Zeenya's Moving On Ceremony...



Hello lovely bloggers,

 My older daughter, Zeenya had her Moving On Ceremony today... She enters Middle School in August...

This is the card I made for Zeenya in a real jiffy. I have hand drawn the graduation hat and coloured it in with my Darwent water colours. The roses are made my me so is the red tassle. I have used a Hero Arts Life of the Party stamp for the background. I rolled up a small piece of paper for the certificate...At the bottom is a Martha Steward border punch.







Zeenya receiving her certificate from her Principal...

 


With her class teacher...



Some of her buddies...




Some more buddies...



My buddy and me... she is relocating back to Australia.

I am the one in black and white incase you are wondering!

Enjoy!!!

We are leaving for three week break tomorrow evening...

So pardon me if I am missing... But I will try and visit you if I can.

Hugs,

Monica





A commissioned card

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are enjoying summer and all it's beauty.

Here is a quick card I made for a lady who lives in our complex. She wanted it for a friend who was moving to another country.

The house stamp is from Hero Arts and I have used my  Archival metallic blue ink pad to stamp it.

The clouds are stickers that came from lovely Terry - thank you, Terry for all that delightful stuff you sent me.

The ribbon roses are from my stash and so are the gems and the butterfly.

The strip at the bottom is actually a wall paper sample. I did a bit of touching up on the stamped image with my Sakura pens.

I wanted to write something more meaningful but that is all that the label would hold...

The lady did like the card and I sold it for USD 3.5.

Happy crafting with lots of hugs,

Monica

From an angel...



Hello bloggers,

I have been falling behind with blogging so I thought that I MUST do a post today to make up for that...

I have made this card with my new Q.T. Hooty Owl Stamps from Pink Cat Studio sent to me by an angel... Sorry, cannot disclose the name but know that she is adorable, kind and loving.

I have used blue cardstock as the base and the have stamped the image with Stazon black. The image has been coloured with Darwent and Sakura glitter pens. The sides of the stamped paper have been distressed with Broken China. The ribbons and gems are from my stash.

Don't you love these owls and the sentiment is fantastic, isn't it?



I was just doodling with Aleeza on the dining table this morning and this is what I copied from a picture in the newspaper... Aren't you impressed???

Have a nice weekend.

Hugs,

Monica



Featured Blogger - Helen of Let's create

Hello lovely peeps,

Hope you are having a nice Wednesday. It is 8.40 pm as I write this post... Today was a busy day indeed. Met a lovely friend for coffee and then had three children over for a playdate but only two turned up which is just as well... Aleeza was thrilled.

Now to the featured blogger of the month - Helen of http://helenmade.blogspot.com/ 

Helen is an amazing crafter - she does origami, crochet, quilling, you name it... EVERY paper craft under the sun!!! Her level of patience with crafting is almost unbeatable.And she is always there to help out incase you are stuck with any blogger problems.

And to top it all she has a heart of gold. Thank you, Helen, for making my crafting journey so wonderful. I really appreciate your kindness in every which way.

Do leave Helen some blog love whenever you get the chance - worth every second of your time.

Am off to do some commenting now...

Hugs,

Monica

This card sold as well...

Hello bloggers,

Thanks for your lovely comments on my last post...

You know what my older one is going to be entering Middle School in August so their moving on ceremony is on the 9th. She will move to a bigger campus which is going to be different from the elementary one. I feel a bit sad at the thought saying goodbye... I have got so attached to her elementary school. Such a warm and caring environment and such lovely staff as well.

Enough waffle there... now to this card... simple card which i made in minutes.
The embossing has been done with my new Cuttlebug folder - just LOVE it.

I have used metallic white paper for the embossing which was sent to me by Leigh (http://www.charitycrafter.blogspot.com/) and stuck it with foam dots on metallic silver grey paper.

The blue sentiment is a ribbon which says  "it's a boy" and congratulations has been embossed with Cuttlebug as well. Looks far better in real life, to be honest.

