Here is Anita with her decoupage card

"Here I am wrapped in my woolens making a Decoupage card for Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr , I have been asked to participate and provide inspiration this time .

The theme is just perfect , for me winter means a cup of steaming tea/coffee , enjoying the sunshine and of course Christmas !

I am a PG in English Literature, B.Ed deeply interested in arts and crafts. After a very long hiatus I have revived my interests and have befriended the internet to learn several new hobbies . My blogs showcase my work and also fulfill my need for writing . Creativity has no age bar thankfully and I am loving it !!


Decoupage sheets are available in the market and one can make beautiful personalized cards with a little effort. Sending handmade cards is a beautiful way of conveying warmth and love , it’s a time well spent indeed."

Challenge 5: Suganthi's Inspiration

For our next inspiration - we have Suganthi Mohan.

The card and her - in her words :) Thanks Suganthi for this lovely lovely inspiration, You rock! :)

" Almost an year ago I chanced upon a tutorial for a quilled snowflake and have been hooked to quilling ever since. Making quilled cards is what I do in my spare time.

I am a stay at home mom of two teenage boys. I studied to be a computer engineer but when I stayed at home I found my aptitude for painting and crafting.

I have been blogging for almost an year now and I have learnt a lot along the way. I am glad to be part of this theme which got me to quill a Christmas tree(I wanted to but needed some inspiration). "

Thats one stunning card!!! Please leave some love to Suganthi

Looking forward to your entries to the challenge Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Cheers,
Jaya

Challenge 5: Mallika's Inspiration

If you were wondering about the lack of inspirations in the challenge here it is - showcasing each of the winners from the past 2 challenges to provide an inspiration - one inspiration a day

And here I present Maillika  to you. About the card and and about her - in her own words :)

"Now  a little description about my card -

I practically made this card at 4 in the morning . Well this is my first ever try for Christmas card .I have quilled the Christmas tree,used mosaic squares for the small squares .

The patterned paper is internet download and all the edges are distressed by using simple stamp pad . I have used some colored pearls .I  love this festival and every Christmas I love gifting goodies  to my friends ! Yes ! yes ! i will be posting a candy soon on my blog .Do take part . 
Happy Crafting !!

Hi Girls !
I am Mallika ..an  Engineering  Under Grad  who has least interest in any part of this  engineering .It is my passion and love for art and crafts  which has bought me all the way to BlogLand !  

All the time I am free I love to craft .It  was like in Sept 2010 when I entered this card making world . My cards are bright , fun , whimsy and full of fine details throughout .I trust people because there is good in all of us and it takes a lot for someone to loose that trust . I appreciate  smaller things in my life which earlier I use to take for granted . I believe in believing myself . My life has never been a fairy tale but whats the harm if I believe that one day it will be a fairy tale. Besides crafting I just loved getting myself photographed. Yes ! I get dramatic at times . I sing ( pathetic ) , I dance ( sheila ki jawani ) , I laugh , I cry on small things . My life has always been a roller coaster ride with loads of ups and downs. I was sent to boarding school ( Scindia ) when I was mere 12 .Till then I have always stayed in hostels ( they can be scary at night ) , which simply implies I HAVE LOADS OF FRIENDS AND I LOVE THEM A LOT .6 months back I was suffering from an addiction called Facebook and now I am suffering from Card Making addiction which is doing some good and gives me personal satisfaction .
My blog Address - http://missnotsogoodwithwords.blogspot.com/

Thanks  for stopping by !"

Isn't that card soo beautiful!! Loved it! Now, off you go and please leave some love to Mallika :)

And do join in the Brrrrrrrrrrrrr fun. And play to win some very nice goodies :)

Love,
Jaya

CraftyJC Challenge 4 – DT's Choice: Indian Ethnic

Heloo girls :)

If you are sad Diwali has passed by, here is something to cheer you up! Our lovely DTs for this challenge are bringing you lovely Diwali wishes to you :) again :)  Hope your Diwali was wonderful and here is to a wonderful year ahead

This theme challenge was by the winner for the 2nd challenge winner:  Kavitha.

A few months back a lovely lady called Suzana Napret sent me a lovely set of diecuts & stamped imaged to be given as a prize to a winner here. I've been hoarding it for Diwali. Thanks Suazana :)

And Sazana also has sent an awesome inspiration for us this month

Suzana

I love what Suzana has created here, The wonderful stitching and the Diya shape - how original! 

