As some of you may know, I have 2 little children. My son Dhruv is 4 and my daughter Kyra is 2. When I was expecting Kyra, I was really hoping for a little girl, one that I could doll up with pretty dresses, hair accessories and shoes. I was thrilled when she was born and began the dolling up almost instantly. But it is only now, when her hair has really grown long that I can devote my time to her hair accessories. I once did some hair clips using ItsyBitsy supplies which you can see here. This time Read more…

I’m still in the process of putting together my holiday scrapbook album. If you want to see the first post which is the cover and binding method, click here.

Those of you who have been following my last few posts know that I have been immersed in planning my dear friend Sowmya’s birthday party. I made the party invitations in the shape of a diaper which you can view here, the take-away gifts in the shape of a baby bootie which you can view here and now it’s time to share the decorations for the party. Once again ItsyBitsy proved to have everything I needed making the entire event quite thematic and pretty. My first order of business was a wall bunting Read more…

I had the good fortune to go on a Mediterranean Cruise in August with my husband, 2 children and parents. It was a wonderful experience, we visited 5 different countries and enjoyed fabulous food, wonderful sights and unforgettable experiences. I must have taken over 200 photographs so of course the first think I wanted to do when I got back was preserve at least some of them in a holiday album. I took some time trying to figure out the concept, but once I knew what I wanted to do, I wasted no time Read more…

My dear friend Sowmya is having her second baby in a month and a couple of us got together to organise her baby shower. Of course for me organising a baby shower isn’t about the food, the party games or the decorations. It’s only about the invitations! I love any occasion to craft so I really had a blast doing the invitations for her shower. I shaped the invitation as a little diaper. It was easy enough to find the template online so I found one that suited me and cut it to this shape. Once I put Read more…

Most Spellbinders dies come with 3 to four cutting options and have the capability for embossing and stencilling.

My first order of business – using it for a Baby Boy Scrapbook. Here are 2 pages I created using Read more…
