This one sold at the first bazaar!

Hello bloggers,

Hope all is well with you and yours...

I had like my fourth or fifth physio-therapy session for my fingers and fingers crossed, there is some improvement. It just feels so nice to keep my fingers under heat and then have them massaged.

Here is a card that I was not very pleased with but it sold off at the first bazaar and the lady who bought it seemed quite happy with it. I wanted to stick a bow on it but Zeenya said no. So I let it be the way it is.

On Wednesday is Aleeza's class Christmas party and I have to take a snack, knowing me I would rather take some paper and ribbon!!! Wish paper and ribbon could be eaten instead of food... lol.

My craft room is almost done but not quite - wish I had more time to post pictures.

Hugs and have a pleasant week,

Monica

Snowflakes...

Hello lovely bloggers,

Hope you are having a nice and relaxed weekend... I did some craft retail therapy and bought myself some stamps. Hopefully, I will not store them until next year or later!!! Lol.

Here is another card that I made  for the bazaars but it sold much later... The total count is 167 cards so far and I am rather chuffed.

I was quite happy with the way it turned out - CAS!

Supplies:

Card stock - white with slight texture

Aperture - Ek Success square punch

Red square - Another Ek Success punch

Big snowflake - metallic white paper MS layered two snowflakes with foam dots

Crystal - Prima

Small snowflakes - white punched with the same metallic white paper as the big snowflake

Silver dots in the centre of each snowflake - pop up fabric silver glitter glue

Am going to enter this card in Less is More - snowflakes.

Off to put Aleeza to bed, she napped in the afternoon so she seems all bright eyed and fresh now.

Hugs,

Monica

This one sold as well

Hello lovely bloggers,

My craft space is looking better and better. All I need to do is to clear out the little bits and pieces scattered around. I feel like just putting them in a box for the time being.

Here is a quick card I made for sale which sold quite quickly...

Supplies:

Base card stock -  metallic white

Printed paper - paper napkin (from Zeenya's friend's birthday party)

Embossing - CB

Sentiment - handwritten

Will come and visit soon.

Lots of warm, sunny wishes for those who live in cold climes,

Monica

The count is 161 cards!

Hello lovely people out there,

Thanks for the kind comments on my previous post... here is a card that sold for USD 4 which is a rather big achievement. One of my Japanese friends bought it quite happily. She loved the black and white faux Wedgewood oval embellishment. Thanks, dear Leigh for the same.

As you can see the sentiment is handwritten.

Have sold a total of 161 cards to date and it amounts to an approximate of  USD 500/- So I think it is time to send the money off to Japan Red cross.

Have a nice Wednesday!

Hugs,

Monica

Cute kitty!

 Hello bloggers,

Hope winter is not coming on too strong in some parts... wish you lots of sunshine.

Here is a card I made for the sale... the lovable kitty is from dear Sandra. The ribbons are from my stash. I stamped the flowers on baby blue paper with pearly Brilliant inks in pink, blue and beige. I cannot remember the name of the stamps. 

The mauve felt heart next to the kitty is kind courtesy Lynn and I stuck a Paper Mania heart on it along with some more around the page.

The ribbon says Happy Birthday but it could not be captured in the photo even though the picture was taken in broad sunlight.

Sunny wishes,

Monica

Featured blogger of the month

Hello lovely bloggers,

Hope you are having a nice and relaxed weekend... 

I am still trying to organize my craft space - it is 80 percent done. Thank God for that.

Here is the featured blogger of the month - Lovely Sasha at 

http://sashas-inspirations.blogspot.com/

I fell in love with Sasha's cards at the very first visit and she has been a great source of inspiration for me.

I love the way she uses soft colours to make her stunning cards.

When you visit her blog, you may have to scroll down to find her cards as her latest post dated November 29th talks about a nasty fall she had recently.

 I hope Sasha gets better soon so that she can create those beauties.

Happy weekend and thanks for all the love,

Monica

Commissioned card

Hello lovely people out there,

When I don't blog I feel strange as though something is missing from my life. Wonder if  you feel that way as well.

Here is a card I made for someone... I don't remember the stamp but I bought these clear stamps with lots of cars on them.

The twine, wool and mosaic are from my stash. I have sponged the embossed paper with fired brick.  The little 3D dots are pop up fabric paint in brown.                                                                                                                                                                       

I collected another chest of drawers this afternoon and hopefully I will be able to stock the rest of my supplies in there.

I am sorry that I have not been regular with my visits, but will certainly drop by soon.

Hugs until then,

Monica
