HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY: Yes, Christmas is coming soon

Yes, Christmas is coming soon

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have an order for seven Christmas cards so am trying to complete that. So here is yet another one with my new clear stamp from Technique Tuesday. I have used sparkly printed paper and shiny ribbon which matches the design of the printed paper. The image has been touched with my silver Sakura gel pen to let it sparkle even more. A small crystal gem in the centre completes the picture.

Down below is a birthday cake I ordered as a surprise for Aleeza's previous class teacher. And I called her home and we had a tiny celebration with the surprise cake.

Here is Aleeza and her ex teacher with the cake. Aleeza seems a bit tired after a long day at school.

I will enter my card in the following challenges:

Wish you a very nice 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.
