molds!!! :P ive been using them in almost every project. there are so many designs and also i switch between clay and the glue stick depending on where i want to use them :)

Yes, i do love my sweet husband and my darling lil girl :)

Thats all from me for today! :) We hope you play along :) Ill be back with a tute on creating gorgeous backgrounds with Lindys! :)

Thank you for all the appreciation of my work, it inspires me to create more! :) Leave us some love :)

Make the most of your Double-sided PP

Hi people! As you know for the second part of this month, the design team is focusing on "Maximizing pattern papers". So for my inspiration for today is : Making most of your double sided patterned papers and make your own embellishments with PP.

But before that, I want to let you all know that the winner for the 200 Follower Giveaway will be announced tomorrow. So good luck to all those to played along. :)

Now back to today's post. I made this cute little favor bag with a 6x6 MME Blink of an Eye paper pad. When I was thinking for ideas for making the most of patterned papers, I thought in the reverse order. Which are the products where I would want to have the design show on the inside as well. So I came up with the idea of a favor box. I guess these are one of the best uses of double sided PP, as you not only want the bag to look pretty on the outside, but also want it to have some color and design on the inner side.

Upcycled chocolate box

Hi there
I am sure you are enjoying the challenge and making projects for your dad this entire month.I am back with my second post of the month an upcycled box to hold pictures and tags.In short it has been upcycled to make a shadow box.hope you like my little experiment with the gorgeous papers from Lulupu and a lot of washi and mod podge.All of the above are available at Lulupu.The washi is so versatile and can be used on any medium.I have applied a layer of mod podge on washi covered tin.The tin wasn't closing with paper.and washi is beautiful enough to hide the tin and thin enough to make the lid fit snugly.serves the purpose.
 

The original box about to be transformed

Ok so we start with some beautiful pattern paper from Luupu and some mod podge

The inside of the lid is decorated with some more patterned paper and a picture

So this is how it looks with all the layering

The lid is embellished with some ruffled ribbon

The inside of the box has some more beautiful pattern paer .lace trim and sentiment.Perfect recipe for romance what say

Some tags also go inside the box

Linking it to PPS- Flowers and ribbon

 and also Lessology-For the love of fabric
I have used fabric laces and ruffled ribbon and the tin is recycled/upcycled
I hope I have inspired you to check out the new collection and old at Lulupu and find out for yourself how versatile you can be armed with Lulupu stuff.
