Missing "U"

I started thinking of a joke which led me to thinking of a pun to use on my card. Also while going through my craft raw material I realized I had not used my jigsaw alphabet stickers in a while. So I started thinking of a theme around a missing puzzle piece :) After much thought I finally settled down on a missing "U" from "Missing You".

I drew the sad boy outline and colored it and cut it around the outline. 

Materials:
Pink and purple card stock
Jigsaw alphabet stickers
Markers to color the boy cutout

2012 creative journey begins ...

2011 was phenomenal! Chaitali and I undertook a challenge "Cards for a Cause" and raised money for Asha - a non profit organization that works towards education for the deprived. On a personal front I gifted a scrapbook to my parents with memories from our week long Alaska cruise last summer. I fulfilled a custom order of  25 Thank You cards for my 1 year old nephew's birthday party. Here is the gallery of some of my creations from last year!

This year I am trying something different. Chaitali introduced me to some card making challenge blogs earlier this month and I am highly inspired by her to participate in as many challenges as I can. This space is dedicated to all my creative adventures that 2012 has in store for me :)

Stay tuned!!!
