Getting some more cards ready to sell

Hello bloggers,

I was getting cravings to post a card because it is already October the 3rd so here is my card:

Here is a baby card I made a few days ago.

I have used my Spellbinders nestie for the second time and am loving them.

Supplies ( pretty self explanatory):

Base card stock - white

Embossing on card stock - CB
Embossed baby pram - CB

Nesties - Spellbinders (love it to bits)

Ribbon - actually green and matching with the paper but looks blue in the picture!

Gems - Prima (actually got them here at a premium but am sooo chuffed)

Am going to enter this for the following challenges:
http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

http://www.cardcupids.org/blog/ - make a card and donate it or give it away

http://blingitonchallenges.blogspot.com/ - no patterned paper

http://pictureandscrap.blogspot.com/ - embossing and/or distressing

Catch you soon.

Hugs,

Monica

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.
