Hello all...

Welcome back to my celebration post and thanks for keeping patience. I m feeling better now!!

Here comes the very first sponsor of my giveaway. If you are new and wonder what I am talking about, please do visit my first post of celebration on the launch of my new website HERE and you can win lots of prizes where you can shop craft supplies of your own choice.

SPONSOR NO: 1 

Giveaway By "Krafters Cart" (Meetu Aggarwal)

A little something about Meetu Aggarwal and her business.  

Having a creative bend from school days, crafting always fascinated her, she loved using different mediums and creating new things. Meetu was introduced to me way back in 2002 by a common friend and she joined my craft classes. Her journey into the paper crafting world restarted in October 2012, when she opened her Facebook account and connected with others in the same field. As she was already comfortable purchasing from international websites and using PayPal, she realized she could get materials at cheaper rates from abroad rather than buying for India at that time. So she started buying for her personal use. That was the time when she got reconnected with me when I was too trying to build my collection.  On my request, she started getting the supplies that tempted me always and that was the starting point for her craft supply business. She did not want to invest right away, so she started getting stuff on pre-orders, where she did not ask for her customers to pay in advance but asked for a commitment that the products ordered will not be canceled. She charged minimum margins and was able to offer better rates. Slowly and steadily her business grew, and in February 2015 she launched her website www.krafterscart.in . She says, she still prefer getting stuff on pre-orders, as that is how she had started her business and most of the crafters loved it too. With "Preorders" she means.....EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING !!  Besides that Meetu stocks a huge range of paper crafting materials such as stamps and dies, mixed media supplies, embellishments, various glues and she manages to run a successful business despite the huge competition in the field. She is currently based in NewZealand and manages to run 2 craft supply businesses successfully....one is in New Zealand itself and the other one in Gurgaon,India.

Dear friends...
A very warm welcome to you all!
I'M JUST TOO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE IS FINALLY UP AND RUNNING TODAY!
I would like to start today's post for this blog with a quote that I believe in...

 

My another dream come true!!
My determination and hard work gave shape to my dreams and turned them in reality.
Four years back, when I started my journey in paper crafting I never thought that I will reach so far in this industry in such a small time. I was introduced to Facebook by my kids just to pass the time when I was on bed rest after my surgeries. However, there I met a few people who actually became a part of my crafting journey. Let me introduce you to them...

Neha Jain, a fellow crafter and software engineer who introduced me to so many Indian papercraft designers. Kaveri Chhabra, one of my very old student who offered me to use her own tools as I was not in position to buy such expensive supplies on my own, Monika Sachdeva, my best friend who always supported me when I was in need, though she is not much in crafting now, Mallika Kejriwal, yet another fellow crafter who introduced me to blogging in April,2012. I still remember when Priya Sivaraj offered me to design for Color Conception. I was not even known to proper blogging. I use to design and do the write-up but also use to share my password and ask her to post on my behalf, Meetu Aggarwal one of my old student and best friend who always supported me and called for supplies that I use to google and were not available in India and my daughter, Srishti Chawla, who always acted as my backbone in crafting specially during my workshops, though she is not at all interested in joining me fully. Quilling gave me a start and card making made me move little more and then started my journey of taking workshops in different states of India.
My journey as a crafter has been a real roller coaster ride but I've enjoyed every bit of it. And today, I'm launching my own website that has been designed by my son. Needless to say, I'm on top of the world! I want to thank all of you who've stopped by my creations and shared your valuable feedback and appreciation. Without your support, I wouldn't have made it to this day. Thanks a lot!

 

And here comes the exciting part...

To celebrate the launch of my website, www.rajnichawla.com, I'm announcing a grand giveaway where you can shop for craft supplies of your choice, worth Rs. 5000 from any of the leading craft stores that will be participating in the giveaway. Also, one lucky winner will get a surprise gift worth Rs. 3000 from my side!

Painting time with Penny Black

Painting time with Penny Black

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Hello all...

An evening when you are tired and you just need to relax a little. What do you all do ??

For me, painting is the best way to relax. And when it's with your favorite stamp set .....its just cherry on top. Today I m sharing a  Penny Black image which I painted yesterday. The stamp I used is Summer Love from Penny black. I used distress inks for painting and Steadtler water color pencils for highlighting. I don't know when and how I will be using this image but you can check my earlier post for inspiration which I made few months back as a guest Dt for Penny Black. Click here to check the post. 

Hope you like it.

And thanks for dropping by!!
