Card by my older daughter - Zeenya

Hiya Everybody!

It's me - Zeenya, Monica's older daughter. Hope all of you are well. I have made a card after a very looong time 'cause I am so busy with homework etc... I thought I would post this card - my mum gets all the comments and why not me for a change??? LOL!

I made it from A to Z without ANY help from my mum what so ever!! I was pretty pleased with the result (don't mean to sound too show-offy though!)

I used polka dotted paper for the background which my mum got from the local bookstore.

The dark blue paper has been embossed with our new Cuttlebug machine.

The ribbon and yarn are from my mum's stash. The beads are from long back when I was around 3 and I had braided my hair in Krabi, Thailand.

The sentiment is from 'Whisper Words - Docrafts.

If you have the time, I would love to read your comments.

Hugs,
Zeenya

Do What You Love said...: Hi Zeenya, what a wonderful job you did with the beautiful blues....my favorite color! I love the circles and addition of the buttons as they definitely bring texture and coordinate well with the shapes. So does the beautiful ribbon. I love the embossing too - how simply adorable! You've done such an outstanding job! ;-); 17 October 2010 at 01:49

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.
