Another Scrapbooking Album

Khyati — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:30:41 +0000

Well guys these days it seems I create more albums then Cards .. But what can I say I am a kind of person who gets very easily bored with a routine or a hobby except reading and crafting .. I gues both because there is variety to these hobbies.. So today I am going to share with a very huge album which took me two whole weeks to make and man was I tired after it.. But I love the way it turned out.. This one is a gift my sister gave to her husband on his Birthday, it deals with various stages of his life from the time he was kid till he became a father .. Readers I already warn you that this is going to be one of the longest post on my site with too many pics

The album is inspired By Laura‘s Neutral Territory Mini Album..

Friendship is like a book

Khyati — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:30:37 +0000

Friendship is like a book

It takes a few seconds to burn,

but it takes years to write..

If one day I start to matter, let me know

Khyati — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:30:54 +0000

If one day I start to matter, let me know…

but I can’t promise I’ll still be waiting for you.

Sometimes, I don’t need to be with friends

Khyati — Tue, 15 May 2012 03:30:43 +0000

Sometimes, I don’t need to be with friends.

Sometimes, just knowing that I have them is enough.

Before I met you

Before I met you, I didn’t know what it was like to

look at someone and smile for no reason at all.

Another Paper Bag Mini Album

Khyati — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:09:43 +0000

Well peeps.. I am here with another Paper Bag Mini album I made on order.. This one as very special for me since believe it not guys this is the first one I made for a women instead of a men .. So i had the liberty to add the flowery look.. .. But at the same time I had a challenge to keep it elegant .. I loved the way how it turned out.. For people out there who hate long post let me tell you guys this is going to be a long one and a picture heavy post .. So here are some of the pictures of my mini album..

The patterned papers are from Paper Mainia Blue Capsule Collection.. The stamps used are Inkadinkado, Hero Arts and Micia.. I have used various colors of distress inks, Also have used Black staz on inks on the acetate sheets to create transparent pockets.. For dry embossing I have used Provocraft and Craft Concepts Embossing Folders on my Cuttlebug… The wet embossing is done using the clear embossing powders.. The flowers which are used as handle to remove the tags are punched out from papers using Punch Bunch punches.. I have also used the EK Success Sun burst punch for my envelopes border.. On the cover I have used some Itsy Bitsy flowers and the Maya Road chipboard alphabets.. Insides I have used the mulberry roses.. And the shaped tags are handcut..

Happy Crafting,

Khyati

Well fellas I am not going to post any wallpapers or one of my crafty projects .. But today indeed I am going to share somebody else’s work.. I am so excited for it.. Anyways here is what I wanted to show you guys

Yes my new copyrights !!! aren’t they amazing.. I just couldn’t stop drooling when my friend completed it for me.. Well for me he is a pro in Photoshop and sketching.I love the way he has not only used photoshop but also his own sketching to make the girl to suit the copyright I had in mind giving it all personalized touch.. I personally love it as compared to other copyrights I saw on different websites.. Anyways don’t mind my blabbering I am just happy.. But for those of you who are out there and want to get a unique copyright done I guess he is the best person to contact .. And here is his website link..

I hope you guys like my new copyrights.. And for sure I will be using it a lot!!

Thanks for looking in to folks.. Happy Thoughts..

If a girl is silent

If a girl is silent, it’s dangerous.
They’re either :
about to blow up,
need a hug,
falling apart,
crying inside,
or all of the above….

There’s always some truth

Khyati — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:30:48 +0000

There’s always some truth behind “just kidding”;
knowledge behind “I don’t know”;
emotion behind “I don’t care”; & pain behind “I’m okay.”

Scenic Card made using Distressing

Well I happened to browse through one of the splitcoaststampers team members tutorial here.. She had some amazing tutorials on how to use brayers with different distressed colors to create different scenes.. Well so here is a card I made using one of her tutorials

The stamp is from the Asian Garden Set from Waltzingmouse Stamps.. The sentiment is from Papertrey Stamp set.. I don’t remember the name as usual .. The inks I have used here is – Faded Jeans, Shabby Shutters, Black Soot and Summer Sky by Tim Holtz.. The image is stamped using the Stazon Jet black ink.. I have added some highlighting using silver pen which looks amazing in person.. And now for the inside -

I have again used the same tree stamp and embossed it with silver powder.. The sentiment stamp is from W9 stamp.. The flowers, butterflies and rhinestones are from my stats..

Now the envelope of the card -

The floral images os a stamp from Inkadinkado, the writing is from Papertrey Stamp set and the postage stamp is from W9 Stamps.. Well i stamped it using Colorbox white dye ink pad but then I din’t realize it will take so much time and accidentally my hand touched it and the color spilled out ..

This is a card I made for a friends father on his Bday.. I like the overall male look on the outside, turned out very well

Well first of all sorry for being away for such a long time from the blogland.. But then I had a lot to do in such a little span that actually I was running from here and there to complete my work.. First of all I had one of my closest cousin coming back to India after long time hence had to create something good for him and at the same time spend most of the weekend which I get free with him .. So well I accomplished that task and then we all cousins were off to a trip to Goa.. It was awesome fun, one of the best trips I had till date .. Well then I was busy completing some of the craft orders for my friends as it was the occasion of Valentines day .. Well so I have loads and loads of crafting projects to share with you.. Hopefully I will upload them soon.. But enough of chit chat and here is the one coming for you..

Well this is a card which I made for a friend, who wanted to gift it to his girlfriend.. He is also a creative types and makes some beautiful cards which sometimes makes me feel amazed.. That people can create such beautiful cards with such less stuff.. But me well I need to have all the crafting stuff which could possibly be in my reach.. Yes I like to hoard things and collect them whether I want them or not .. So back to the topic of card .. The cute boy image you see here is from Whiff of Joy.. I just love this little guy perfect for a sweetheart card.. The sentiment stamps some are from Micia, W9 and some as usual I forgot .. Well so the inspiration of this card was a photo challenge from ICR here -

So I am applying for the challenge -

A small scrapbook

Khyati — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:30:50 +0000

Well this is a small scrapbook made using the video Kathryn posted on to you tube here.. I just love making scrapbooks now .. Well I wanted to keep tis scrapbook quiet male and hence decided to give it a worn look.. This entire scrapbook started on white paper except the inside of the book.. I distressed all the pages to get the desired look using Tim Holtz Distress inks.. On the front I have used Black soot and on the tag I have used Frayed Burlap.. Also I have binded the flower using an eyelet and some twine looking thread.. Then I have stamped the Inkadinkado Stamp set and colored it using sparkle pens.. Inside I have used some grey papers from Stash.. And have made the simple rectangle for tags to keep the masculine bold look.. I have distressed the tags using Broken China, Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord and Spun Sugar.. Then I sprinkled some acrylic paints on the.. For the pockets I have again distressed using Black soot and stamped the Inkadinkado Stamp set and colored it with sparkle pen.. The back I have repeated the same process .. So here are the pictures –

: Front

: Inside

: Photo mats tuck in the inside right and left corners

: Tags for Jouranlling
