Good morning and happy Monday.

Hope you all had a fun weekend.I had a sunny weekend and lovely time spent with the family, and visit to Mt. Rainier too.

Karan again has this fabulous sketch, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

 tic tac toe on sketchesforyou is interesting. I have used paint, ink and multiple photos.

Bailey House -- Eyes Right

Hello everyone.
I am back with some memories from 1991. My school days.

CSI challenge is to journal about school or work. For days I was thinking of some pics of my kids to scrap. ( happens when you are mother of 2). But then saw layout of one of the fellow bloggers , and realised I went school too.So here I am , trying to rewind back to 1991 and journal about my school days.

Pic of my 12 grade , sports day-- year 1991
There are lots to tell about these pics. My most precious years in the school.I studied for 14 years in the same school, starting from kindergarden to 12 grade. Darling of all the teachers, well known to the principal, even the working class ( ayas and chaprasis -- they helped the school in the cleaning and running around with small errands.) It was all soo different , specially from culture here.
So just a little background, the whole school students after 2nd grade , were divided into 4 houses. I was in green house-- the Bailey house. Always actively participating in extracurricular activities, made me kind of popular:) . And in 12 th grade I was selected as Captain of the Bailey House. Very big responsibility. Almost 6 hundred kids under my command. But I had the best team,all my friends were in Green house and the head girl was my friend too. Sooo, we as group rocked. My house reached its highest point , winning all sports and academic competitions. We learned to lead ,to organise , to motivate . we felt like Obama probably. hehehhe.
We worked hard, slogged ourselves, and got our reward. Our house came first overall after 4 yrs.
Now coming to pics and the title.
WE , while march past , had to turn our heads right when passed the guest of honor. I had to give the command, but I had such a bad throat , that my friend deepali gave the command and I just moved my lips. HAHAHHHA.
"BAiley House--- Eyes right" still reverberate in my years when I think of that day.
Soo much fun and hard work, anxiety, high emotional drama when we won, cant forget anything.
The third pic of our house pyramid, dedicated to girl child, as India still struggles to give better life to girls.

Can go on an on. But dont wanna bore you guys more. Thanks for reading me .

The sketch is from sketchnscrap september challenge.

The layout is dedicated to all my friends and BAiley house team.
Love you all.
Thanks fro stopping by. Please leave your comments.

Hi!   It feels as if been ages since I wrote a post. Its just that I made few layouts which were for design teams and not to be disclosed. 

Yesterday while browsing the current challenges, I came across to a beautiful sketch on prima .  

HEre is my take on the sketch. I have used  3 of prima's stencils to create the background.(checker, crackle and doily) .trinklets and brads on flowers are from Prima too.While floral stem is from Prima.

Here are few closeups.  I am loving my pastels. There are soo many colors to give the right color to the background.

Net chipboard is from creativeembellishments. I have applied copper powder on it.

Thanks for stopping by. Please follow my blog if you like it.

Thanks.

Beach -- LGS week 2 sketch

Hello fellas. 

Hope you had a fabulous weekend. I went for river tubing with my family on the Wenatchee river. Well I must say this marked the end of our summer holidays.

Its Monday and time for letsgetsketchy 2nd week reveal. Here is my take on the sketch.

I have used paperhouseproductions paper and circle cutter from Kreaxions. This circle cutter makes various size circle cutting soo very easy.
I am also entering this layout for sassyscrappers mood board challenge.



Thanks for visiting. Please leave your cherished comments.

Cute

Hi!   I have been wanting to make this kind of mixed media layout for long. And esp this photo of my daughter , taken while she was volunteering at local Petco, always gave me a feeling that mixed media will go best with it. 

I just started the layout with colouring the paper with various shades of brown pastels. I hope it will stay .

  Challenge blog artastic has come up with very interesting challenge, all about threads.i have tried to give texture to my layout with lots of thread. And i am pretty happy with the result.

 I really like creativeembellishments chipboards. I love to use corner or frame chipboards.

Hope you will like this layout. Please your sweet motivators. They keep me going.

Traditions-- Raksha Bandhan

Hello ! Good evening.

I received my kreaxions punches today , and i am eager to use them. saw couple of videos and had a chat with awesome fellow scrappers to get some tip on it. Will need more practice.

I am entering this layout for anything Asian challenge on lasting memories . I have used my a piece of my mom's old saree , beaded lace also from India . And hand made accents to give it very traditional look.

We celebtrated Raksha Bandhan ( traditionally  sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers wrist , with a commitment from brother to protect her always), with my daughters tying rakhi on their dad's wrist and  theri brother in law wrist, as families have shrunken and even if we have brothers or sisters , they are far away .

I have used handmade Rakhi ( basically decorated thread like friendship band) ,on my layout.

creatingwithpaperandmore has awesome color combination, and the sketch is by very talented Bev from the challenge blog sketchesinthyme.

Hope you will like it.  Please leave your comments.
