Altered steampunk penstand

 Hello crafty friends

Here is my altered penstand steampunk inspired theme. 

                              

                                        

Entering my project at Challenges:

1. Mixed media academy: inspired by the moodboard colors and the little memories quote, I choose this steampunk fish design. Every year late autumn we go fishing with family and they become fond memories to cherish. However, this year it is not gonna happen due to the current pandemic situation. I am hopeful though that this will also soon pass and we can enjoy life once again, engaging in activities that we love.

Friends forever mixed media layout

 "Friends forever"mixed media layout:

1) More than words: When we spend time with our friends and love ones it is so relaxing. Given the current situation spending time with our friends and family has become in itself a luxury because we are trying to maintain social distancing and most of our friends and family are on isolation/ quarantine. All are trying to do the best we can so that when its over , we can chill out once again together , unwind and relax.

2) splashy mix: We all grew up playing with our favorite toys with our childhood friends. Some memories and friends of childhood remain with us forever even when we grow old. My children enjoy playing in the porch with their toys along with their friends. A random shot taken while they were playing. Made this layout to capture the moment, the memory and the friendship.

Chill out scrappage layout

 Scrap-page layout : Chill out

Hello friends , thanks for dropping by. I have created this scrap page for the following challenges

 

1) Morethanwords: 

Inspired by the creative challenge: SKETCH, I have made my layout. My ideal day for a chill out (word inspiration) will be going out by the seashores, with a headphone listening to my favorite songs. I live in the tropics surround by beautiful hills. There is no seashore, never had the experience of being by the seashores, so I can only imagine.
