A card at last!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are fine where ever you are...

My blog has been taken over by Zeenya as you can see - help!!!

Thanks for the loving encouragement you have been giving Zeenya. She is not stopping... and I am not starting!!! Lol!

I made this card with my newly acquired Design block called Holy Flourish from Hero stamp. It is huge!!!

The holly leaves have been punched from my Carla craft punch and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Penny Black. The ribbon is from my stash.

I seem to be starved for card making ideas of late... I feel that my cards are not as good as the ones that you talented ladies make.

Anyway, I better not bore you with my waffling.

Hope you like this card.

Love,

Monica

This one is outstanding....love everything about it. It's a fabulous card for the holidays. Really like the little spigs of holly you punched out for it too. Great.
I think we all feel like you do at one time or another....if fact, I feel that way ALOT.
Tell Zeenya not to quit making cards - she's doing a fantastic job!

About Me

My name is Monica and I am a mother to two lovely girls aged 22 and 14. We moved back to Singapore in June 2014 after having lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Mumbai. I have a background in Psychology and Sociology Honours along with a post grad diploma in Journalism. I used to work in direct marketing for a premium hotel in India before I decided to become a stay at home mother. I have been creating and selling greeting cards for charity since 17 years. I often use unusual packaging material on my cards to respect and care for the environment. Presently, I share my cards as well as the proceeds from their sales with a shelter that houses and supports abused women in Singapore. Besides this, I run an initiative (UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY - UWS) on meditation, wellness, art and culture. You can find my page on Facebook under the name of UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY-UWS. I also hold mindfulness/wellness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. Besides, I hold Mindful Art and Card workshops for mothers and children.
