 Hey Hi Crafty peeps,

SathyaKala here and after an Awesome intro by Rahmat, am here to continue the tradition of our Introduction series. And it's such a pleasure to introduce to you, Anila Dikay of Novel Ideas.

 Anila Dikay is passionately a crafter and professionally an Interior Designer. She lives with her husband and a son in Mumbai. She worked in the Interior Designing field for 6 -7 years before entering this Crafting world. And she also worked in a reputed School in Mumbai as an Art & Craft Teacher for Primary kids. She actively blogs at 'Novel Ideas' about all Papercrafts but she technically breathe Cards. 

From Cardmaking to Tags, Decoupage to Mixemedia panels, You name it and she would have tried her hands on it! She is well known for her minimalistic approaches in Crafting yet her CAS cards are so eclectic in its own style.

Rainbow is her language and definitely Yellow has a greater wavelength in her Colour Spectrum. Her insta gallery is just an evident for that. Her FB live, Live workshops, Youtube tutorials are with excellent effortless renditions, that shows her passion for Teaching.

Unicorns, Rainbows, Critters, Florals and Butterflies rules her world and her Insta feed instantly lifts everyone's mood with such Sweet and Happy colours. Her aesthetic colour and design sense, finesse with which she handles her projects screams her strong Interior Designing Skills. I highly recommend you all to view her recent Monogram Youtube video, you will be sure to be bowled over by her Hand cut stencil topped with floral pattern. And not to miss her tutorial on Super cute Mini Album. She shares her knowledge so generously. 

Our Fellow-Teamie, rightly called her as Social Butterfly. 

Yes!! Butterfly goes wherever it pleases and pleases wherever it goes. She just spreads the joy of Papercrafting wherever she goes and has beautifully carved a niche in this Crafting World.

It wouldn't suffice, if I miss this end note. 

This Bloghop is the seed of thought of this Lovely Crafter!!!

Right from forming this 10 members Team to all the Blog, Insta write up, Discussions, Sponsors' mails, Checking on Prizes delivery and every bit of Blog hop needs were so meticulously taken care of by her.

It's SO Wonderful be on this Team with such a Talented, Dedicated artist.

Hello friends, today I am here to introduce our lovely team member Sathya.

She is an embodiment of elegance and calm, not just by her looks but also by her temperament. 
She is a very pragmatic and composed girl, always knows what and when to say to make a person feel better and make things easier.
You all might already know that she is also an uber talented colorist, mixed media artist, fabulous cardmaker and her exquisite penmanship is visible in her calligraphy work.
Apart from being crafty, she is a toxicologist with a desire to pursue PhD in that field. She is married to her best friend, who also is a toxicologist professor and researcher, and she is mother to a preteen son.
I also connect with her as a fellow expatriate, we both empathize with each other in terms of living far away from our loved ones, facing challenges about living in a new country every few years and missing those small little things which comes easy to people who live close by their home and families. 
Another common interest we both have is our love for flowers, and we often talk about various coloring mediums and the best papers to color and all sort of things. We have a mutual admiration for each other's floral obsession, now isn't that a fun thing to talk about?
Our team is very blessed to have such an encouraging sista among us, who is like an anchor to our team!

Team Member - Rahmat

 ​Hello Friends, 

Welcome back and Raga Senthil here.

Today I have a blissful person to introduce you all. 

​A happy mom and wife who hails from Hyderabad, India but calls Macau her home and had been living across many countries. A qualified degree holder in Science & Education and a master's in English.

The moment I pen down my thoughts about her, I realised how multi-faceted she is.

