Thank you

Dear bloggers,

Here is a quick card I made a few months ago with my new Sizzix papers. All I did was add a die cut sentiment in the centre. The paper was coloured with purple acrylic paint by Aleeza, my younger one. I know this card is simple and does not boast of any skills yet I like the colours and the flowers here.

I will enter this card in:

Oh so green card

Hello dear bloggers,

Thank you for your kind words on my previous post. With time, I will get used to Zeenya's going to the university. We do try and talk on the phone so that is a big blessing.

Now to my card which was made before summer holidays with food colouring in green and yellow. I tried some kind of smoosh and my own style. I die cut the green paper and stuck in a white die cut fern in the reverse bit. The sentiment is handwritten and it has been placed on foam dots for extra interest.

I will enter this card in the following:

Hello after such a long gap

Hello bloggers,

I sure have been busy - firstly we moved home luckily in the same complex and secondly my older one, Zeenya left for university yesterday. It was a time full of emotions but we seem to be okay so far. She has been such a helpful little elf to me with technology and so many other spheres. I will be brave and learn to be happy without her. She will be back for Christmas which makes Aleeza and me very excited.

I have not made a card in the last few months and my mojo seemed to evade me. Yet I put together this very quick card which seems a tad crooked. I have used foam pad under the white paper and the die cut was delicately pushed into the reverse side. I took a little bit of glue and carefully stuck the tree. The green paper is very pretty in real life but looks dull in the photo.

Happy blogging,

Kids Summer Vacation Challenge - from Aleeza

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made by Aleeza entirely on her own for her dad's birthday in December. Yes, as early as that!!! She hand drew the image and used her water colour pencils to colour it in. Two kinds of washi tape, pop up foam dots with a hand written sentiment and her card was all done. 

Happy crafting,

Monica
