Forest of Memories ..

Hi Everyone,

"There is a memory in the forest"

Today I have collaborated with Scrapbook.com to bring you guys some inspiration for the ongoing challenges as a part of National Scrapbooking Day 2018 event. 

I have made these disjointed canvas composition which when kept together tells a story. 

These disjointed canvases have a full detailed tutorial on my youtube channel.
Please hop on to youtube and leave me some love<3

I am entering this composition into the May Challenge at More Than Words.

Frame - Used two frames ( One with the clock and one behind the picture)
Memories - When I was 13, I was sent off to a boarding school. My school had many dense forests as a part of the property which was accessible to students. I use to get bullied a lot and that forest was my hideout. It had let me introspect and made me the person what I am today. All those bullies today are at the low point of their career, lives etc and I rose above all that to be a better and successful woman.

Connect more with Nature - Spring Inspired Layout

Hi Everyone,

SpringTime is my favorite time of the year. I live in Chicago and that's why I appreciate it even more. The moment I saw the new color palette at Prima Marketing Inc's blog, I knew I had to give it shot.
I decided to combine it with my love for nature and butterflies for More Than Words April Challenge.

More than words April challenge 

Word Inspiration - 'Nature'
Creative Inspiration- 'Animal'
My power animal has always been a butterfly. With so many ups and downs which I am facing currently, it empowers me to navigate through them with grace.  Some very big major changes are happening in my life. Whatever I have built in my life so far is again starting to fall apart. This uncertainty makes me feel more connected to nature. Whenever I am out in parks, where I am surrounded by nature - I feel more energetic. I see how beautifully a tree becomes leafless in fall and then again flourishes in spring with so much positivity and happiness. Such is life, however dark be night dawn always breaks in.

Have a great inspiring day!

Photography Tips - Collaboration with Commercial Palm Trees

Hi Everyone,

I hope all of you are doing well. Today I have a very special post in collaboration with  Commercial Palm Trees. 

Often times I get asked, how I photograph my pictures?
I use a lot of props around my pictures so that they look interesting. One of my fav props is artificial plants. The splash of green brings out all my project. They look very dynamic with the focus being completely on them.

Below is the beautiful assortment of plants which I have received. The quality is top notch and colors are very true. You actually can't even make out that these are artificial.

Now onto how I use these plants as photo props.
Let me share some examples.

You can clearly see how the pop of green elevates the entire look of my project. I personally feel key to good photography is great lights and good props. You can never go wrong with plants. They do add a neutral look to anything you are photographing.

Keeping aside how beautiful they act as props to my projects, I love decorating my house with these. A dull house ( in my case my restroom) looks beautiful with these plants.

I really hope you enjoyed my review of these plants.
I would highly recommend getting a few for yourself.

Comfortable when I am alone ..

Hi Everyone,

Before March ends I really wanted to participate in the challenges over at More than words challenge blog and Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo blog. The themes were super fun to work at.
I also have a youtube tutorial to support this project. Do leave me a comment if you like it.

The image used in this project is by Finnabair. Thank you, Anna, for this one of a kind door. Paper is from 7 dots studio. Flowers and embellishments are from Prima Marketing Inc and Mixed media supplies are from Finnabair.

This month at More than words the challenge was a color combo and comfortable word. I think comfortable is one word with which we all can associate to. For me personally, when I am alone I am at my most comfortable state. I like locking myself behind closed doors at times just to think and introspect with the plethora of emotions an thoughts which my mind and heart go through. Most of the time I feel discontent with what I have but when I am alone I am in my most comfy state.

The challenge at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo is Lines. When I am alone, that's the only place where I can out of lines with no judgments. I don't have to fear or feel guilty for the way I feel. I have tried my best to work with lines in the layout.

I am also entering this in the challenge at Dusty Attic blog.
