Make Your Own PP-Day 3

Hello All, Today I bring to you two great crafters.....If I have understood the meaning of "diligent" correctly....I would say these two define it the best....their zeal to learn and try has put us to shock...

Megha Jain .....someone I have known through our Swaps really did some shocking work...not only was she on her toes researching for more techniques other than we gave as examples but shocked us by making an overdose of 17-20 pp's ...we didnt know the swap was that addictive!! *wink wink...have a look.


Some awesome ...shaving cream techniques...bottle caps prints and lovely doodling.....this awesome collection ran into the hands of Seema Enand to be her prized possession!! Seema....is another crafter who is always ready to try out different stuff and venture into something where she learns something new...and I think that is what makes her work fabulous....some awesome blow painting and Bargello techniques


Hats Off girls.....and the rest of you....to know who was the lucky one to receive Seema's work...drop in tomorrow :)

Make Your Own PP-Day 1

Its again the reveal time ....time to show off the creative and beautiful work done by all participants!!! This swap had two International Participants and as not many agree to pair with them we had little choice in choosing partners for them....so we would start with them ....

Today am showing off Swati Jain's beautifully created PPs ...Those stamped PPs are just amazing and that blue scene created PP is something am in love with and cant take my eyes .....


 Swati sent her PPs all the way to India ...to be a part of Piali's craft room!! For the first time I guess Piali's work was not color coordinated (I loved that part of her work but I guess she just decided to go colourful)....and what a beauty ...I love the Faux letterpress and washi tape PP and the Velveteen Stamping with solid stamping and glitter...some amazing techniques and the result being awesome....


Stop by the coming days for more and more amazing creations.....

Swap #5 birthday Planners

Hello everyone,

We are in our 5th swap already.. Seems like yesterday when we were working out the concept of Swap Central and reaching the 5th swap is super.. It's all thanks to everyone who participates.. Thanks for joining us and keeping our morale going and forcing us to put on our thinking caps... :D

This time we are concentrating on birthday planners... This seemingly small book is very important especially for people like me who have the tendency to forget birthdays.. ( Although Facebook does save me from getting killed time to by time by informing me of the birthdays).. it is still my favorite book...So why not make one for ourselves to note down the birthdays of our someone special and not-so-specials too.. *wink*

How you design your planner is upto you with conditions apply of course.. The conditions being

1) Minimum size of the planner has to be 5x7
2) Minimum 6 pages with 2 pockets on either side of each page...so that makes it 6 pages and 12 pockets in total!
3) Make two tags for every month for the pockets labelled "birthday" and "anniversary"
4) Theme- kids, teenagers, adults ( your choice which theme you choose and based on that the way you do your planner)


A few sample pictures to show you how the pockets would be made...


 The pocket
This is how the pages would look


This is going to be a one a half month swap... So enough time to plan and execute and send on time...

The rules remain the same as the previous swaps..
Registrations close by 10th October

 All project Sneak peeks necessary....photographs to reach us way before 10th November. Sneak Peak can be at any stage while you are doing your projects but must arrive before the final picture submission or the person is entitled for negative marking!!! Sorry for being stricter guys!!!

We would need your projects to be ready by 10th November after which you would get your swap partners names and the swaps to be sent out by 15th November latest!!! No delays pleases. 

We will send out a confirmation mail to all registered participants after we receive their inlinkz link and address both. No confirmation mail means your have not registered properly or not followed all the steps for registering!!

Kindly email us your full address with contact number once you have registered. Swappers who have joined us previously, just drop in a line informing us whether the address remains the same or has it changed.

 A sincere request to the swappers, please take some care while packing your final project before sending off. Indian Postal system is not well renowned for safe delivery so to ensure the well being of your hard work, please devote some time to carefully sending off your parcel.

Most importantly, enjoy. It is such a  pleasure to receive the emails with the final pictures. I swear if I could only get to keep each and every one of it I would be in crafty heaven for sure.
