Asha Ki Kiran (A ray of hope)

Hi All!
Hope you remember me!! This is such an apt title for this post  and it is dedicated to my dear friend  Asha ..well I dunno how to start but let me try..it's been almost a month since I've been back from my break...my brothers wedding went really well..all the ceremonies were beautiful..and totally enjoyed myself.Well after getting back ..I just couldn't get back to card-making..my mojo just decided to take an extended vacation..so I kept waiting and waiting.(.plus I have been waiting for my big-shot too) but mojo never returned.I had given up all hopes of it returning...until I got a call from dear Asha who was constantly messaging and asking me what was up and why I wasn't making cards.We spoke for the first time and almost for an hour..about soo many things ..And voila! after we spoke  my mojo just appeared out of nowhere and I sat down at midnight and was up making his card till 2 a.m..so you see though my mojo hasn't returned completely I see a ray of hope..I'm assured it isn't gone for good..thankyou Asha..and I dedicate this card to you..I mean I made it for you..sorry to ruin the surprise..I made the card totally inspired by my lovely buddy Sasya's card infact it is very similar..I am such a huge fan of hers I just can't help imitating her style (please don't be annoyed Sasya).It is based in the card patternds  sketch 99 but  I didn't enter it in the challenge because I don't think it would be fair.Have a nice day you all!!!

Wish you all a very happy 2011 and winner of my candy...

My very first giveaway!!

Some close ups:

Hi!!!!I'm so happy today..coz this is my very first giveaway since I started card making in March of last year.
The candy was always on my mind but just couldn't get round to doing it because all my stuff is crammed into one small cupboard(not that I dont have many but all the rest are full of my clothes!!!) and it's not very organised..it took me so many days to get the stuff out from bags/boxes of all sorts to be able to take these pictures..the best part is even I didn't know I had this stuff  he he.So there are some pretty laces and embellies that I still haven't used on my cards and would love to share with you !
Next weekend I'll be going away again.on my last blogging break for this year as my younger brother is getting married in January so going to Mumbai to help my parent's in the preparations... I will choose a winner randomly from the comments on 4th of Jan which also happens to be my and hubby's wedding anniversary(is that how you say it).I seriously hope you like the stuff ..I tried my best to make it fun.
What you need to do to win the candy:
1)Post my candy in your sidebar..
2)You could blog about it along with any other post ..but that's upto you and not a necessity
3)Leave me a comment telling me which item you like best in the candy (please give a link to your blog as I would love to come visit your blog)
4)Become a follower if and only if you like my blog ..it is not at all a necessity for winning the candy
Have a nice day!