The blue beads are from my stash.

Happy crafting and hugs,

Monica

I have sold 105 cards for Japan Red cross so far... yippeeeeeee!!!

Hello, my lovely, cheerful, motivating, loving and encouraging bloggers,

I am still unable to comment on some of fave blogs... Google - uuuurghh! Never mind, I hope things get better.

I have managed to sell 105 cards so far and now I must put a stop till I get my next batch ready...

Now to this card - I managed to sell it - yippee!!! For USD 3.5!

I have used  a Hero Arts stamp on this card which has been coloured by Zeenya using Darwent water colour pencils in those good ol' days when she used to take interest in crafting... no longer, though!!! Sob, sob, sob!

The edges of the paper on which the image is stamped have been distressed with Wild Honey while the brick background is new gift wrap.

The woollen yarn at the bottom is what I bought when we went to Singapore a while ago.

The flowers are home made with flower punches from Carla craft and I have added a blob of 3D pop up fabric glue to their centres. I distressed and crushed the paper before punching out the flowers.

The sentiment is hand written on that little tablet which was sent to me by Shirley-Anne.

Hope you like it... I have used this stamp earlier but it is always a hot favourite for some reason. I do like it, I have to say.

Hugs,

Monica

Blogger and google playing up again...

Hello lovely bloggers,

I am sitting on my computer and am trying my best to visit you but Google is playing up again. I was able to leave comments on some blogs though...but not on most!

Please don't give up on me... I will come and visit you when Google allows me.

Hugs and lots of "I miss yous",

Monica

Apologies all!

Dear, dear blog buddies,

This is a short post to apologise as I am not able to comment on anybody's blog today as my gmail is playing games and I simply don't know why. I have had several failed attempts to comment on Sandra's blog as well as FatMonica's so I am giving up for now.

So please just bear with me... I will visit soon.

See you as soon as Google behaves.

Hugs,

Monica

Card with Shirley Anne's paper and Lynn's flowers

Hello bloggers,

This is a birthday card I made this early morning as I could not sleep - got up at something like 3.30 am!!!

The lovely paper is from Shirley-Anne - all I did was to distress the sides with Crushed Olive.

The ribbon, butterfly, (from Carla craft punch) sentiment label and flower have been distressed as well with Crushed Olive. This is the first time I have distressed designer paper and ribbon!

The yellowish green flower is from Lynn's goodies - what a co-incidence that it matched perfectly! I stuck a yellow satin rose in the centre of the layered flower.

The white flower behind the green one has been die cut with my Sizzix mini flower die. I do love it as it is so versatile!

I am going to enter this in the following challenges:

http://bunnyzoescrafts.blogspot.com/ - lace
http://ccmspotlight.blogspot.com/ - challenge yourself to try something new

Thanks for visiting and I do hope you like my simple creation...

Hugs,

Butterfly from Sandra's treasure box

Hello, you lovely people out there,

Thanks for your lovely comments on my last card and the warm welcome back. Sure I am happy to be back in my haven!

Here is a quick card I made on Saturday as Zeenya (my older one) had to attend a birthday party and we had like ten minutes to get a card ready.
I have used navy blue card stock as the base and the butterfly is from Sandra's lovely treasure box... you cannot imagine how much that pretty treasure box could house all the way from the UK!!!

Sorry, the sentiment is not very clear in the picture - it says Happy Birthday.

The blue paper that you see is handmade from India.

The ribbon is from my stash - my ribbon drawer is in urgent need of organization. I try to do clean it every few months but it lands up looking messier than ever before. Lol!

Zeenya actually liked it without being critical and I was happy not to over do my fingers...


I am going to enter this for Less is More - the theme of which is butterflies this week.


Hugs,

Monica

PS: By the way, the world did not end yesterday???

With love from Lynn!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are happy and healthy...

This post comes after a long gap and believe me I was kind of getting cravings to post something...

