Happy Diwali

Hi Friends, I know it is not Diwali yet. But I wanted to create a LO using pictures of Shikha (My friend's daughter)- from last year's Diwali Celebration.

 1) As soon as I saw the Sketchy Thursday 6-23 Sketch, I knew these pictures were perfect for that layout.

2) I am entering this LO in the My Unity Place - Scrapbook challenge - To use Banners on your page.

3) I am also submitting this LO for Nichol Magouirk's challenge on Two Peas in a Bucket - to Use paint/ink/etc. to customize your own embellishments on your next layout!


These are the pictures of my friend's daughter Shikha - when she was all dressed up for the last year Diwali Festival. I had to create a LO with these pictures.

I used the Happy Banner image from the June 2009 Unity KOTM - Perfect in Every Way for the title along with some American Crafts Thickers. I colored the banner image with some copic markers to keep it within my color theme.

The border at the bottom is Tim Holtz Grunge board that I cut with the edgers die and then inked it with some Ranger Acrylic Paint. I also colored the brads with copic markers to get a matching color for my LO.

The layout is simple, but I liked how it turned out. Here is the Sketchy Thursday sketch,

Unity Friends with Flair, July 16

It's Friday already!! Time is just flying. This is my first time participating in Unity Friends with Flair blog hop. Please stop by at the Unity Blog to see the complete list of participants.

I created this card using image from Unity October Store Kit - Wonderful you and the sentiment is from {ippity} set The Simple Things.



I am also submitting this card for,

1) CAS-tastic Wednesday Challenge #12 - It's Simple. I stamped the image, inked the edges of the paper, added Lace and embossed the background.

2) I also used the Color Throwdown Challenge #101 for this card. I did not have the exact colors. I used PTI Spring Moss instead of Kiwi Kiss and PTI Aqua mist instead of baza breeze. But for the ink, I used Ranger DI - Crushed China as I did not have either the SU or PTI Ink for that blue.
