A Brand New Start

I have been blogging at this space for quite some time now and what started as a personal blog evolved into a crafting blog where I shared my handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, mini albums, Project Life, book binding and well, just about everything crafty.

And as much as I loved what I was doing, I have come to a place where I want this blog to be more structured. Yes, it is still going to be a space where I share my love for crafting with the world but I am also going to be sharing a bit more about other things, for example, food we've tried and loved, recipes, places we visited and maybe a new hobby or crafty things to explore. It's going to be predominantly about crafts & illustrations with a side dose of personal touches. And of course, it's also going to feature my illustrations and artwork that is available in my shop.

Come by and visit me often. I promise to work hard at taking better pictures, illustrating more and sharing them with you :) I will also offer free printables and tutorials. It's going to be fun!

Free Printable - Mother's Day PL Card

Just for the fun of it, I took out my paintbrush and drew this little illustration for Mother's Day. Writing with a paintbrush is really fun as well. And since this is freehand (no pencil, just dabbed brush in watercolor and paint), there are no restrictions. It is a pretty liberating process.

I am going to share it with all of you here as a free printable journaling card. It is already sized to 4x6 inches and would be great to add into your Project Life to document this special day.

Do hashtag #evelintdesigns if you take pics of how you use these cards on your Instagram or Facebook and if you blog, do link back some love! I would love to see how you use this card :)

And if you like watercolor accents on your journalling cards, I will be adding those to my Shop pretty soon. This is going to be fun!

Illustrated Portraitures

I am so excited! This is something that I have been wanting to do for quite a while but it has always been in my 'To Do List' and finally, I put pen to paper (literally) this is what I did!

Work in Progress... loving the shades.

It is a super fun process and I believe having fun while working makes a lot of difference to a piece of art (and even cooking). Infused with positive, happy and loving vibes from me to you :)

And here is the final product. A custom illustrated family portrait :)

If you are interested, just email me at evelintee@gmail.com to place your order. There is already a waiting period (orders are coming in), so do get your orders placed to avoid a long wait! All you have to do is email me with a photograph of your choice.

Till next time, take care!

A Happy Birthday Post

A year flew by in a blink of an eye. Never in my life did I imagine myself being a mother and there I was, almost 2 years ago pregnant with our first child :) It's been a year of ups and downs, sleepless nights and all but lots of laughter, giggles and smiles too. So many happy memories :)

Baked my lil' man a cake 

We took pictures using the timer function on my D90

Smooches!

Whee..!!!

So much joy in him :)

And here's his cake lighted up and he's too fascinated by the candles to look into the camera.. haha...

It's been a wonderful year. Here's to an even more awesome, blessed, happy year!

Stamping on Cork

It's fun and is a great embellishment to add on your Project Life or scrapbook pages. Works wonderful on cards too :)

Try it. You'll love it :)
