\nHi …Oh …HI !!
\nWelcome here..
\nWhat did I do all these months ?
\nNothing of consequence …but its been hectic and I literally craved ornate papers and scissors every single day..now when I am back …the mojo decided to leave me for a sabbatical.
\nIts COLD ..within the university campus and it feels cruel to leave my warm spot.
\nI know ..excuses !
\nSo a good friend tied the knot and I decided to surprise her with something handmade \ud83d\ude00 and it may not remain a surprise if she hops on to the blog. :S
\nThis is my first envelope mini and its inspired by Laura of Following the Paper Trail.<\/b>
\nThe binding is a again inspired by her.
\nLets roll people…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>I have been eyeing the Tim Holtz Ornate plates for the past 6 months..I love it …to say the least. I mean its pure genius. I bought this from Craft Adda<\/a> and trust me..although I itch to use it, I don’t have the heart to give it away.<\/p>\n

\nAnyway glossy accented the plates after printing the names on a paper and distressing it with walnut stain distress ink, again bought from Craft Adda<\/a> along with 6 other colours.  The background of the cover page was dry embossed-distressed-heat embossed and then finally coloured with Fired Brick and Scattered Straw distress inks with a water brush. Lovely effect!! <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThat flourish you see above is actually a backing of a wooden flourish I got from a craft shop. \ud83d\ude00 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis above, happens to be the first page of the album. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nDo you see the bead binding ?? Those are wooden beads I used as spacers between the album pages. <\/div>\n
\nThe papers are paper mania capsule collection papers in reds and yellows. Quite festive .. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThere are flowers as tabs to pull out a large tag from the page pockets. <\/div>\n
\nI also got a MS doily lace punch from Craft Adda<\/a> which I adore… I think its such an elegant design that it goes well with almost every theme. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHow do you like it ?? <\/div>\n
\nHmm…may be the watermark is more interesting \ud83d\ude09 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the spine…well I had to mull a lot over what to use. Since I generally end up with ginormous paper spines in greed of space I decided to use a gorgeous crochet lace. I glimmer misted it in red and then used a hot glue gun to paste it as spine. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the first time in my long & pathetic life, I was relatively neat ..whats with the side view in the picture below \ud83d\ude1b <\/div>\n
\nSomething that is not distorted and THAT my dear people is an Accomplishment for a wretched person like me. <\/div>\n
\nNow that I am posting I suddenly remembered that I forgot to click the tags out in the open. \ud83d\ude41 <\/div>\n
\nSeriously they are matchy matchy !! <\/div>\n
\nGaaah…see …and you thought I was done.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>This is my first post at Craft Adda blog and I am not my usual chirpy self because I am transitioning between Snow leopard and Mountain Lion ( My Mac OS) and its a great shift !! <\/div>\n
\nAnyway the idea is to inspire you and also learn …<\/div>\n
\nSo let me know if you require any additional details or a tute !!<\/div>\n
\nThats me for now …signing off ..but keep visiting as I promise to be a lot more regular.. \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n
\nLooking forward to your reactions .. <\/div>\n
\nAnd yeah drop in, by the shop<\/a> anytime, for some much needed window shopping if not serious purchases…I do that a lot!!<\/div>\n
\nTrust me you would find something useful and then its just a click away. Shopping for craft supplies never got better that this.  \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nCiao <\/div>\n
