Sunflower ATC

Hi Friends,

Today I am sharing 2 Mixed media "2.5 by 2.5" ATC with you all. When I had made the sunflower, I was left with some petals that I made for the flower. These ATC were made with the purpose of using these leftover petals as the focal point.


  • The background was created using Ranger distress inks along with stencilling & stamping with Ranger archival ink. 
  • I adhered the sunflower petals on the left corner and attached tha foam circle on top. 
  • To add texture, I added dots on the circle foam with help of a Sakura micron 
  • For sentiment I stamped "Art Journey" from " Unity Stamp Company" on a piece of small cardstock, distressed edges with aged mohagony distress ink and adhered it with a thick double sided tape
  • To finish the ATC, I mixed some red colour with ranger texture paste and applied on the edges roughly with a spatula
Hope you liked these ATCs

With Love,

4 by 4 Accordion style mini album

Hi all,

Today's post is about a mini album I made for a dear friend of mine who is visiting India (She is married & settled in US now). I wanted to make a small and easy to carry that is not very bulky and hence I made this 4 by 4 mini album which can contain about 20- 25 pictures. It has a accordion style folded flaps. I used some simple MDF embellishments & some beads to embellish the album.  Hope you all like the pictures & video of the album. 









Here's the video of the album


Hope you all liked the album 

With Love,

Film Strip Mini Album

Hi Friends,

It was my best friend Soumya's birthday in October and I decided to make a mini-album as a birthday gift for her. I used the Paper Mania Film Strip Chip-board Album. The reason for using the Film Strip album rather than building one from scratch was that we have bonded a lot over movies. (Little secret: while in Pune for Ph.D., I have seen maximum number of movies in theatre in the 2 years that Soumya stayed with me.)


I added a shaker element to the cover (Check video below to see shaker element)


Soumya loves music and so the guitar pocker



The flap on the right page is a accordion water fall

Here is a small video


Hope you all liked the mini album