Here is a card I made with Lynn's delightful candy... kiddy's cards are always a big hit for some reason.  I love this teddy sticker and the self adhesive hearts. Thank you, Leigh!

The sentiment - SWEET TREATS is handwritten and the cupcake embossing folder is my new buy as well...

Wish you a pleasant Monday where ever you are...

Hugs,

Monica

Our weekend on a small island!



Hello bloggers,

Here are some pictures of our long weekend trip to Lombok - an island that is a twenty-five minute flight from Bali and a one and half hour flight from Jakarta. The beach was so pristine and untouched - quite a novelty in Asia, really.

Sorry, that the roof of the beach hut has come in the picture.



This is my little one, Aleeza making a funny face if you please! She simply refused to get into the sea even for just a dip or into the pool. Since dear husband could not come along I had to be with her... so I could not swim at all. Never mind!

Hugs,

Monica

Thank you, Lynn!

Hello bloggers,
Hope you are well and happy...
Here are the fab goodies that Lynn sent me last week. Such lovely embellishments and stamps, rub-ons and what not. Lucky, lucky me...It doesn't rain, it pours... in a good way, I mean.

And look at this lovely card that came along with the goodies. I love the bicycle and the basket of flowers at the back. The sentiment is just right for me, Lynn. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Actually I am short of words to express how I feel - that does happen to us sometimes, right?

Better get down to some serious crafting now.

I will come and do my rounds as soon as I can.

Hugs,

Monica

Slow down and take time to smell the flowers...

Hello bloggers,

Thanks for the comforting words about my fish...
I feel better already! I seem to have gathered serious information on the psychology of goldfish in the bargain - now does that sound fishy? Lol!

Now to my card - I have used metallic cream cardstock and I have stamped the turtle with my Peachy Kleen clear stamp on a light green card stock. It has been coloured with my Darwent water colour pencils. I went over the outline of the turtle with my Sakura pen in green and gold.
The bits of gold paper is actually a new gift wrap with a great texture. 
The hand-torn strip of paper at the bottom was originally cream which I distressed with Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge. I went over the sides with Crushed Olive.
The three bead look alikes are coffee beans and the sentiment is handwritten. I just think that life is just so busy that we don't take enough time to smell the flowers.
The flowers have not been made by me but are from my stash. 
I do like the sentiment, what do you say?

I am going to enter my card in the following challenges:

Less is More - my first time

Hello bloggers,
Thanks for all the love you have been leaving me for my blogoversary. I cannot believe that my little blog is one year old!!!


Hope you all are happy and feeling your best...


The girls and I have been down with a flu' and to top it all one of our gold fish died - she just jumped out of the fish bowl and committed suicide! I discovered its' absence in the middle of the night when I went to eat a midnight snack and it sure did break my heart. I kept staring into the bowl thinking it would magically appear from somewhere. But it didn't and I went to bed  a trifle sad. Next morning, Zeenya found the dead fish lying on the floor by the side cabinet. 
Anyway, one has to move on, right, so what I did was to buy another fish immediately to tide over the loss. People go through much more in life so this is just miniscule, I guess.


That was enough waffle there...


Now to this card - I have been tempted many a time to participate in Less is More but somehow could not get down to it. However this time, I made a serious effort because the challenge was 'white on white'.

I have used my new embossing folder which I bought over the net alongwith some more crafting goodies. The sentiment has also been embossed as you can see.
I have made the flowers with my Ek Success scallop punch - it was easy peasy for a change. I just sprayed some water on the punched shape, crumpled it up and shaped it with a quilling tool. The one in the centre has two punched scalloped flowers while the ones on the sides have a single flower. I finished off the flowers with flat pearls in the centre.


Hope you like my card. Would love it if you leave me a comment.


Hugs,


Monica

Hi bloggers,


As I mentioned in my blogoversary post, I would be featuring a beautiful blogger each month and here is my first:


Dear Sandra of http://www.rosepetalcreations.blogspot.com/


You know when I started blogging last year, I used to secretly crave for those awards, yes yearn for them, waiting when I would receive my first... and guess who was the first one to give them to me? Yes, you got it, it was none other than Sandra, the lovely Sandra. And then she went on to give me the second award followed by the third one - I just felt so proud to post them on my side bars... It meant so much to me.


