CraftyJC Challenge#10 - Simplicity Winners

We had a whopping 90 entries for this challenge. Some of them had a few too many layers to be actually called CAS :)

Nevertheless, we had a lovely time visiting your blogs and viewing the wonderful entries.
Arriving at a Top 3 was no easy task.

Without further ado, here are the winning entries in no specific order

Vicki's stamping was a Dream :). Loved the composition.

Juhi's CAS card was so beautiful. Gorgeous stamping and layout.

Shobana's Christmas bells were so truly magical. Loved those subtle layers.

And the winner for the awesome prize from the awesome super generous sponsors itsybitsy is Shobana's entry

The random winner for the second prize is 65. Indira

Congratulations winners :)

And Top 3 - you ladies truly deserve this :)

I will get in touch with the winners with the blinkie and other details.

Thanks a lot for playing along with such enthusiasm. I hope you will play along with the new CJC #11 - Pick Your Palette challenge too. Indira is doing a great job hosting it - thanks girl :) The next few challenges will be hosted by Ujjwal and Indira.

CraftyJC Challenge #11: An Inspiration from Ujjwal

Heya! Today we have our last inspiration for this challenge from our very own Ujjwal!
Ujjwal is a known face in the blogland, and I know many of us look upto her for her ever inspiring designs.

Over to you Ujjwal...

"Hello, I’m Ujjwal living in Pune, India and like the rest of the us am seriously addicted to Craft- making, admiring, hoarding and most defiantly buying ( things that I don't need but MIGHT need :D ). I got married to a wonderful guy 1 and a half years back and life has been a beautiful journey ever since. My DH is most supportive, encouraging and ever so patient with my crafting needs(I am not sure if its the same when I go on my crafting shopping spree!)

I have been into card making and crafting since I was a small kid but it got serious when I discovered blogging one and a half year back and started my own blog in February last year and there has been no looking back. I have met some very talented people..made wonderful friends and learned a lot.

I am glad to have been given the opportunity to be a guest designer at CraftyJC Challenge today! I am looking forward to all the creativity, fun and crafting!


About the project:
I chose to work with palette #2 and created a sweet and simple card. I hope it inspires you in some way to play along."

Now isn't that inspiring people!! My hands are already itching to creating something based on the other 2 color palettes.

Thanks a lot Ujjwal for the wonerful idea.
So guys you know what to do now. Hop on to Ujjwal's blog and leave some love!

Cheers,

CraftyJC Challenge #11: An Inspiration from Indira

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.
Today I present to you the third inspiration for Crafty JC Challenge#11. Yup, I am also the DT for this challenge as I was one of the winners for the Recycling challenge.

So here I go.....

"My name is Indira Tanwar and I live in Mumbai with my husband. Ours was a love marriage and we have been married for 3.5 years now. Being an Army officer's daughter, I was privilleged to travel across the length and breadth of the country. I did my schooling from 7 different schools, graduation in Jalandhar and MBA from Symbiosis, Pune. I work in an IT MNC in Mumbai.

Given a chance, I would chuck my job for crafting!! I have been crafting since childhood and my source of inspiration is my mom. I used to watch her paint, stitch, do flower arrangements, sugarcraft and what not. I love all sorts of crafts and like trying my hands at new things. But, quilling is my all time favorite. I think I first did quilling when I was in school. I had seen some book in a library (internet wasn't known then), and tried it on coming back home. I don't even remember what I had made and where it is now. The second time I did quilling was 3 years back when I came across Shilpi's quilling kit at the Hobby Ideas store at Inorbit, Malad. And I have been hooked to it since then. I started my blog in 2007 just to store my creations on an online interface, so that I could access it whenever required.

It was only in 2009 that I started blogging seriously. I was amazed to meet so many talented crafters in India through blog land. ICR provided the perfect platform to know many more of them. It gives a really nice feeling to know you have people like you who not only appreciate your work but one also gets to learn so much from them.

About my card...

This is the first time I am a DT for any challenge. Hope I do justice to it.

I have chosen palette #2 as my inspiration. I think green, blue and purple combo looks very elegent."

I would like to thank Jaya for having the faith in me to host this challenge on her blog. I am just doing my bit to help her.

Do hop by my blog Arty Sorts and let me know how you like my work. Looking forward to see your wonderful creations.

Cheers,

Indira
