Farewell - Tri Shutter Card

 Hi Friends ,

I made this Tri-Shutter card after being inspired from a lot many other bloggers and going through many tutorials. It is very simple and easy to make and the end result is totally fabulous.
I made it on black back ground and on the front side adorned it with pretty papers, sentiments and embellishments.
On the backside I added empty tags for writing down wishes. It was basically a Farewell card for one of my team mates and she absolutely loved the thought that in today's age of e-greetings some one had actually hand-made her a card!









Hope you all like it!

Baby Album - There lived a Handsome Prince !



Hi Friends, I made the First Year Baby Album on order . It was a massive project and my dearest husband completed it gracefully with a custom made gift storage/carry box which has a flip cover with magnetized strips! One of our dearest projects so far :)







Have a look!
 
Page 1: Write down the Birth statistics of the baby in the attachment. First photo of the baby can be placed over the white doily as a background. On the other side the white tags can be used for both: sticking pictures as well as writing notes on both sides.





Page 2: The paper tags can be used for both: sticking pictures as well as writing notes on both sides. On the other side, open the ribbon to get a view of a “pocket of memories” . You can write down any special moments you remember about when the baby was born or was about to be born. Tie the ribbon back to secure the pocket.




Page 3: The paper tags can be used for both: sticking pictures as well as writing notes on both sides. On the other side is the Baby family tree. Small tags have been placed all along the tree (Baby, Mummy, Papa, Dada, Dadi, Nana, Nani etc). You can place stamp size photos of the family members near the tags.



Page 4: This page has a wheel of tags fixed in the centre with a brad such that the tags can rotate. These tags can be used to store pictures of Baby Firsts like smile, crawl, kiss etc. Rotate the tags to reveal the complete space for sticking pictures. The other side is a photo frame which can be used to store a portrait of the baby. The frame is secured from 3 sides: left, right and bottom. It is open from the top and a photo can be sized and slid through it.



Page 5: The paper tags can be used for both: sticking pictures as well as writing notes on both sides. The other side can be used to stick pictures of the baby’s developing smile over the months. The picture tags are covered with month names. Rotate the upper cover (which are fixed with brads) to view space to stick stamp size photos which have been hand cut into circular shapes.



Page 6: This page has a wheel of tags fixed in the centre with a brad such that the tags can rotate. These tags can be used to store pictures of Baby’s participation in his first festivals or functions. Rotate the tags to reveal the complete space for sticking pictures. The other side is a photo frame which can be used to store a portrait of the baby. The frame is secured from 3 sides: left, right and bottom. It is open from the top and a photo can be sized and slid through it.


Page 7: This is the final page of the album which has space to capture baby’s first birthday. On the front side there are balloons which can be used to record the gifts the baby received on his first birthday. The paper tags can be used for both: sticking pictures as well as writing notes on both sides. On the other side is a pocket which can be used to store baby’s portrait. Open the ribbon and then open the golden cover which is basically: 4 semi circles held together by pressing each semi circle under the other on one side. Paste the picture on the base and close the cover as you opened it. Fasten the ribbon to secure the pocket.
