Card by my older daughter - Zeenya

Hiya Everybody!


It's me - Zeenya, Monica's older daughter. Hope all of you are well. I have made a card after a very looong time 'cause I am so busy with homework etc... I thought I would post this card - my mum gets all the comments and why not me for a change??? LOL!


I made it from A to Z without ANY help from my mum what so ever!! I was pretty pleased with the result (don't mean to sound too show-offy though!)


I used polka dotted paper for the background which my mum got from the local bookstore.


The dark blue paper has been embossed with our new Cuttlebug machine.


The ribbon and yarn are from my mum's stash. The beads are from long back when I was around 3 and I had braided my hair in Krabi, Thailand.


The sentiment is from 'Whisper Words - Docrafts.


If you have the time, I would love to read your comments.


Hugs,
Zeenya

Mum's birthday card

Hello bloggers,

Today was a real hot and sunny day... And it was my mum's 69th birthday. I made this card at 12 midnight as that was the only time I could manage...Am not too pleased with it and the sentiment hardly shows... pity!

The lace on this card has a 90 year old history, yes, 90 year old history!!! Can you believe that? My great grandpa bought it from Europe in the 1920s. I am lucky that it was passed on to me. It cannot be seen well as the sentiment has covered it all.

The paper is from Terry's blog candy and the roses are home made.

Love,

Monica

Card with Terry's blog candy and home made flowers

Hello bloggers,

Today it poured buckets again and the clouds were as thunderous as could be and my two and a half year old kept saying,"Mummy, I scared, I scared!" Some parts of the city were flooded yet again.

I have made this card with paper from Terry's (http://terryeo.blogspot.com)  fabulous blog candy. Added my homemade flowers and  dried leaves from my flower press. The card stock is handmade from India. Thank you again, Terry!

The sentiment is handwritten... not impressed with my handwriting - rather shaky here. Generally it is not too bad. 

I got inspired by  Lynn (http://creativecraftsbylynn.blogspot.com/) to do a thank you card after reading her lovely post with her butterfly card. Thanks, Lynn.

Hope you like this card.

Thanks for visiting... If you wish to leave a comment I would love it.

Have a nice day where ever you are...

Love,

Monica

Some more for charity - still going with pink!!!

Hello everyone, I am back again... Here is another card for charity quite like the other one I posted today. I used my Inkadinkado stamp and I coloured it in with Do craft chalks... looks much nicer and brighter in real life.  :(  

The papers are from Cardmaking and Paper craft magazine - they came along with my subscription. Pity the pearlised chalks look bland in the picture. 

If you have a minute to zoom in on the picture, I promise you the colouring looks much better...

Wonder if you will like this card?

Love,

Monica



New batch of charity cards - pretty in pink!

Hi bloggers, hope you had a nice week end... I am yet to make cards with my blog candy from Terry but I made this on Friday.

This is for my next batch of charity cards. I am due to have a charity sale but since I have been donating online, I have not been able to work on that front.The pink flower stamp is from Inkadinkado (yippee - at last I can spell that!). I have heat embossed the image even though it does not show in the picture. The pink smudgy paper is what I painted while dabbing with a sponge and paint on paper with my younger one. 

The leaves are from my flower press and the lace from my stash. The Happy Birthday sentiment has been cut from a ribbon.

It is a rather simple card - hope you like it.

Love,

Monica



Terry's anniversary blog candy



Hi bloggers, it is Sunday, 11.30 am here and it is hot and very sunny - typical, unpredictable tropical weather...

Hope you are having a good weekend where ever you are...

My weekend was great because I  received Terry's anniversary blog candy at last.  Yippppeeeeeee!

I had to ask Terry to post it to the UK because I don't trust the post here. My hubby got it for me when he went there on work. At last!

Thank you, Terry! I am thrilled with my new goodies. I love them all but what I like most is the delightful assortment of papers.  I will show you what I create soon. Right now I am too excited to do anything!!! Sorry the picture is not very clear but I couldn't wait to show of my prize.

Love,

Monica



99 percent natural!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are having a good time crafting where ever you are...

Here is another card I made over the last two days... I kept sticking leaves and flowers and all sorts of natural stuff to it till I felt it was complete.

The dried leaves and flowers are from my flower press - the big green leaves that you see are curry leaves that are used as a spice in the south of India.

I have used handmade stock and the creamy paper on the background is handmade as well. Just stuck some natural stones (dyed red) to bring some colour to the earthy appearance.

The kitty stamp is from Inkadinkado - I did distress the paper but it somehow does not show in the picture.

Hope you like it.

Love,

Monica
