Vintage mini album

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing great! May month is about to over and we are getting ready for a new academic year! I pray and wish all the mommies out there "All the very best"! for you and your kiddos :)

Now onto my special creation, that I had left you curious with :)

Seeing my mini album, my sister wanted one, and I promised her, I will make one for her birthday. And here it is :

This time I used DCWV CIAO BELLA papers for this entire album. I completely loved how it turned out! Hope you will like it too :).
For the cover I've used the "Happiness" label within the pp itself. I fussy cut it and have added lots of flowers, pearls and adhesive stone border. The pink roses are from itsy bitsy, The yellow ones are paper pierced and the rest are punched out from the same pp.
Here are the  pages:

The square inked with distress ink is for the photo to be placed.

I think the pages are self explanatory :) I've used laces, pearls, washi tape, flowers and adhesive heart stickers for embellishment.

Those of you, who visit my blog regularly, would've seen that bird on the last page. Yes, it was from one of these pp.

Hope you enjoyed today's visit:)Thank you all so much  for the sweet comments :).

A Shabby, Sweet Valentine card :)

Hello friends,

Inspired by the sketch at The Shabby Tea Room blog, I created this card,also having in mind, the "BGC sweet tooth challenge".

Recently I found myself making vintage type cards with a real interest :).

So, this what I came up with.

Starting with a red card stock as base,created the background patterned paper on top of it, by distressing white card stock with tattered rose distress ink and used my own stencil for those flowers.
The white rectangle box is a die cut inside of which contains an embossed bg (textured impressions-country foliage). And it also contains another die cut which holds the quilled cupcake and the sentiment.
The pearls, laces, a vintage flower and a  bow from organza ribbon are added for a shabby look.
Hope it has turned out well!!.


I really miss my  visit  to your sweet blogs!! Trying to catch up soon :).
Thank you SO MUCH for your sweet visit today and for sharing your lovely comments.

Vintage Birthday Card

Hello friends,

Happy to meet you all once again. I'm so happy for you all, who stop by my blog , read and share your comment every time. I'm so privileged to share your friendship. Thank you for following my blog and making my followers no 50. :-).

In this post, I'm sharing with you a Vintage Birthday card. I love vintage types :). Even visiting museums and heritage sites and collecting info about the past (history)is on my "interests" list. I also love ceramics(tea cups) and clothes(with laces) of vintage types. I think I'm sharing this for the first time :). Please do share if you too have similar interests.

I didn't make a vintage type creation before, since I thought, if I make, it should be  a proper one and was so hesitant to start. 

So this time, I loved making this card and sharing it with you. I cannot say, I achieved the best but was so happy to have started.

Here's my card:

I started with a cream card stock and layered a red on top of it and then the pattern paper. I've also used the red oval die cut from itsy bitsy and distressed the center die cut with frayed burlap-distress ink. The sentiment is stamped with momento ink-rich coco. The small roses are ready made and the leaves are hand cut and distressed.

The lace flower is hand made(my first attempt).

Hope you like my card and please do share your thoughts on it.  Thanks for your visit today and your valuable comments.
