We are welcoming the lovely and super talented Dr Sonia aka Cards Crafts, Kids Projects  into the Designer Spotlight this week! If you haven’t visited her blog you are in for a real treat!

Sonia live in the bustling metropolitan city of Bangalore in India and whenever her family gets a chance they love to escape into ” the Great Outdoors” which in their case is to go to the jungles nearby. She made a gorgeous trunk using Graphic 45 ‘s Safari Adventure collection and within it are cards to hold photos and snippets of details about their jungle holidays! Sonia used dies by Spellbinders, such as the Curved Matting Basics, Elegant Ovals and Basic Ovals, as well as Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Circles to embellish each journaling card and add various themed elements.

Andrea often loses things in the great outdoors, so she made a paper wallet to help keep things safely stashed.  She decorated it with Paper Artsy images: a tree from EKD02, color wheels from EEA03 and some quotes from EEG18.