Thanks Suzana for sponsoring this gift. You have a a large heart :)

Kavitha

Hi all, kavitha here.I am a freelance artist,love to do all kind of art works,and my wish is learn almost all the crafts in this world.I know i am to greedy,as there are thousands of art works are there in this world,but i am trying my best to learn more.So my only aim to  keep on learning new some thing,and internet and blogs are the best inspiration to learn new things.I am blessed to have my hobby as profession,i love my colorful job:)))

It's been 11/4 years of blogging now,and its been a wonderful experience so far.Got lots of friends,and loads of ideas,...my latest craze is paper crafts,i am totally in love with making cards and scrap books.

I am really honoured   to be the part of Crafty JC challenge#4,,hats off to jaya who make this blog so wonderful and connects of all our Indian crafters together,.:)

Juhi

Hi I'm Juhi...I am an electronics engineer who works with a semiconductor company at Bangalore. I discovered cardmaking almost two years ago and it has become almost an obsession now. 

I love working with bright colors. My color inspiration comes from the rich textures and colors of Indian handmade paper. Since very few scrapbooking/cardmaking products are available in India I try to make the most of locally available materials which is intimidating at times but huge fun most of the times as it helps me think out of the box. I like to combine different styles and techniques in my work, and don't usually stick to any particular style/technique for long.

I'd like to thank Jaya for giving me this opportunity to be a guest DT member this month. I hope you like my ethnic Indian card, which draws inspiration from the traditional Indian paisley pattern. I have used a stamped paisley border at the bottom to create a saree border effect. 

Dolly

Hello gals, this is Dolly here.. Also known as Kishley, the name i just adore. I have blogged with that name since last 5 years, my real name came out only when people from blog world started pouring over in my offline world too. I dont mind that though :)

My love for things made with paper started very early, probably in school days. From paintings to figurines to sketching, I loved doing everything. I have created a lot of wonderful things even when there was no free access to internet or to craft supllies store. I am not too modest you see.. 

Paper crafting today has a totally different meaning now, there is so much available and so much 'inspirations' floating around. In this plethora of ideas, I'm still trying to figure out my style of working. I still love to do anything and everything when i sit down to make something. I have made elaborate cards, simple cards, bling cards, stamped cards, sketched card.. ok i hope you get the idea.. But i do know that its difficult for me to make something for a challenge. I somehow cannot make my mind to think of something in boundaries, I usually start by taking out random things and start making anything with them.. 

The card i made for this challenge has been made from old wedding invites, I have used 4 different invites to make this card, and took about 2 hours.

 Thanks Jaya for letting me on your DT team for this month. Kepp up the good work!"

Stunning Cards isn't it??? Now off you jump in and post your cards :) The last day is 30 November. Slightly extended due to the delay.

PS: Absolutely sorry for the delay in this post. I was sooo looking forward to challenge specifically. Still no internet. 

New challenge Delay :(

Hi yall

We've moved to Bangalore a week back. My little girl is happy in her new daycare and play group. Thank God for that.

With all this moving, I've not been able to put up the new challenge. I am very very sorry about that. I am not sure if the DT has posted it. I'll put that up very soon.

Thank you so much for your support.
Bangalore girls - can you please send me a comment?? I'd love to call and catch up :)

Cheers,
Jaya

CraftyJC Challenge 3 – Be Inspired

Hello girls! Hope the past month has been creative and fun. Good to be back after a month! :) 

Thanks a lot for participating in last month’s challenge – Yummy Recipe. What actually was yummy is all your wonderful YUMMYlicious entries! I am blown yet again. Winners in a couple of days

Our new challenge for September – Be Inspired! We all are inspired by soo much that goes around us! Other craft blogs or what we see around us.

Our lovely DT Ash, Tejal & Sudha have made some mind blowing stuff based on an inspiration of their choice.

Now, your challenge is to pick up any of the DT’s choice of inspiration for your challenge entry. Believe me.. there is such gorgeous inspiration here. Something for everybody.

Please join us in welcoming Karen’s Doodles as our sponsor this week. Karen has kindly offered our DT as well with an image of their choice.

Karen’s images span a variety of themes and all spectacularly designed. Go have a look at the website to drool! :) They beg to be be coloured. I soo plan to indulge in some for Christmas.

The prize is THREE images of your choice!  How wonderful is that!

Please welcome our super creative DT for this month  Ash, Sudha and Tejal. And here is their Oh Soo YUMM creations! Be inspired! I sure am.

Tejal Shah

Tejal’s inspiration is from this card by Michele’ chelemom

  

And here are TWO – yes u heard that right – TWO fantastic takes on this inspiration

This AWESOME image is from Karen’s Doodles the Penguin Cupcake. Isn’t this image gorgeous!!  Too bad the other DT members couldn’t use a Karen’s Doodles image due to lack of time :(

 

 

  “ Tejal here...I'm a physiotherapist turned card-maker. I've been crafting since as long as I can remember. My first step into this world of card making/rubber stamping
came when I first stepped into hobby ideas and picked up my first rubber stamp set. Not knowing how to use it, I turned to the internet. And what a world it has opened up for me. I still remember the first blog that swept me off my feet was Maria Bell's. Since that day I've been hooked. And every day, I learn something new.

