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

I am going to submit this for the Flowers and Lace challenge.

I have quilled the roses and the coiled shapes.

The flower pot has been dye cut from Sizzix mini punches. The flowers and the pot have been stuck on pink hand made paper.

This card was made for a charity sale and sold off in no time.

I love making cards with ribbons and flowers...

My ten year old daughter who is also my art critque cannot stand these cards... but I do like them because they are kind of natural and eco friendly.

I picked up these leaves from New Zealand - way back in 2002 and pressed them right away. Using them at last - better late than never...

The yellowish green tie and dye was done by my daughter on toilet tissue... she was just playing with vegetable dyes and I loved the final effect.

I am having my next card sale on May, the 26th and the proceeds will go towards buying school supplies for the children in a poor village in Indonesia.

My daughter and her fourth grader classmates will be going to visit the school early next month and they will hand over stationery, old clothes and bags to the children.

There are a total of 180 children in the village and we are planning to donate to all of them.

Am really excited. Getting posters ready to hang in the school to get maximum publicity.

Have about 60 cards to sell - hopefully we'll do well!

I made this card using ribbon that is over 9 years old... bought it from the haberdashery in John Lewis in London.

The handmade paper is from India. I like jute so thought of adding it. Did some pop up painting at the bottom which makes it look a bit tacky... did not turn out as I thought it would! :(

My life seems to have become more exciting after starting this blog...

Of course I have a long way to go before I get better at blogging but am glad that I started it.

It feels so good to talk to like minded people and share their views...

I was just trying my hand at stamping after seeing Allana's cards and so many others... and I just experimented with my Versamark multi-colour stamp pad.

Sorry could not read the name of the manufacturer on the paisley stamp.

The yellow ribbon is to hide a flaw in the card - I am a specialist at covering up errors! ;)

Guess, I am going to submit this card too for Susan's OLW challenge incase I have not missed the deadline ...
