Challenge #19- Word play !!

Hi guys ! Its Pooja here, I am back with another lovely challenge for you all to play in. 
But before I do I want to thank you all for welcoming me with open arms ! 
I did enjoy so many of your beautiful entries for the load it up challenge.

Before we head up to our new and fresh challenge i wanted to quickly remind you that the voting process for Lulupu World Card Making Contest 2013 is now on! Its time to get friends family and just about anyone to start voting for you and make you win the Rs.500 voucher! Remember voting ends on 20th October 2013

So this time we have a new and fresh theme and it is to take a break from some loading it up ;) - 

Lulupu Challenge#19
WORD PLAY !

Challenge #19 - Qualification Guidelines 
{General Guidelines - here}
1. Create a CAS card  
  • CAS means Clean and Simple, uncluttered with lots of white space.
  • The card must have one clear focal point
  • Feel free to choose colours, patterns and style and go abstract, fun, elegant or even vintage
  • Minimum but smart embellishments with even few well placed layers are a good idea
2. Play with words in your sentiments.

E.g. 1. Stamp a light bulb or use a lamp die cut - Sentiment goes: "You Brighten My Life"
E.g. 2. Stamp an Ice-cream - Sentiment goes: "You make my heart melt."

Please feel free to use these examples but we would love to see your own versions.

3. We are allowing only Cards for this challenge.

4. Please note that the sentiment and the image or scene on the CAS card should match properly and the word play should be clearly understandable. 

5. The Inlinkz for this challenge will close on October 31, 2013 at 11:55 PM IST.

Loaded with Gardenias!! + A Tutorial..

Hello!!!

This is Varshitha here.. Hope you all had a great weekend.. Mine was fantastic! I am super excited about the current Lulupu Challenge - #17, Load it Up!!! I love to load up my cards with lots of layers and flowers and still make them CAS cards too.. :P

When coming to floral projects I love handmade flowers and my love for handmade flowers was by seeing Rajni ji's and Erum's work. I am always stunned seeing their work. :) Seeing this inspiring world of crafting I decided to make these awesome Gardenis.I am so very excited to show them here... Being a lazy crafter its one of the easy way to make flowers, instead of pinching and molding each petal, these beauties can be done very easily.. Yes I'm showing you a small tutorial on how to make these Gardenias...

Now about my card ..... I have made a typical floral card. A Floral card is what I always prefer for loved ones, making my own flowers and gifting it as a card gives soo much happiness to me.

Here it is..

Winners of Challenge #17 - Fancy Me!

Good morning ladies!!!

We're here to announce the winners of last fortnight's challenge and as always, I have a few pearls of wisdom to share on behalf of the Design Team before the big reveal. We mention this time and again, but I guess, it's still not said enough, so I'll say it again. It's really important to read the rules of our challenges. As we don't want the challenge post to seem like a rule book, we've accumulated the list of rules and added it to this page HERE (link is also provided in EVERY challenge announcement post AND on the right sidebar of the blog) and these rules are applicable on ALL challenges, in addition to the challenge specific rules; which means you have to link a new entry to our challenges (made and posted on your blog AFTER our challenge was announced,) enter your project to a MAXIMUM of five challenges including ours, etc. And when a gorgeous entry doesn't follow these rules, it breaks our heart to tell them that we cannot accept their entry. :(

So please, it a request that you go through these rules before you make/link your project to our challenges. We hope you understand our predicament.

Phew, now that that's off my chest, let me get started with some fantastic projects that are getting a special mention from our lovely design team.. And here they are, in no particular order...

Lulupu Challenge #18 - Load it Up & Some News!

Heylo People!

Welcome to a brand new challenge at the Lulupu Blog! It's already the last quarter of the year, time really flies!

This fortnight we have a very interesting challenge for you :) But before that we have some updates.

Our dear DT Member Ruthie Lopez is bidding us goodbye, and we are so gonna miss her. Ruthie is a wonderful person and has been amazing during the last few months here with us. We enjoyed her beautiful creations for our monthly/fortnightly challenges all along and we hope you did too. I take this opportunity to wish her well on behalf of the entire team. But just because she won't be posting with us anymore doesn't mean it's a complete bye-bye. You can still see her wonderful work at her blog - My Hobby = My Art.

And with some Goodbyes we have some Hellos too! A big hoot hoot for our new DT Member Pooja Khupse who most of you know through her blog - Lightbox Creative Ideas and her Challenge blog - Beyond Grey Challenges. Let's get to know her a bit more what say?

Over to Pooja... :)
