CraftyJC Challenge #11: An Inspiration from Hussena

Hey folks!! So the entries have started pouring in. We are really excited to see what your magic hands are churning up for this challenge!!

Our second inspiration is from the very lovely Hussena. She is a very talented crafter and her quilling works are ever so gorgeous. Over to her...

"Hi I am Hussena. A wife, a mother and now very much a crafter. I am a stay at home mom of two kids ages 12 and 5. I consider myself quite new to the blog world and have been blogging since Dec 2010. I was introduced to blogging because of my love for quilling. I used to browse the net a lot to get inspiration for designs and different forms of quilling and that's when I first came across Suganthi's blog "DAYDREAMS". Her blog inspired me to start my own blog and share some of my work. Though I am very much into quilling I have started to try my hand at other crafts too. And stamping is my new found love. The support of fellow bloggers has helped me a lot since I started my journey in the blog land. I am amazed and humbled by the generosity of my fellow bloggers who always extend a helping hand by giving tips, sharing tutorials and in some cases even craft supplies.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jaya for giving me this chance as a DT for this challenge and also for appreciating my recycling work and selecting me as one of the winners.

For this time's challenge, I chose to go with Palette #3, which is Yellow, Red and Blue. Here’s my take on it…"

Thanks for such an eye-catching inspiration Hussena! Your projects are always full of life, bright and colorful. 

So guys do hop over Hussena's blog to view her work and do leave some love!

Cheers,

Indira

CraftyJC Challenge #11: An Inspiration from Dr. Sonia

Hi Friends!! This is Indira Tanwar from Arty Sorts. It gives me immense pleasure to host this challenge on behalf of Jaya.

This time around we will be having 4 DT posts as inspirations. They are the winners of Crafty JC's Challenge #9: Recycle.

First up is an inspiration from one of our most loved blogger buddy Dr. Sonia. Over to her...

"Hi friends I am Dr Sonia. I had an absolute blast during the Crafty JC Recycling
Challenge as recycling is something I am very passionate about. Thank You Jaya for
that awesome challenge. For my DT inspiration too I have a recycling project!
I have already been featured as DT on this awesome blog so I feel a bit awkward
writing about myself again but we have to follow protocol!

As most of you know I am an ENT Surgeon by profession and for me crafting is a
stress relieving hobby more rewarding and relaxing than watching TV or sleeping!.
Blogging has been a roller coaster ride and I am continually amazed at the
generosity of my blogger friends and that people actually want to follow my blog!
I seem to enjoy sharing tips and tutorials on things I am no expert at so that the
novice like me can benefit from my crafting adventures. Since like all mothers I am
proud of my little one-- I do now and then showcase my kiddos work too on my
blog! I love my mischievous Doggy too-- maybe soon I will start blogging about
him!![Then I will really lose some followers I bet!]

So if you have not gone away yet here is my inspiration - I recycled some cardboard
from a box into a DIY homemade Photo frame. I chose Color Palette #1 showcasing the colors burgundy red, yellow and green."

What an amazing inspiration!! Thanks Dr. Sonia. You continue to surprise us with your fabulous creations every time.

So what are you all waiting for!! Gear up, and show us your ever so charming stuff.

And don't forget to hop over Dr. Sonia's blog and leave some love!

Cheers,

Indira