It has been 3 years that I've been making cards and it was in March this year that I met Smita thorough Dina's blog. What a world..It took me leaps across the sea to find my own neighbor!! And through her blog, I've found so many wonderful girls (I will still call you girls even when you're all 60) that share this passion (what others call madness). Thank you all for all the kind words and support along  the way.
I love the clean and uncluttered look of making cards and that's what you will find in most of my cards. . And that's why I love the images from Karen's Doodles, they're clean and super easy to color in. Many thanks to them for giving me a chance to work with their lovely images.
Thanks to Jaya for starting something so wonderful, something just for us. And it is an honor to be DT for this wonderful Challenge. 
Good luck to you all! Have fun”

 

Ashmita

Ash’s Inspiration is a poster of the movie Alice in Wonderland. Loved that movie!

And here is the gorgeous take on Ash’s choice of inspiration

 “I am a MA in Mass comm. I used to work for a TV production house. I married my best friend and now I am taking a break from my profession. Crafting has always been my hobby but as a student I never found time to develop my passion for it. Now I have adequate time to dedicate to crafting and doing lots of other things i love like gardening, bonsai, terrarium DIY home decor projects . I started crafting 3 years ago when i got married and started on a scrapbook of my hubby and me and now am a avid crafter and love to live my theme “LIVING THE HANDMADE LIFE”
I have been blogging for just 3 months and the response i have received is just overwhelming. I am so happy to meet all my Indian fellow scrappers. I hope to make a lot of friends and also wish that i can learn new things and also teach whatever little i know.
I really thank Jaya for giving me this opportunity to be a guest DT this month and i hope you like my card. Its as usual its different and vintagyy which is my style. My inspiration is this poster of the movie Alice in Wonderland”

 

Sudha Kalra

Sudha’s inspiration is Nature and below is her cute flower-power take on that. You can base your inspiration on Sudha’s card

 

 “Hi all, I am Sudha, - Artist, Art and Craft teacher, love to do painting, drawing, sketching, pottery, card making everything artistic and creative. I am damn crazy about exploring and learning new techniques related to Art specially card making.

I congrats Jaya to start this “Challenge Blog” first ever in India and thank her for giving me opportunity to show my work as a DT member. Its such a big opportunity for me. I am so glad and enjoy as a DT member this month.

This month theme is – “ An Inspiration”. My biggest inspiration is Nature. I used to capture nature in my works. So I made a card along with its envelop, inspired by my biggest inspiration – Nature and reminds everyone about the beauty and the power of nature.”

 

 

Phew! Such GORGEOUS inspiration.  Please leave some love to these wonderful DT I’ve been SOO lucky to work with.

And now – jump in! Choose your inspiration – any of our DT’s inspirations – and base your entry on that! Have fun girls :))

We have two of our very special fellow Indian crafters as Guest Designers.

And the delicious surprise I mentioned earlier is none other than Joan@Paperlicious. Yes you heard that right. When I requested Joan – whose creativity and humour I *love* – to help launch this challenge & provide an inspiration – she so wonderfully agreed immediately. Thanks a ton Joan :). Now off you go have a look at Joan's inspiration and don't forget to come right back here :)

We have Smita and Manasa - two girls we know and love. Here are their inspirations. Clink on their names to visit their blogs

Manasa Bhat

“Its been a recent journey of just over a year into the crafting world and I lam loving every bit of it ! It has been very exciting journey and I am still learning with every creation.

My cards most of the times have quilling on them.If not quilling then the other thing that I love to use is digital stamps since I don't own much of clear or rubber stamps.I love to layer my cards and I love using patterned paper.I was really overjoyed when I was asked to be the DT for this wonderful challenge blog...May it grow leaps and bounds and draw a lot of creativity ! Cheers everyone :) 

Smita Lakhotia

 
“ It is such an honour to be part of Indian crafters history :) Yes, of
course, this challenge blog is creating history for us.
We've all been feeling bad because we don't have access to
International supplies. But here is this beautiful blog that is making
us go back to our creative roots, to the time when we all started
crafting, when we didn't bother about supplies as much as we did about
creativity and innovation. :)
My card is an almost maiden attempt at an acetate based card. I loved
the image I've used and would like to thank Jaya and Diane for it.

 

 

Do leave some love to Joan and the Designers.
