This card has sentimental value for me because I have made it with wrapping paper used to pack my birthday gift last year by a special friend.

When I received my gift I knew in an instant that I could recycle the paper...

It was a bit time consuming to cut out the heart, flower and butterfly but enjoyable at the same time.

I dressed up the butterflies with faux crystal and tiny flower embellishments. Glitter and pop up glue added the sparkle.

The strawberries on this card have been cut out of fabric that I bought from Spotlight in Singapore. The glitter added a sparkle to the strawberries. I just love this fruit!

The inspiration for this card came from a beautiful quilled lady bug card that a friend gave me for my birthday last year.

This card sold off in the sale on the 26th.

My daughter, Zeenya made these butterflies on black Crayola paper and she used special Crayola pencils that work well on a dark surface.
I highlighted the butterflies and flowers with metallic pens.
The cut outs were glued on to light blue card stock.

A lady happily bought it at one of my sales.

I had my famous charity card sale today... and as always it went off well. I think next time round, I am not going to be nervous any more because the cards seem to sell everytime.

I had my table outside near the backyard of the school - it was a hot day and I was a bit miserable because I don't like the sun. It tires me out!

But I am always on cloud nine around the time of my sale... I just love selling my cards.

I dry embossed this and glued it on to metallic green paper... sorry the picture quality is not the best.

For the shading I used pastel chalks from Dover craft. My daughter picked them up from a craft store in the UK thinking that they were eye shadows and that she could use them for dress ups!

I love using these chalks.

I had to change the name of my blog as the last name was over a kilometre long...
