Happy Birthday card by Aleeza

 Hello dear bloggers,

This card was made by Aleeza, my younger one who is 12. She locked herself in her room while I was busy in my own craft space and gave me strict instructions not to come into her room. Finally, when she did come out, this is what she had in her hand. She made the ice-cream cone on her own and fussy cut it after colouring it in with Lyra pencils. 

The sentiment was handwritten as well and a strip of washi tape was stuck at the bottom.

I thought Aleeza did a pretty good job on this one.



I will enter the following challenges with this card:

Aleeza's card

 Hello bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza, my 12 year old made totally on her own while I was giving an art/card making class to a student. She made it in minutes, smooshing with distress oxides, a happy die cut sentiment and Birthday written in her handwriting. I thought it really turned out well. Maybe I can take a class from her. "The child is the father of man" or rather to be politically correct and in my words, "The child is the mother of women". Lol.


I will take part in the following challenges:

Hello - a collaboratory card

Dear sweet bloggers,

My younger daughter, Aleeza who is all of 12, made the background of this card with markers and I layered it on to a cardstock that was painted with acrylics. The teddy bear came all the way from the UK. A kind blogger by the name of Sandra Baldwin sent it to me. Aleeza hand wrote the sentiment as well and I stuck the layers together.

Aleeza's card today

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza made yesterday totally on her own. She says the inspiration came from the internet for the cute birds which she drew directly on the cardstock. She coloured the birds with my Derwent water colour pencils without adding water. The washi tape is from my stash, rather our stash as is the thank you sentiment.




I will participate with this card in the following challenges:


Happy card making,

Bee happy

Hello dear bloggers,

You know I really miss my old followers since the time I began blogging in 2010. I have come across such a lovely community of people here. So kind and so generous and so encouraging and so loving and so so so. It could go on and on. I am grateful for my friend, Aparna who suggested I start blogging when I lost my dad and I was facing some personal challenges. 

Back to this card - the bee has been hand drawn and coloured by Aleeza, who is 11 now. She made it on printer paper and I had to give it much backing to make it suitable for a card. But use I had to since the bee is so cute. I wrote a hand written sentiment some 10 times only to give the idea as a sentiment did not fit with the layout. I have popped the embossed background on foam top as well as the nestie with the bee. The washi tape on the left completes the card. I doubled it to make it look more striking.

The background here has been water coloured on water colour paper by me.


Down below is the same card on a black and white background - which one do you fancy?

Hello toucan + good news

 Hello sweet peeps,

I have some good news to share today - the shop at my younger one's school agreed to keep my cards. So I handed them 33 cards in all. 

Now to the cards below. The first one was made by me while the second one was done by Aleeza. The green strip on the left was coloured with food colouring while the Sizzix die cut was painted with water colours pencils.





Down below is Aleeza's card. The strip on the left was done by Aleeza with acrylic paints. The die cut was painted with water colour pencils.





Happy card making,

Kids Summer Vacation Challenge - from Aleeza


Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made by Aleeza entirely on her own for her dad's birthday in December. Yes, as early as that!!! She hand drew the image and used her water colour pencils to colour it in. Two kinds of washi tape, pop up foam dots with a hand written sentiment and her card was all done. 


Happy crafting,

Monica
