Smile plus Guided Meditation Workshops

 Hello bloggers,

I have been away due to some health issues which are certainly on the mend. As I may have shared earlier, I host Guided Meditation/Science of Happiness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. I hosted the first session of a five week long course at home last Monday. We had to keep the numbers at no more than five. I have to say it went well.

This card was designed by Aleeza many months ago and I randomly put hydrangeas on the heart to bring more life to it. The filigree heart and sentiment has been die cut using paper that was treated with smoosh or something similar. The background paper was also done with water colours many months back. 

I will participate in the following challenges:

Commissioned card for a music lover

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a quickish kind of card for a music lover who loves pink besides music. The embossing, sponging, and layered flower left me feeling quite happy.

I don't know whether I shared the news regarding the sale of 20 cards to the Parent Association in my younger one's school. This was three weeks ago and another reason to feel chuffed.

I will take part in the following challenges:

For my daughter's 21st

 Dear bloggers,

Here is a card that I have put together for my older one's 21st birthday which is on the 19th. I am so grateful for the lovely human being she has turned out to be. In fact I learn so much from her. She is studying overseas and I am sure she will have a nice time with her friends. 

The pink polka dotted designer paper is a local brand from Singapore while the light pink printed paper is from my stash. I had won it almost 10 years ago in a lucky draw. 

The ribbon is from my stash as are the numbers. The little white nestie was embossed with the polka dots embossing folder to match it with the designer paper. The nesties were layered for more interest but on second thoughts may be I could have let the outermost layer be. My older one loves pink so I think she will like this card.

Comissioned happy birthday card

Dear sweet bloggers,

Here is a commissioned card made with a Penny Black rubber stamp. I stamped the image many years ago when I was still learning how to colour in and somehow was not too impressed with the colouring.

I have paper pieced the baker's cap and had to cover an ink mark with the pink hand tied bow. The designer paper is from a local Singapore brand and I do so like it even though it is a tad formal for the cute image. I have used ribbon on the right with a printed sentiment on it.

The lady who ordered it wanted me to make something related to baking for her friend who is a baker. So I thought this card was perfect.

Live Love Laugh

Dear bloggers,

This card has been made with the same gift wrap that I have used in the earlier cards that I have posted. I managed to make three cards out of the same paper. The die cut sentiment was made from handmade paper from India. There is washi tape on either side of the card and that pretty much completes it.

Partly recycled thank you

Dear sweet bloggers,

Here is the third card I have made with the last bits of a wrapping paper that a lovely friend used to pack a gift for me. Behind the image, is a green layer that has been painted with acrylics and behind that is designer paper in grey with Chevrons. The paper is a Singapore brand. The gold cord has been hand tied and the sentiment has been die cut from a pair of gold paper party goggles. I hope you like this card as I much as I did. 

 

I will enter this card in the following challenges:
