Happy Pearl Anniversary!

Hello Blog Friends,

I made this Book of Love (once again!) for a friend who wanted to gift her in-laws something hand made - full of pictures, sentiments and basically pretty! She went through my blog and decided on the Book of Love.

She then gave me 12 pictures of her in-laws journey of their marriage - 30 glorious years. I googled it and found that the 30th Anniversary is also called the Pearl Anniversary - thus I knew my theme. It had to have lots of Pearls and soft colors. So this is what I decided on - A blue and pink colored Book of Love. It has 12 pockets to carry tags. The tags have pictures on one side and sentiments on others.

The pockets are all stamped and made pretty with border punch. The book itself has lots of ribbons.

Finally, checkout the beautiful box which my dear husband created :D . I just loved it!

Hope you like it too :)

Love, Rohini

Scrapbook - Love, Us and Togetherness

Hi Friends,

Its the month of love! And I was more than delighted to make a scrapbook for my friend who is about be be married soon. She wanted to gift it to her fiance as a token of her love by putting together all the beautiful moments of their courtship - The stolen glances, the love notes , the sweet nothings!

And I have to admit here that when the people for whom the craft is being made are awesome , the craft comes out to be so much more better :).

Its a scrapbook - collection of photos, blank spaces to write messages, pockets to hold secret messages, creative ways to glide through the pictures and lots of lovely little things.. I'll let the pictures do the talking now.

Also , through this post I would like to thank Erum of Glitter n Swirls fame for being my biggest motivation. Her work is one of the most beautiful I have seen in the crafts world. Thanks again Erum if you are reading this :)

Hugs and love to one and all,
Rohini :)

Memory Keepers

Hi Friends,

A quick post today to share with you a "Memory Keeper" which I made for my grandpa.
I wanted to make something for him which would bring back all the memories of his children and grand children through all these years. Not an album of course because its too common. So i came up with the idea of this - Memory Keepers!

These are basically tags on a ring binder. They have photographs on one side and beautiful and loving family quotes on the other. They are easy to store - Bedside table , Glass Cupboards , near your book shelf ! Very handy and a constant reminder that there are many people whose thought you fill and prayers you are a part of.

I made them on colorful surfaces on one side and a plain surface on the other . Held them together with a binder and lo - its done!

Hugs and Cheers!
Rohini!
