My 1st Layout!!!

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Today I want to share my very 1st Layout with you all...
I love scrapbook pages...its a great way to capture a moment!!
Always drool over the fabulous layouts that Laurel , Yvonne and lots of amazing crafters create.
Only problem I've is my extremely POOR photography skills...I wish my friend Trish did all the photo part for me...she is great with camera!!! I always think.. for a best layout you need some AWESOME photo's.
So here is my 1st layout with a school pic of my sweet lil' one ...ANISHA...its good to start with a picture taken by a professional!

 Anisha is the sweetest one in our family! She has braces from age of 4 to correct her underbite problem. She is amazing with it...never complains about all discomforts of these braces, always cooperates with the Orthodontists (they love her) .........very happy child!!! She made this painful treatment very easy for all of us!!
I love that SMILE ...so thought of making a layout  about it!!


I'm a cardmaker...usually I don't buy 12" x12" papers ...luckily had a collection pack from Crate papers and I picked the Chevron paper for the background, its  trendy and my favorite pattern now.
To match up the chevron background and make it lil' girly I created Chevron Pattern with 4 shades of pink Bazzill cardstock! I will share the easy tutorial for it soon.

Did lot of stitching on it!!! Used some of the stickers and die cut elements from the same Crate Paper- Random collection.
I really had fun making this...I'll try some more as soon as I find some good pics ;)
Please leave me comments about this layout ...I would like to hear your honest opinion about my 1st scrapbooking attempt.
All the fabulous scrapbookers out there please share some tips about how to take a good photo of the finished layout...I had hard time figuring it out :(

Thank you for stopping by!!

Thank You!!!

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!!!!


Hope you all enjoyed the Mother's day weekend.... I had a good one!
Here is a CAS thank you card inspired by Aga ...May Muse of Case Study.



 Its a hybrid card.... I used Vintage Birdie Brushes  from JessicaSprague.com. I like working with digital brushes as it easy to change its color or use as a overlay. My PSE skills are very poor...really need to work on it!
The woodgrain stamp & sentiment are from Hero Arts.
Just a few pearls( Pizzazz Aplenty) and some May Arts jute twine(Ribbon Carousel)..thats it, easy peasy!!

This card is for the following challenges..

CASE Study- Challenge #90
CAS-ual Fridays: Feathered Friends .


Paper Sundaes : Things with wings.
