Altered Notebook

Hello friends.

Want to share with you all an altered notebook I made for a recent swap. You can view another altered book made by me here.

This was a hard bound book which I covered with some coordinating pattern papers. Colored the chipboard cutout with markers & coated with glossy accents. Love the perfect finish the metal corners render to the book.

A handmade bloom with mulberry flowers in the same shade highlights the distressed doily.

This is the back covered with this absolutely fantastic paper designed by Divya of Yelling Yellow.

Double Easel Card

Hiya friends!

I am very late in posting this but better late than never!

This post is about a swap group in our city. We are a group of crafty blogger ladies who meet regularly & discuss techniques, exchange tips over a cup of coffee (and of course masala chai for Rupa!). 

(L to R - Sharada, Anuja, Mary Antonia, me, Rupa, Shilpa)

I hosted the first swap which involved making a double easel card & look at the beauties each one made!

Here is a close of my card & I think I have never used so much of purple is card making earlier!

Will be back tomorrow with details of our second round of swap.
