Basically natural X'mas card -- by Zeenya

Hi Bloggers,

It's me again! Once again, I got motivated to make another card, cuz of your awesome comments. I decided I was making way too many cards that were blue, so I made this Xmas card with green and red.  So usual!! 

All the papers including the card stock are handmade from India. The red paper is recycled from a wedding card (I think!! I get so confused with the amount of stuff my Mum has!!)

The stocking stamp is from 'Inkadinkado'. Then I cut the stocking out and stuck it with double sided foam tape. The beads are from MY stash (for once!!) LOL.

Love,

Zeenya xxx

A card at last!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are fine where ever you are...

My blog has been taken over by Zeenya as you can see - help!!!

Thanks for the loving encouragement you have been giving Zeenya. She is not stopping... and I am not starting!!! Lol!

I made this card with my newly acquired Design block called Holy Flourish from Hero stamp. It is huge!!!

The holly leaves have been punched from my Carla craft punch and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Penny Black. The ribbon is from my stash.

I seem to be starved for card making ideas of late... I feel that my cards are not as good as the ones that you talented ladies make.

Anyway, I better not bore you with my waffling.

Hope you like this card.

Love,

Monica

Zeenya strikes again!!


Hello Everybody!
Hope your weekend is going well.... My weekend is almost over as it is Sunday, 8:20 pm and counting... But lucky me! I don't have to sleep early for the next seven days - we have autumn break!! *YAY*
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my previous card. It encouraged me to make another one of my bluey cards! (BLUE ROCKS!!!)

I made this card, without any of my mum's help yet again… I’m so proud of myself!! LOL

The big blue and black polka dots are a stamp from 'Hero Arts' My mum went out and came back with a bag full of stamps today! I was thrilled! :D I went over them with glitter. And the outline with a metalic Sakura pen.

The ribbon is also new – it came in that lovely bag…  The wool is from her wool drawer.

I would love to read how you like this card.

Love and hugs,

Zeenya

Card by my older daughter - Zeenya

Hiya Everybody!


It's me - Zeenya, Monica's older daughter. Hope all of you are well. I have made a card after a very looong time 'cause I am so busy with homework etc... I thought I would post this card - my mum gets all the comments and why not me for a change??? LOL!


I made it from A to Z without ANY help from my mum what so ever!! I was pretty pleased with the result (don't mean to sound too show-offy though!)


I used polka dotted paper for the background which my mum got from the local bookstore.


The dark blue paper has been embossed with our new Cuttlebug machine.


The ribbon and yarn are from my mum's stash. The beads are from long back when I was around 3 and I had braided my hair in Krabi, Thailand.


The sentiment is from 'Whisper Words - Docrafts.


If you have the time, I would love to read your comments.


Hugs,
Zeenya

Mum's birthday card

Hello bloggers,

Today was a real hot and sunny day... And it was my mum's 69th birthday. I made this card at 12 midnight as that was the only time I could manage...Am not too pleased with it and the sentiment hardly shows... pity!

The lace on this card has a 90 year old history, yes, 90 year old history!!! Can you believe that? My great grandpa bought it from Europe in the 1920s. I am lucky that it was passed on to me. It cannot be seen well as the sentiment has covered it all.

The paper is from Terry's blog candy and the roses are home made.

Love,

Monica

Card with Terry's blog candy and home made flowers


Hello bloggers,

Today it poured buckets again and the clouds were as thunderous as could be and my two and a half year old kept saying,"Mummy, I scared, I scared!" Some parts of the city were flooded yet again.

I have made this card with paper from Terry's (http://terryeo.blogspot.com)  fabulous blog candy. Added my homemade flowers and  dried leaves from my flower press. The card stock is handmade from India. Thank you again, Terry!

The sentiment is handwritten... not impressed with my handwriting - rather shaky here. Generally it is not too bad. 

I got inspired by  Lynn (http://creativecraftsbylynn.blogspot.com/) to do a thank you card after reading her lovely post with her butterfly card. Thanks, Lynn.

Hope you like this card.

Thanks for visiting... If you wish to leave a comment I would love it.

Have a nice day where ever you are...

Love,

Monica

Some more for charity - still going with pink!!!

Hello everyone, I am back again... Here is another card for charity quite like the other one I posted today. I used my Inkadinkado stamp and I coloured it in with Do craft chalks... looks much nicer and brighter in real life.  :(  

The papers are from Cardmaking and Paper craft magazine - they came along with my subscription. Pity the pearlised chalks look bland in the picture. 

If you have a minute to zoom in on the picture, I promise you the colouring looks much better...

Wonder if you will like this card?

Love,

Monica
