You make me smile

This card is for the Mojo Monday 196.   I learned the tissue flower from Becca of Amazing Paper Grace,  with some tissue papers I saved.

Missing you

So, I am home-bound, I can't go for my yoga session and it is getting into me.  My fav instructor is back in India for his home leave, and he asked me to practice on my own, and he left me strict instructions to practice those poses that I need to work on (like stretching my hamstring) but I have not been doing much on my own.  I did go for some class during the past 2 weeks, with other instructors but did not work out much on my own.  I guess I have to start working out on my own for the next one week or I would lose my balancing strength and flexibility and the already tight hamstring would even be tighter, haiz.

I am into my 2nd card today, for the Mojo Monday 195

Materials used :

1.  ODBD stamp : missing you

2.  Pattern paper : K&Co, card stock : DCWV, core impressions : basic grey ornate collection

3.  MS punch

4.  Spellbinders pendant and nest

5.  Satin flower : HK

6.  Butterfly embellishment : KCK

You are the love of my life

Thursdays are always happy days for me, because it is my painting with Astrid day!   I just came back from painting class, feeling happy.   I chose a very difficult to paint photo this time round - clouds!   But I kept telling myself I can do this, just like in yoga, when the master wanted me to do some really difficult poses, I always tell myself, I can do this and try my hardest!   I might not be able to master it at once, but I am sure with practice, I can do it, likewise for my painting.

Here is another card I did with my newly purchased stamps from Heartfelt creations and spellbinders, for the Mojo Monday 185 contest.   Lily is my favourite flower and it gives me lot of joy to create this card.
