For CAS-ual Friday

Hello sweet peeps,

I would like to welcome my newest follower Lindsay - many thanks for joining my blog.

Down below is a card I have made for CAS-usal Friday, the theme being to stamp your own background. I have used my Hero Arts cling stamp which I had lying in my drawer for months. The stars were sent by Shirley-Anne and the buttons and blue cord are from my stash.

I will also enter this card in:

http://ladybugcrafts.blogspot.com/ - the colour blue

http://onecrazystampercom.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

http://addictedtocas.blogspot.com/ - masculine

Wish you a pleasant weekend,

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.
