Another charity sale at Zeenya's school


Hello bloggers,

Thanks to all the love and encouragement from you ladies, I managed to sell 51 of my 68 cards at Zeenya's school. That makes a total of 91 cards that I sold in both the schools.

Yippee! I was thrilled to bits... Of course a lot of credit goes to the children and their mums who bought my cards.

The card above is actually recyled from an Indian wedding card... All I did was to cut borders out of the old card and stick some sequins and punch out a round shape from the new love of my life - my Cuttlebug!
Stuck everything on gold card stock to make it look even more rich.

Below are some pics of the cards for the sale.

 This was a quick make with 3D stickers and pop up punches that I got from Hobby craft in London.
 Oh my lovely Cuttlebug - the ladies who bought these cards simply loved the embossed effect. They thought that I had bought ready made embossed paper.
 These reindeer were left over from another card and this is what I did with them.

Zeenya distressed and stamped this teddy bear... happily taken by a small girl in school.
 This was a card for little boys.
 Card for men.
 Famous paisley card done by mum - Zeenya distressed the image. The very first card to be sold!
 Peace signs by Zeenya... she did not think it was worth selling but it sold!
Puppy card.

Everytime I have a charity sale and it does well, I am on cloud nine...


I am linking the very first card on this post to Monique's blog - www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com/

Thanks again for your motivating and kind comments.

Love,

Monica
