Happy Saturday! I hope everyone's having a great Saturday. Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas I made for a friend;
as a few of you might know I moved to Singapore recently. Right after we moved here, my husband had to travel for work for 5 weeks, leaving me and my LO in a new place with no friends or family around. I was lucky enough to meet my friend at this time, she never let me feel alone in a new place, invited us on play dates, introduced me to her friends and helped me find my way around the neighborhood.....
After reading about Jennifer Mcguire's "Share Handmade Kindness" challenge for friends and family,
I just knew I had to make something for her.
Even though I'm just a beginner when it comes to mixed media, I enjoyed adding all the layers and textures on this canvas.....and love how it turned out.....and the best part is the photo is not fixed and can be changed.

I made this canvas for a friend who had a baby girl recently. The quote was cut using my Silhouette Cameo, the background patterned paper is from DCWV, I added a generous dose of sparkle Mod Podge over the entire canvas.......love love love the shimmer :)
I also added a customized photo frame (yup you guessed it the baby's name is Saannvi ;) )  to complete my handmade gift set.

I transformed two boring metal photo frames into these....
with washi tape, 3D chipboard stickers and alphas......these took less than 2 hours to make.
 I have covered the pink one with mod podge and left the green and blue one as is...I'm happy with both the results. 
Giraffes are my daughter's favorite wild animals at the moment so she is very happy with this one :) 

Shadow boxes have been on my mind for long, last week I finally got around to making one. I made this for my parents who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this November.
I first painted the MDF shadow box black and added some patterned paper at the edges and inside the box partitions. Added photos in three partitions and covered everything with a generous layer of Mod Podge. I finally embellished the box with MDF, chipboard and metal embellishments.
Supplies used:

1. 12x12" MDF shadow box
2. Gesso and Black acrylic paint
3. K & Company patterned paper
4. Mod Podge
5. Tim Holtz tattered floral die
6. Tim Holtz distress paint
7. Mdf embellisments from here and here
8. Metal embellishments are from a RAK from Mallika
9. Flower centers are from my stash

Do check out my guest post at the Itsy Bitsy blog. Here's a sneak peak

A quick post to share something I made for my uncle and aunt's 50th wedding anniversary.
Linking upto:

Vintage is not my style (which mostly means that I am not able to get the effect however hard I try!)....anyway I decided to give it a shot for Get out of your comfort zone with Michelle Bertuzzi!
I transformed a plain photo frame which looked like this
 into this......not vintage exactly...I feel the blue in the background PP is out of place a bit......I've sprayed tons of perfect pearls onto the frame so it has beautiful fine shine IRL (not visible in the pic).
The couple in the picture are my parents, I guess the picture was taken sometime in the 80s....
Have a great weekend!

Alice in Wonderland is one of my all time favorite books. I remember my mum reading it out every night to my sister n me when we were kids.....I must have read it atleast 10 times after that.......it never fails to capture my imagination every time I read it....this is one of my favorite quotes from the book
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I take? she asked. Where do you want to go? was his response. I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't matter.”
This quote aptly describes my state of mind most of the time :P
I started making this as a gift but the frame did not turn very good, so this goes on my office desk.
