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!

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

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

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another stampless Christmas card made with cork stickers and a store bought sentiment stuck on a Spellbinder die linked together with red raffia.



Wishing you all a Merry Christmas,

Christmas is so close

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today - the snowflakes have been punched from the left overs of wedding paper.
The border at the bottom is actually dull gold but it looks brown in the picture. The gold dots which also appear brown are gold pop up glue. I cannot remember where the sentiment is from.


Wish you a happy Tuesday,

Monica

Hello there!

Hello lovely bloggers,

It is rainy season here in Singapore and it sure is raining cats and dogs. I am quite a lover of rain but this kind of rain is a bit much, you know.

It is Aleeza's assistant teacher's birthday this week so I offered to make a card for her. I cannot remember the stamp as I had this card half ready many months ago. All I did was finish it off last evening.
 I just love this cake and I have coloured it with my Prisma pencils. There are pretty rhine stones on the roses which were Aleeza's recommendation. The rose printed tape at the bottom is my latest buy from a craft store. I have embossed the bottom of the card and the ribbon punch has been woven through a beautiful patch of jacquard wall paper.



Here is a funny picture of Mona Lisa with Indian finery to bring a smile to your face.



Lots of love,

Monica
