Hi Everyone. Firstly Apologies for being AWOL last week as my Grand-Daughters Wedding was on Friday and time was running out for all the things I had to do. Really forgot it was Wednesday. This week has been busy as well but my Work desk is not too bad.  I'm at the other side of my workroom for a change, sewing a bag as a gift.  Weather has been very hot and certainly inside the house is not the best place to be. But needs must and so with windows open I set to work. Hope you have All had a lovely week and I'll be round later for a wee peek at your work desks. Hugs Rita xx

Christmas Card Challenge 18 :Two or More Patterened Papers

Hello Everyone. Well, another two weeks have gone by and here we are in the middle of August already.
Gran Margaret would like to see 2 or more patterned papers.  So I did manage to do a card using a Tartan paper and a lovely Red striped paper. I added to that a lovely big snowman that I decoupaged. Finished it off with some snow and a die cut sentiment.

 I am now looking forward to my Eldest Grand-Daughters Wedding  next week, you know it seems no time since they were all babies and now 3 of them will be married. The youngest one Molly got 100/100 for Art and that got her one of the A's needed for Glasgow School of Art. So proud of All 5 Grandchildren as they have turned out smart and lovely young adults.  Enough from me bragging now and I'll post Wedding Pictures in 2 weeks. I have a much looked forward break coming up in early September with Kate who is one of our ladies on CCC.     Hugs Rita xxxx

Hello Everyone. Hope your all fine and keeping busy, to those feeling poorly I send Hugs and hope things improve for you.
My desk this week is quite tidy compared to last week. Not long finished Wedding Invitations for my Grand-Daughters wedding on the 23rd August, so I really have has to catch up with Birthday cards etc, I have put a Ruby Wedding card at the foot of this post as some of you asked to see my flowers, these ones are made from silk foamiran and are lovely to do.  I has a Fabulous day with Elizabeth ( http://silverscrappers.blogspot.com/)  and her lovely husband Alan.  Hope you all have a Good Week.  Hugs Rita xx

Birthday Card for my Grand-Daughter in Law

Hi Folks. Well, is this not extreme weather for August, Sunshine then Torrential rain and Winds. Certainly Crafty weather anyway, so not going to complain too much.
My card today was made for my Grandson's wife and so using one of Sue Wilson's dies and using cream and pink card  with one of Inkylicious Sentiment stamps my card was made.Jennifer absolutely love it too.  I also finished a pair of 4ply socks for my cousin in Islay as winter time on the islands can be quite severe, plus she does love my socks.  Hope you All have a nice Week-End.      Hugs Rita xxxx

Hello Everyone, Apologies for missing last week as I was not at home and had no access to my PC. Anyway, here I am back again and would like to thank you all for the Welcome back comments. Lots to catch up on, but I'm sure you'll keep me right if I step out of line. Been card-making this week and ran out of flowers so yesterday I thought I better try and get some done. I should have clear my desk properly but as usual I put everything to the one side and made some flowers from silk foam. So guess what I'll be doing today, yes, clearing up properly as I really don't like working in a mess. Weather today on the West Coast of Scotland has been awful, but I got to craft so nothing to complain about really.  Have a Good Week and I'll see you next time. Hugs Rita xxx

CCC Challenge 16. Non-Traditional Colours

Hello Again.  Here we are at week 16 of our challenges and this time it was Sylvie's turn to choose the theme. Sylvie would like to see Non-Traditional colours for this one, so hopefully I've managed that.  I chose Black & White for my main card and using one of Imaginations Stencils and white sparkle medium on to a piece of Black card , sorry the sparkle doesn't show up very well.  I added a Peace die cut and layered the card up on to alternate white and black card.  The other cards were toppers from my stash and I thought it was a chance to use some of them up.  Hope you are all managing to keep yourselves cool as this very hot spell is set to continue.  Love & Hugs Rita xxx
