34th Street Reveal

• The gallery is live ! 
• I have lots of photos, so you might want to grab a drink? And sweet and salty m&m's mix? Heeehee!! *yikes* I just counted my photos, 22 in all! I hope you're up to it? :D

• This is my 'main kit only' layout this month. 
• I love that photo so much! One of my favorite, ever :) I used my Cameo to cut the 'hearts' and then flip over some hearts (to use the red side of the paper) and filled some of the negative hearts up. Gray Hearts and Star label cut file available in the digital shop this month :)

• Went very simple for this one. Neha is growing up too fast for my liking. I wanted to say 'don't go away' but I know that's kinda selfish.
  Go, fly.. but always come back. Don't grow away. Family is always here, for you.
  I cut the leaf shape with my cameo and stitched around it. Then stitched the background before I build my page on it. I also love that I took the 'are you listening' from a christmas themed paper in Kris Kringle add on. I really love the red on that paper and really wanted to use it even though we don't celebrate christmas :)

• I used only Murray Hill add on for this layout. 
• A layout with a photo taken during Nidhi's birthday recently. We had an awesome day, really really awesome. :)
  I love the candy-looking-brad and decided to use a lot of them on this page. We had lots of cotton candy that day - the same color as the brads! :)

  
  

  

• Everyday with their grandparents is a gift. I made sure they know that because not everyone get to be with their grandparents, right? I miss mine a lot. My kids are so lucky! :)
  I cut the one little heart using my Cameo and use it to trace heart shapes onto the patterned paper then I stitched all of them and cut them out with my scissors.
  Had fun with lots of mists here too :) - I used Audrey, Taxi, Gold and Pretty Pink.

• My sparkly girl. :)
  Arranged the BG letter stickers in waves just because I thought it's fun! :) Took a lot of time (the arranging and stitching!) but totally worth it. I love how this one turned out.
  So like Nidhi! So much fun!

• In the busy, mundane everyday, it's very easy to forget that my girls are good kids. Really, I'm not even kidding. They drive me up the wall on a daily basis, but they're actually wonderful kids.
  I handcut the index card and use them as the base of my layout. Love the somewhat centralized design, love the vellum bits and pieces and of course the mist splatters!
  I used Silver, Taxi, Mint Julep and Doris here. 

• You already know that I adore the sun, the sky :) This is one of my favorite sunset shot, one of the most perfect. One day I will have this shot blown up and hanging on my wall, for now.. it's on this layout :)
  Used the pocket as a photo mat. Perfect as the grids provide some pattern without taking the attention away from the photo. Lots of orange and yellow and red on here to mimic the sun, but I used some teal for contrast :)

• I want a house by the beach. I do :)
  During this particular vacation, we got a chalet practically 10 steps away from the beach. Oh man! I didn't wanna leave :)
  They were catching and releasing little crabs here, oh that was a beautiful day.
  I layered my photo mats, with border punches and index card, and build it upwards with some stitching. the stitching design was hand-drawn with a pencil and ruler.
  Of course, a house by the beach is a dream for now :) But you never know, eh? :)
  Ps : I found the quote from Pinterest. :)

• My baby sister and my parents on her college graduation day. Can you see how proud are my parents in that photo? :)
  The layout was made for my sister, thus the journaling is in her 'voice'. That was what she wrote on the caption when she uploaded this particular photo on facebook.
  A lot of embellishments clustered together, just the way I love it. Wanted to have the journaling on the speech bubble but decided to have them in strips in the end and used the speech bubble for some letter stickers and a vellum arrow.
• Thank you so much for coming over and looking at my work. Thank you :)
