Happy New Year!

Hello dear blogger buddies,

Here's wishing you all a very happy, healthy and OFCOURSE a creative 2011. 

I am sorry that I have been missing in action as I was attending an Indian wedding in New Delhi. I will try and find some decent pictures of the bride and post them next time. We had lots of fun with good food, wine and music. It was biting cold in Delhi but we managed to keep our spirits warm with Vodka and natural good spirits!! 

The card above was made for the bride to be but we FORGOT to carry it along as we made it minutes before we left for the airport. I promise that it looks much better in real life as the colours are too dull in the picture. Zeenya heat embossed the cake and I just added some quick embellishments and voila it was ready. Pity it is still lying with us!!! 



Yours truly at the wedding with my two girls - Zeenya wore contact lenses for the wedding.


These are some of my school friends I met up over for lunch in New Delhi - the wine added to our happy smiles apart from the fact that it was a lovely feeling to meet up with old buddies from school. I am the first from the left - in  pink.

I will try and catch up with all of you at the soonest. You cannot imagine how much you were all missed.

Hugs,

Monica

Hi Monica,
Welcome back to blog land! I love the color for the card.

I didn't realize India would be cold or is it the globe warming?

Hi and welcome back!!! Glad you had a nice time in New Delhi! Was it a 3-day wedding like most traditional Indian weddings? Our good friend's son got married in India and I think they had a 5 day affair!!

The card is beautiful with the gold. I have to make some wedding cards, so this helps inspired me!