Sandra makes the most beautiful layered cards with  much grace and beauty. She manages to find the cutest images to use on her cards and her colour schemes are always so wonderful. Her papers are the prettiest on the block, you can check them for yourself...seeing is believing, right?

She is a blogger with a such a gentle and kind heart... always leaveing me with encouraging words to read. I am a big fan of you and your cards, Sandra!


Hugs,


Monica

Tomorrow my blog completes a year!

Hello lovely bloggers,
Tomorrow my little blog completes one year...


No fancy giveaways or anything close - rather far from it.
However I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that blogging has changed my life for the better.

I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the love and motivation I have received from my regular followers who visit me come rain, shine or snow!

Never did I imagine in the wildest of my dreams that this journey would be the discovery of a whole new world full of great crafters who have so much to share... I have learned so much and more from you all.


Thank you to you and you and you!!!


Blogging has become such a serious addiction that I seem to have little time for anything else - including housekeeping and cooking!!! Lol!


There is something NEW I want to start tomorrow and here is a peek:


I would like to do a special monthly feature on a blogger (old or new) who has touched my heart.

It is just my way of paying forward all that I have gained in blogland...


Incase any of you have any suggestions on this, I would love to hear them.

Sorry for all that waffle - but hey, it's MY day !!!


Hugs,


Monica

Yippee - this one sold for USD 4 as well

Hi bloggers,

Hope you are keeping well and happy...

You may be fed up of this shoe card that I keep posting in with different shoes but it seems to be a HOT favourite and sells rather quickly. It sold for USD 4 - am so chuffed about that. This is the second card that I have ever priced for this much so far...but it makes me happy that my work is being well received.

By the way 22 out of 24 cards that Helen sent sold off! Thanks, Helen! Her blog is worth a peep for sure.

The doily stamp is from Paper Mania (I stamped it with Tim Holtz distress ink  - fired brick) 

The shoe stamp is from a set of Hero Arts clear stamps. I went over the outline with a Sakura nail pen in black and coloured it with my Marvy brush marker in red. The distressing has been done with the same fired brick distress ink.

Then, ran the rectangular piece of paper through my Cuttlebug.

I have made the flowers  with my Ek Success scalloped punch. The  tiny stems have been cut free hand.

The ribbon is from my stash.

The sprig have been punched from my Carla craft punch.

The sentiment is handwritten but not my own - I have copied it from the stamp as it would not fit if I stamped it directly on the scalloped flower nestie.

I am going to enter this for the following challenges;

I love this sentiment

Hello bloggers,


Here is my second post for the month of May - rather quick and simple. And it sold!


I am confessing  a weakness today - I LOVE buying fancy gift wrap and have collected so much that I seem to be falling short of space to keep it. So am planning to get new craft cupboards but not planning to work on this obsession! Lol! Crazy, isn't that???

This card was made with new gift wrap.
I do like this sentiment - sorry, I am too lazy to go and check out where the stamp is from...I think it is from Penny Black.
The mosaic, stars and ribbon are from my stash.


Happy crafting with lots of hugs,


Monica


PS: By the way, this sentiment -
"ANGELS CREATE MIRACLES AND SO DO OUR FRIENDS" 
reminds me of my kind blogging buddies who are such a delightful addition to my crafting world.

This card sold for USD 4

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are enjoying May in all it's glory... mind you, in Asia May is one of the hottest months with the mercury touching 48 degrees celcius and over in some cities...  it can be a bit of a torture, you know. We are lucky to be in Jakarta where it never gets too hot. And if it does, the heavens smile by sending us rain and we are cool again.

Okay, that was some waffle there and now to some more rambling about this card. Notice how small the picture is - well, that is because I did not colour in the face well and that was the only way to hide the flaws. 

