Teens Trends-3

Well it has been raining here on and off for the past three four days. Lots of water on the roads and traffic jams. I am confined to home. My back pain is a little better.

Here you can have a look at some of the hair accessories picked up during my trip:

You can see the hair clip with white stones-three rows of them. This makes a good party wear too. Teens prefer to wear them on festivals or such special occasions but not for every day use. The clips or other accessories with stones are costly and available in many colours. But the most preferred ones are white, red and green.

The other are made of acrylic and plastic. White and black ones go with any colour dress. The ones with blue hearts and pink flowers are so cute. We have many prints and colours available here in our markets. These are for every day use and go with any trendy outfits. These are available in small and medium sizes.

The cost of these is also within our budget. So they are trendy and are preferred by teens and young women. 
Some more in my next post....Watch out...

Teens Trends-2


Hello friends. For the past few days, there were showers now and then. There was also lot of humidity which is quite irritating. Today morning we have had very heavy downpour.

I am also suffering from severe back pain. All these have forced me to stay at home and do almost nothing. However the creative wheels in my mind keep on going round and round. I get so many ideas. I need to note them down or else these days I don't remember them.

Any way I am working on some greeting cards. So many festivals starting from August. I also need to clean out my home preparing for the festive season. But with lots of constructions going on around us, it is no use cleaning. Within a day, the dust appears again. When it is wet outside, I don't feel like taking up cleaning inside the house.

Remember I posted the latest Jewelry and other accessories that are trending with teens? You can see them here:


Here are some ear rings.

This green one above is florescent and glittery. There are other colours too I think. But my niece picked out this one.

The two danglers below are black metal. There was a time when black metal was in vogue. Now again it is in fashion I believe. These things are cyclic and return after a certain time to be in fashion once again. Lots of designs were available but somehow our elders frown upon these black metal jewelry. 



The ones below are star shaped ear studs which look to be made of acrylic and have different patterns on them. They are colorful and go along with the teens outfits very well.
 This one looks like made of rubber. I am not so sure. They are very light weight.
 The ones below are meenakari.

These are coloured stones which are circular but the surface has a star finish. These can be used by us as second tops.

I am yet to repack and organise my share of purchases. Some of them I have to gift wrap and keep ready for the birthdays and other occasions starting from August. 

I also need to take stock of my jewelry making material. Of late I have not  touched them at all though I have many ideas for creating new pieces.

Watch out for more.....

Thank You card

Hi Friends ! Hope you are all doing well.

Here the water crisis continues. Temperatures are down a bit but lots of humidity. Well here is a simple thank you card:


The base is blue coloured textured card stock. This looks darker than the actual colour.

I have used three coloured hand made paper, which has an embossed grid on them. I cut out squares out of them and attached it to the card using glue. 

Then I punched out the butterflies-four of each colour from the metallic papers. For making one butterfly, I took one butterfly and attached another one with dimensional tape to give it some dimension. Then I added the crystals. I attached the butterfly to the squares using glue.

I stamped out the sentiment in black ink on a circle punched out of yellow card stock, a thinner one. I sponged the edge with orange ink. Then I attached it to the card with dimensional tape.

Hope you like it.


Materials Used:

Blue coloured textured card stock
Yellow, orange and green Hand made papers
Yellow and purple metallic paper.
Yellow card stock
Butterfly and Circle Punches
Coloured crystals
Sentiment stamp
Black and orange Inks
Dimensional tape and glue.
