Happy New Year in NEON

Hello everyone!! I know...I know, I am not blogging much but with kids and hubby at home for 2 weeks, I hardly get any ME time ;) And we are re-organizing our bedroom/office space too. I have to make my craft table more useful...

And finally it's snowing here...we already have about 20 cm snow and it's snowing more n more :) The temp. yesterday night was -11

So, here is a card, which is on the Imagine Crafts blog today! Check out the full tutorial and supply list HERE.

And this is how I got inspired to create this card....I've always loved soft colors and never thought I could love Neons, ever!! When Imagine Crafts introduced the new Radiant Neon inks last year, I was a little bit scared to try them but I did give them a go. Little did I know that I will fall in love with this line of ink! LOL So for my New Year’s card, I used my favorite Radiant Neon inks along with the subtle shimmer of the Shimmer Spritz Sparkle and the recently introduced Radiant Neon irRESISTible Pico Embellisher

Year 2014 was quite good to me in terms of Crafting. I worked with some of the best teams, I got published a lot including covers of the magazines.  Also I got published in the magazines in UK. Most of all a dream came true, when I was picked a World Card Making Day 2014 winner by Paper Crafts& Scrapbooking magazine. Hope the new year will bring more challenges and new adventures :) Do keep checking my blog...I have some special things coming up :)

I wish you all a Happy New Year 2015! Enjoy and Have fun!

Coffee Lovers' Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Coffee lovers' blog hop. I am joining in the fun with some card-makers, who share the love of COFFEE!!

The fun starts at Amy's blog HERE.

For my card, I used the sketch by DCWV stack-o-holic challenge, as I recently got some stacks by them in my World Card Making day prize. Love the papers. Then I used my one and only coffee kind of stamp set by paper smooches :) I stamped the coffee beans, fussy cut and applied some ImagineCrafts shimmer spritz and irRESISTible Pico embellisher to create the embellishments. I know it's not all snowflake and stuff but I love glitter during this time of the year, so this card has plenty of glitter in real life :) And somehow, I had to add the cocoa beans as my embellishments...lol

My card:

Thanks Amy for organizing it! You can find the inlinkz to link your card and all the details at Amy's blog.

Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks! Blog Hop

Hello and welcome for a special blog hop to thank everyone from the Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine for the inspiration they provided us all. Sadly, the magazine's closing but our printed magazines and the memories  will always remain with us :) Talking about {memories}: sleepless nights before the submission, waiting for the fb parties, refreshing the page a *zillion* times to check our mail box, nervous chatting with friends, and hopefully a happy dance in the end...I sure will miss that all!
I made many good friends, thanks PC&S!! I was also excited every time I saw my magazine in the letter box...I'd walk around the house holding on to it the whole day long...lol ;)
Thank you PC&S for pushing me to my limits, to broaden my horizon and step out of my comfort zone.

You should've arrived from Danielle's blog. If you'd like to start from the beginning, there's an inklinkz on bottom.


Now to my card: It may seem inappropriate that the sentiment is "smile" but I think we can say "smile because it happened". So even though I'm sad, I'm still smiling :)

The next stop on the hop is Jen's blog. Happy hopping and wishing the PC&S team happy future!

Here's the whole list:

Merry Christmas