The stamp is from Hero Arts and I have used different embossing folders with my handmade flowers (sadly, I seem to have used up most of my flowers :( and with my fingers the way they are, it will be a while before I make some more.
I added touches of glitter to the dress to make it look glam.

And guess what, for the VERY first time, I gathered all my guts to sell this card for USD 4/ - yes, for the very first time! And it was the first card to be sold from the batch. So I am doing something right!!!

Hope you are having a nice day, evening, night where ever you are...

Sold 84 cards for Japan Red cross so far...

www.

Hello bloggers,


See, I could not resist blogging... so am back! Thanks for your good wishes - my fingers will get better soon, I guess.

This is a card I have made for an order... remember I made the same card in blue a few days ago? The lady who wanted to buy it wanted it in pink - so here it is. Thanks, Sandra for the cute sheep.

The pink background paper with touches of blue is actually wall paper !!! The buttons are from the extras that come  along with clothes and the safety pin has been recycled as well. The grey base under the sheep is a price tag from a garment. The ribbon is from my stash. Aren't you impressed???

I am going to enter this for Monique's weekend linky party at www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com/

By the way, did anyone see the Royal Wedding? I did and found it so light and relaxing to watch telly for a change... I felt I was transported to another world - sometimes we need these kind of happy distractions, you know. I thought Kate looked really elegant in her wedding gown. I do sooooo hope this marriage stays forever.

Hugs,

Monica

Apologies for not being regular with my visits.

Hello bloggers,

I hope you are well, healthy and crafting away...

This is a short post to say that I have been a bit busy oflate. Thus I have not had enough time to come and visit you all. I promise I will do that at the earliest. You know, I suffer from withdrawal symptoms if I don't. Lol!!!

I have painful finger joints as a result of over use, so am trying to keep away from the computer and card making - sob, sob!
Do bear with me...I also want to apologise for taking so long to post some wonderful awards that I have received. Thank you so much!




Helen and Khush, I will also do the tagging stuff soon.

Thanks again for making my world bright and happy which helps me to spread it further in my own little way.

Hugs,

Monica

Thank you, Helen!

Hello bloggers,

Last night I was happily surprised when my hubby handed over a brown paper parcel to me... When I opened it what popped out were these amazingly beautiful cards sent by Helen of www.helenmade.blogspot.com/ Thank you, Helen! The cards are just so very pretty.

What I did this morning was to pack these beauties in plastic sleeves and send them off to hubby's office. They have already started selling...

I consider myself lucky to have entered a whole new world out there... thank you, dear bloggers for all your love, encouragement and generosity - in which ever way. It means the world to me... I am so grateful to have met such a nice bunch of crafters.

Hugs,

Monica

Art and Craft by three-year olds

 Hello bloggers,

Aleeza, my three-year-old made this basket in school for Easter. I thought the teacher did a good job of recyling a milk carton!!!
Sorry for posting it this late...

 This is the side view of the carton...sorry all the chocolates
were eaten away by the time this picture was taken...Lol! Now I know why my waistline is expanding!!!


This card was made by Zeenya a few weeks ago. She made it with designer paper that I had won as candy in a lucky draw on Terry's blogversery last year.

She dressed up the paper with pop up fabric paint, glitter glue and metallic Sakura pens.

Catch you later...

Hugs and thanks for visiting,

Monica





Hello bloggers,

Hope you are having a good and relaxing Easter weekend... I certainly am...

This is a card I have made for Rosalee's 16 year old sister who had a farming accident  in Canada wherein she sadly lost three of her fingers. And here I am moaning and groaning about aching fingers and shoulders... shame on me, really!

I stamped my Hero Arts flower stamp on pearlised white paper (which was sent by kind Leigh) with Jim Holtz Ranger distress ink in crushed olive. I coloured in the flowers with my gold Sakura markers. 

The gold cord is from my stash while the green printed paper was also sent by dear Leigh. 

