Hello my crafty friends, Today I want to share with you this gorgeous vintage love album. When I started with crafting I was not very much fond of vintage papers. But when I selected this paper pack for my next album it just totally changed my mind. I love these papers so much with all the beautiful roses and floral patterns. This paper collection is from Craftangles and is called Vintage Roseate. These papers are perfect to make any vintage album. You dont need to embellish these papers much because their patterns are to die for. When you use these papers you actually dont want to hide the designs with more embellishments. I have also used the sticker sheets which comes by the same name from craftangles. They have so much coordinating elements with the paper pack . i loved making this album and I am really happy with how it turned out.  Enjoy the pictures and share your comments in the comment section. This post is picture heavy so please be patient. ...

Hello friends, Today I am sharing with you this beautiful explosion box with a fairy garden inside. We are never too old to believe in fairy tales, happy endings and magic. Even though I have become a mom of a 2 year old, I still love fairy tales. And this explosion box is inspired from the same.  So without further ado let me tell you something about this project. I chose papers from dress my craft 'Whimscical hues' collecion. These papers are so beautiful with floral patterns and soft colors  like pinks greens and yellows. I just loved them.  I made this beautiful bridge in the centre using popscicle sticks. And I loved how it turned out. The couple standing on the bridge is from Mudra wedding collection chipboards. This collection is really adorable and perfect for any love theme project. Then I used lot of mulberry flowers in different shapes and sizes to give it a look of fairy garden. And i think it turned out really beautiful. Enjoy the pictures...
