Night Owl!!!

Helloooo there :0)

As I write this blog post on Saturday, I'm quite literally blowing the dust off my computer keyboard here as we are in the middle of building works at home..... despite covering everything with dust sheets all week it still finds it's way in to leave a tell tale layer!!!
Access to my craftspace has been limited too which is why I'm sharing a card I created for Octobers Craft Stamper magazine so I apologise if you've seen this before...

I've used the Paper Smooches sets called Autumn Groves, Chubby Chums* and My Peeps* to make this night-time woodland scene. The sky has been inked on the base card over a circle mask to give a bright white moon. The owl is nestled on the edge of the window aperture and the trees are placed at different heights behind it to give the scene some depth. 

The fun sentiment is quite good for a 'Well done' style of card or simply a quick 'Hello' ..... a bit different from the chilling screeches the Tawny Owls use in the woods near us at night!! Perfect for Halloween last week!!

Thanks for stopping by today :0)

Looking up!

Hey! It's Monday again! and things are looking up!   I was inspired by the lovely Paper Smooches for my card this week!   Zoo Crew and My Peeps combined.. coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.. with some support from WPlus9 Heartfelt Mix and Love Birds.

Pop on over to Make the Day Special and check out these gorgeous stamp sets!

Part 2!

Hey there everyone. It’s Ruby.  Sorry this will be a very quick post from me today because I’ve not been very well and still don’t feel great so can’t stay on the computer too long at a time. 

I made this little notebook last week using Paper Smooches My Peeps to match the card I made my friend. I also made her a flower brooch to go with it, I thought the colours blended quite well so it felt like I was giving her a matching gift set.

This was my card from last week…

Finally this is the little crochet flower I made for her…

All I need to do now is actually post it to her!

Until next week …

One Cool Chick

Hi there, it’s Ruby.  I hope that if you’re having snow it's not causing you too much hassle.  We have been stuck in a couple of times but I decided to use it as an opportunity to wind down a bit and learn some crochet.  It’s been on my to-learn list for-ever!  So far I can do a flower and a granny square!

Today’s card is for a lovely lady I haven’t known very long.  She is the most generous, kind, and fun person I’ve ever met.  So very knowledgeable, I feel really privileged to have met her.  She has been giving me lots of her time and guidance recently so I wanted to make her a little thank you.  I thought this proud peacock was up to the job!


I used Paper Smooches My Peeps.  For the top left I just stamped the one feather five times to make that five arrangement and coloured it in.  For the beautiful peacock I used the following sets;

• First fan: 5
• Second fan: 2, 3, 2
• Third fan: 2, 2, 2, 2

As you can see the sentiment is from this set too.  I need to use the Owl.  My friend coloured him the other day in the most beautiful colour variations, must play!

I used the following Copics:

• G09, G05, G03, G02
• YG25, WG23, WG21
• V09, YR30

Stay safe and cozy!
