When the heart rules the mind

This is my first attempt to quill with multiple strips.

 I have also used bee hive technique as seen on Preitesh's blog "Quilling me softly."

I also made a Tag for my husband's Birthday gift using the beehive technique and some folded roses.

Enjoy!

Iny MINI miny mo

I love to use these mini cards instead of tags on the gifts.It serves both the purposes.

These butterflies in first two cards are made using Royal flower techniques.It took 7 hours to finish one butterfly. But worth it,isn't it?

This butterfly design I saw on http://increations.blogspot.in/2009/09/quilled-flowers-in-shadowbox.html

The blank envelops are from Sanskriti Arts.

I made the border from glitter sticker paper .

Fun with a twist

This is one of my favorite technique for card making - Easel card with twist.

 The butterfly is made with simple husking technique

 Enjoy!

A gift to someone you love

This photo frame was made for My daughter(Pari)'s favorite teacher. 

The frame is readymade from Sanskriti Arts.

The paper bag template is taken from http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/2_5_7_10_box/

by Jenn Balcer. 

I changed the original dimensions as i needed the bigger bag.

For both bags the punch I used is EK Success's Flower Burst large Edger.

I used the frame template from Inna Dorman's blog.

I just love her work.

Due to her blog I got so much involved in the quilling.

I am in so much love with the color scheme, 

I made the second card for my other friend with the same scheme.

Orange is the favorite colour of my daughters.

 This orange card is for her friend's birthday.

I made this box for my husband on his 34th birthday with ..34 poems

(not by me...but the good love poems I searched on the net)

Each rose is tied by the plastic thread to one letter.

These roses are kept in places using magnet and tiny iron balls.

I did spiral roses and paper folded roses for the box.

That gorgeous paper is from Venus Traders, Pune.

Beautiful daughters

Daughter is a creation by God

placed in the arms of a woman

to raise up, love, nurture and treasure as a friend.

Daughters are angels sent from above 

to fill our heart with unending love.

Daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.

Daughters are like flowers:

They fill the world with beauty.

A daughter is a little girl who 

grows up to be a friend.

A daughter may outgrow your lap, 

but she will never outgrow your heart.

A daughter is the happy memories of the past,

the joyful memories of the present

and the hope and promise of the future.

To have a daughter is to find a place 

deep in your heart that misses her

whenever you have to be apart
