Lulupu challenge #22 and a super fun Blog hop :)

Hiya friends ,
So I know its been Rrrrrrreally long since I last posted on my blog ....Hmmm atleast a 2 month long break !! Well, what can I say. I really really got busy after my vacation and I just wasn't creating anything new that I could share. But then I got this opportunity to be a part of this fantastic BLOG HOP hosted by the Lulupu Team and I am really very happy to be here now sharing my project with you all :)
For all those who are new to this hop, you can get the full detail about the challenge and the blog hop HERE .
                                      In the mean time, please do share this badge below in your side bar indicating you are taking part in this blog hop because believe me you don't want to miss this hop as you stand a chance to win some really really awesome prizes. What you don't believe me ..Uh oh !! Then do check it out HERE  :)                                                                        
And here's a list of the participating blog's :
                                                         Pooja 
                                                         Varshitha
                                                         Pratiksha
                                                         Hussena( That's me :) )
                                                          Erum
                                                          Sonia
                                                          Nikita
You must have come here from the very talented and artistic Pratiksha's blog. If not please do check out her blog here. And  here's a look at my card for the 'Cook it up' challenge. I have used 3 ingredients from the cook it up challenge in my card (Pattern Paper,Diecuts/Punches,Embellishments).                                                      
And just because I can't resist, here's another look :                                                                          
And guess what, I also made a coordinating box in which to mail this card. I always make dimensional cards and mailing them in envelope's is not an option for me so I made this box in which to send this card. Check it out :                                                  
  This is a standing view of the box with the card inside. I am sorry for the bad pictures the light was really not good when I clicked my pictures :(                                                                                     
I hope you like my card and co-ordinating box. Do let me know your reviews regarding it, I really look forward to all your comments/suggestions :)
