Get Well Soon Card

Hello lovely bloggers,

We are back in Indonesia at last - no matter how great Singapore is, there is no place like home.

My small surgery went off well and the biopsy is clear so I am more than relieved.

I have some good news to share - the hospital in Singapore where I had my surgery will be happy to receive my cards which they would in turn give to their patients. How nice is that? So I am going to parcel them to the Chief Nurse and she would do the needful.

Here is a card I made a while ago for Aleeza's teacher when the poor lady broke her ankle... and since she loves curry, I packed some chicken curry and Indian bread along. Yes, the chicken curry did not stain the card - thank heavens for that as I have done great things in the past. Lol.

This card is rather simple... the flowers are from Hobby Craft in the UK - have hoarded them for million years so much so that the foam dots have lost their sticking power. The tiny daisies are from a craft store in Mumbai called, "Something Special" - trust me it is like an Aladdin's cave. 

The green paper is handmade from India as well as is the paper out of which the leaves have been punched.

Simple but pretty, is it not? And it touched the heart of the recipient so what else could I wish for?

Hope you like it...

Happy to blog again.

With love and crafty hugs,

Monica 

Get well soon card for Ryan

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are all well and enjoying crafting.

I am sorry that some of you had trouble leaving a comment on my last post... the reason being not blogger but me, duh!!! I accidentally clicked hid on the comment button. Anyway had clicked on the right button and saved it.

Here is a card I made last night for Less is More, the theme being 'something that moves'.

I am going to be sending it for crafty Linby's brother's friend, Ryan who has had a pretty serious accident.

I hope he is in a better state by the time the card reaches him ( will take a month... yes, that long ).

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are having a good and relaxing Easter weekend... I certainly am...

This is a card I have made for Rosalee's 16 year old sister who had a farming accident  in Canada wherein she sadly lost three of her fingers. And here I am moaning and groaning about aching fingers and shoulders... shame on me, really!

I stamped my Hero Arts flower stamp on pearlised white paper (which was sent by kind Leigh) with Jim Holtz Ranger distress ink in crushed olive. I coloured in the flowers with my gold Sakura markers. 

The gold cord is from my stash while the green printed paper was also sent by dear Leigh. 

The sentiment is handwritten - am not too pleased with it to be honest. This card could have been more cheerful and somehow it doesn't seem right for a 16 year old. I do hope it cheers her up, though. And as usual, it looks nicer in real life.

Happy Easter to all of your lovely, lovely people out there.

Hugs,

Monica
