Ruby Anniversary Card & Bag

Good Morning Everyone.  This was a card I made last month but never found time to put it on my Blog.  Using mostly my Marianne dies for this one. I made the flowers in white and then gave them a good going over with seedless preserves distress ink.  The organza bow was made with ribbon from my stash.  Lovely to get time to share with you again.  Mind you I am still very busy and seem to be always chasing my tail.  Going to enjoy an afternoon of crafting today, or catching up on unfinished projects of which I have loads.  Have a Good Week.  Hugs Rita xxx

CCC Challenge 19 Hats and Gloves

Hello everyone. Another 2 weeks have passed and once again its time for the CCC Challenge 19 and our lovely member Kate has asked for Hats and Gloves this time.  Sorry Kate, but I only had a die for Mittens,  so I hope they will do and the snowman has his Hat on on though.  The last few days have been beautiful here in Ayrshire and it seems its set to continue too.  Its with much sadness that I have decided to step down from the Fiskars team that I really enjoyed, but it did not leave me with enough time for my other pursuits like knitting and sewing etc.  I really shall miss them terribly as you could not ask for better support from Fiskars and the team. Hopefully I can now find a bit of time for my blog again.  I honestly do appreciate all my friends and followers for still taking an interest in what I'm doing, creating or otherwise.  Hugs Rita xxxx

CCC Challenge by Carol. A Winter Scene

Here I am again , running late with this one.  So sorry Carol, time has been running away with me of late and it was only last night I realised it was time for your challenge.  Carol has chosen a Winter Scene for this challenge, so its mostly dies I have used for this one.  Some textured snow and glitter to give it some colour along with a stamp I embossed in gold and added a little gold ribbon bow to complete my card.   Going away to the lakes for a few days this week to attend the funeral of Andrews last surviving brother. Its been a really sad year for us all, but we must try and not dwell on what is past.  Hope you are all well and sending Hugs to you all.  Rita xxxxx
