2012 on the way!

its suprising how 2011 just flew away and now coming sunday will be 2012.
2011 has been quite eventful, learned quite a lot and would have wanted to get more out of it :)
Have a few resolutions coming up for 2012,lets see how they revolve around me. Would want to document 2012 and yes take out time to get creative for my own self :p

Anyways, here's my last creation of 2011,as will be traveling to Nepal for New Years..(couldn't find a colder place :p )

This card is a sample for "Get Frameous " Challenge sponsored by Lil Bee at Abudhabi Papercraft.
Owl stamp is from Hero Arts and has been colored in by Copic. Window frame is the new collection from spellbinders Heartfelt Creations DECORATIVE WINDOW SCENE  Die

The star scene behind the frame is created with Martha Stewart STARRY SKY Punch All Over The Page.

The mat for the frame is created with brown AC cardstock, embossed and crackled with Ranger's Picket fence.

The branch is frm Maya Road chipboards, I just love them!!

Time off ,have to pack as well!, Have the best New Year's eve, and lots of wishes for the 2012 ahead...keep me in your thoughts.
Happy crafting!

Hana

"All Smiles"

 Who said I don't have smiling photos :p

I created this layout with Lil Bee's April kit,a complete blend of vintage and party themes. The Long Flower stem is from Dusty Attic which I painted with Acrylic paint dabbers(amazing n easy to use!). The chipboard fence is from Maya Road,which I covered with Walnut stain Distress stain and the covered with Crackle accents. The background is misted with Dusty Attic's Brick wall as a mask.

The small bicycle is made by Hero Arts stamp and Ranger Shrink plastic. The sliding journaling tag under the pic is made by Maya Road Ledger Transparencies.

Happy Crafting!,

Welcome 2011!

There are times when you stop loving yourself and go deep down in your shell. You loose focus from what you love doing, you corner your self from people you care and start believing what are lies.

2011 has started off as a blessing for me. I need to achieve , relax and find happiness everywhere.

I ran across Ali Edwards' One Little Word and decided to embrace the idea of having a focus word for the year.
 I ended with 2 words for 2011 : "Bloom" and "Soul". I want to work on my soul,treasure it and pamper it. Bloom has a special significance this year.

I am taking Melody Ross's Soul restoration online workshop. And plan to take atleast 3 workshops this year.

I have brought the same happiness and peace in Lil Bee's scrpabooking kits. The Main Album kit ,starting from Jan 2011 ,are just amazing..!.

Here is a current layout from Lil Bee's Dec 2010 kit, and some preview layouts from year 2010:

 

Also , dont forget that Lil Bee is having a Design Team call, check it out here.


Happy Scrapping!

Hana.