​She is not only a face of Women’s Day Hop but also the ​HEART of our hop and a ​MOTHER​-like ​Friend​ for our team members. She is an epitome of kindness and will charm you at first sight with her cool smile. An easy-going and a soft-spoken person who has a crave for papers, pencils, pens, paints and anything that you find in a stationery shop. Flowers are her first love for card-making, coloring, and/or illustrations. She surprises us with more off-the page project ideas on her feed. She is a mistress in Kitchen and a happy photographer to feed her adventurous mind. Being a mother of two University kids,​ ​​she ​has a tendency to work pre ahead of time that sets her an excellent example for younger generations. Organization has always come easy to her,​​ ​which turns her into a strict teacher who prods us to get​ Hop​ things done right on time. Yes, she doesn't like to put off things until later. Now you know why our ​Hop is a grand success for the past two years​, though it’s a team effort. We have got an outstanding leader.

Having sent her kids abroad for studies, she keeps herself engaged in crafting, photography, cooking and physical activities. She is a more sympathetic character that she never can forget to check on each one of us. Whatever the role is, she knocked it out of the Park. She does everything with a great gusto and proves that ‘Age is just a number’.​

Though she comprises many unique qualities that everyone wishes to possess, she is unassuming and gives her best without making a noise. Wherever she goes, she leaves trails of her happy tints. Yes,​ ​you guessed her right. It’s none other than Rahmat Gouse from Cards and Cooking Co​​rner. 

You can check her works at below links.

​I’m so honoured and pleased to introduce this phenomenal person. We love you so much, Rahmat. You have been a great motivator and a moral supporter for all of us, and we are so blessed to have you in our team. 

I conclude this post with my perceptions about all our teammates in one or two words.

Team Member - Radhika

Hello friends, today I am posting on behalf of our team member Pooja, she is introducing our another team member Radhika today!

Here is what Pooja has to say :

Hello friends , I hope you all are enjoying our Team intros so far. Today I have the pleasure of introducing a beautiful and sweet soul - Radhika (also known as @RadhikaHobbycrafts on social Media). Radhika holds a Masters Degree in Microbiology and hails from ‘city of pearls’ Hyderabad, India. Many of you must have already been awed by her amazing illustrations. She has been creatively inclined since childhood and has dabbled in many arts forms be it drawing, painting, jewelry making, rangoli, mixed media, recycling crafts etc, you name it and she might have tried it . Radhika’s interest in illustrations made way for her as stamp designer for well known Indian brands like Mudra &  Craftangles. I have been fortunate to own a custom stamp set designed by Radhika, just for me!!
Along with crafts we also share a common love for gardening . She is a wonderful friend to have. As a Team member, I have found her to be very quiet yet dependable. Whenever an occasion arises she is wiling to chip in whole heartedly. We are very glad to have her as fellow team mate.

Team Member - Jasleen

Hello dear friends,

Ishani here! After blushing by yesterday's sweet introduction by Deepti didi (didi is a suffix we Indians use for someone we consider our elder sister 😊, now you know why she said such lovely things for me!) I will continue the introduction series of our lovely team. 

I am so glad to be introducing to you  

Jasleen Kaur of Kagaz-ology.

This lady with the sweetest of smiles, sparkle in her eyes and a friendly demeanor, was the first person I ever approached in this crafting community! There is something so charming about her - just from the photograph, you know - if you messaged her, you will be greeted by an Angel! Don't you agree?

Jasleen is a passionate crafter, a Dentist by profession and now a days, a medical editor. She lives with her husband and two darling daughters in 'Oxford of the East' - Pune, India. She is a family oriented person, a devoted mother, an avid reader and a nature lover!

Her journey as a card maker started in 2013 with quilling and stamping and she has been influencing many of us with her creativity, since then. It was in 2016 when I saw her beautiful work and became a big fan of her talent. I was mesmerized by her work and loved her - Clean and Simple style, which was done so delicately. But little did I know that this kind lady will hold my finger to show me the right direction! I will always be so grateful to have come across so much love and kindness.

Lately, she has been making us go gaga with her beautiful and effortless water coloring. She is so talented, words will never be enough to express how much I love her and her work. That's why I would love you to check her work, yourself - and admire it!
