Hello with my seed beads

Hello sweet bloggers,

Thank you for your kind words on my last post which made me so very happy. How I wish for those days when I had time to blog... Never mind, I have much to be grateful for. 

Here is a card I have made with the papers which were sent by Terry and Shirley-Anne. Yes, as you may recall I do know how to preserve things. Lol. The red seed beads are from Indonesia which I found lying in green patches of the lovely school that my kids attended in Indonesia. The embossing folder is from a set by Sizzix I think. 

These awesome flower decorations for Chinese New Year were spotted by yours truly outside one of the classes in school and I believe they have been made from coffee paper.

Found this beautiful tropical flower smiling at me.

I had to share this 100 percent fruit cake picture with you. A mum had the guts to make a non-chocolate cake for her kid's birthday. I salute her. Lol.

See you soon,

Monica 

Hello there

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have pictures to share of Aleeza's 7th birthday party to share with you in this post. It was a musical party with lots of song and dance which was indeed an enjoyable affair. I sure was busy for a month before the party but it was all good fun and am so glad that everyone including I had a gret time.  

Here is a card I made for a friend who wanted it for the Chinese New Year. It is a Penny Black rubber stamp and I have covered the flowers with Sakura blooms punched with two shades of paper. For the flower centres, it was pearl dots.

Enjoy,

Hello!

Hello lovely bloggers,

I know I have been missing for a while now and that is because life has been hectic.

Here is a quick card to show you which I made a while ago. The embossed sentiment is my new purchase from the craft store. The buttons and lace are from my stash and that is it, really.

I am off to do some visiting now,

Monica 

Baby girl card

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is a card for the challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch. 

A short post from me today as dinner is waiting on the table. The image is a store bought one and I have stamped the sentiment and embossed the little rectangular paper.

Thank God it is Friday!

Monica

Hello

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here a card I made couple of days ago with my Hero Arts stamp and home made paper flowers. The stamp had delicate flowers on it but I decided to mask them.  Gosh, it seems forever since I made them. The sentiment is store bought and that is it, really.

I apologise that I am not able to send emails as yet. Thank you so much for the kind comments that you all have been leaving for me. Our home still needs much attention and that keeps me busy.

Happy day,

Monica 

Pictures from Christmas and our trip to New Delhi

Hello sweet bloggers,

Believe me, it feels good to blog... Here are pictures to share with you. I have many more but these are what were handy on my camera.

Happy New Year

Hello sweet bloggers,

I wish you a very happy new year and may it bring good health and cheer alongwith all that you wish for.

I have been missing as we went to New Delhi for ten days and spent New Year's Eve with my mum in the army club where she is a member (my late dad was in the Indian Army). Apart from that we had yummy food, met up with friends and relatives, laughed and generally just chilled out. It was wonderful and a much needed break for me. I will try and post pictures soon.

Here is my card to show you which I made a while back. The embossing has been done on packaging paper and the ribbon, image and gems are from my stash. The tag has been die cut from a natural bark. 

I promise to answer emails and visit your blogs soon.

Happy to be back,

Monica