The sentiment is handwritten - am not too pleased with it to be honest. This card could have been more cheerful and somehow it doesn't seem right for a 16 year old. I do hope it cheers her up, though. And as usual, it looks nicer in real life.

Happy Easter to all of your lovely, lovely people out there.

Hugs,

Monica



61 cards for Japan Redcross so far...

Hello bloggers,

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods...

Here is a card I finished today...

I have used pearly white cardstock.

The designer paper is hand block printed from India.

The little bit of crushed gold paper is handmade and from India as well.

The sentiment is from a Sizzix embossing folder.

Some of the flowers have been punched and I have stuck sequins on them.

The metallic daisies are actually confetti from Paper Chase. I just shaped each daisy with the end of a satay stick.

This card looks far prettier in real life... that is sadly often the case with me. 

Anyway I do hope you like it.

I am going to enter this card for the following challenges:

Thank You Card

Hello bloggers,

It is a nice Tuesday morning as I write this post to you all and the time here is 11 am.

This is an aperture card and it went haywire because I did not use my newly acquired Ek Success punch properly. So from a square this is what it finally came to be - a rectangle which is just as well because the sheep fits in well.

This cute sheep came in the adorable treasure box from dear Sandra.

The paper is actually new gift wrap that I bought for it's crackled appearance.

The ribbons are from my stash. The safety pin is from a garment tag while the buttons are the extras that come along with shirts and stuff like that.

The sentiment is handwritten - isn't it cool??? Thank you from the 'baatom' of my heart! I promise I did not copy that from anywhere - it is my creation!

I am going to enter this in the following:

Christmas card

Hello bloggers,

Sunday is over and here is Monday... kids off to school and I am on the computer... 

it is 11 am as I write this post to you all lovely bloggers out there. I hope you had a nice weekend. We went to an amazing Italian restaurant called Tuscano yesterday for lunch and I do think it was by far the best Italian cuisine I have ever had. I think it beat the food in Rome!!!

Now to this card - Sandra had sent me these very lovely stamps some time ago for Zeenya (who is going through an off-craft phase - sad, sad, sad). So I decided to make use of these awesome stamps.

 I stamped the image on creamy beige multi shaded cardstock. 

 I coloured in a few elements of the image with Sakura gold along with Uniball coppery silver pen instead of using traditional colours.

It looks quite nice in real life unlike the picture which is rather bland. 

The picture does looks better on zooming in though... I have used gold cord on the side to finish it off and also faux tiny gems here and there to make it look more lively. 

Have a nice Monday!

Lots of love,

Monica

A quick card with sweet Sandra's goodies!

Hello bloggers,


Good evening! It is almost 5 pm as I post this card...


I have made this with the delightful craft candy that Sandra sent me in that lovely treasure box... 


I hope you like my card...It took me all of 15 minutes to make it. I do so like such quick makes for selling! Isn't it cute?


The sentiment is handwritten.


The ribbon at the bottom is from my stash. Everything else is from that treasure box which I love to bits. Thank you, Sandra!


Wish you happy crafting, good health and cheer where ever you are.


Lots of love and hugs,


Monica

Thank you, Shirley-Anne

Hello bloggers, 

I am back again to show off my booty yet again... this time from dear Shirley-Anne - THANK YOU so much for your kindness. I received a beautiful array of stickers, super-duper embellies and designer paper from her.

Here is the lovely handwritten note from Shirley-Anne which I will treasure for ever... check out those lovely stickers on either side - my faves!

Such a generous collection of designer paper... yaaaay!!! Lucky me!

And here's what I created this morning with Leigh's and Shirley-Anne's goodies. The hearts on the top left are from Shirley-Anne while the paper used on this card is from Leigh. Someone in hubby's office asked me to do a card for his niece - a seven-year-old girl who loves hearts! 
The sentiment is handwritten - you did not have to guess that, right?


Thank you, Shirley-Anne! I love everything you sent me... 


Hugs,


Monica
