Walk In The Woods

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday my mum and I went to the beach and I had a really good run around and got full of sand.

My mum washes my feet when we get home to get rid of the salt and that is nice with the warm water. I usually settle down for a little nap when we are home again

But today we went to Witch Wood and this has to be my very favourite walk. There are all sorts of things to sniff at. 

My mum likes it too and she says it is very peaceful, until I bark at something, and that is usually a squirrel.

But I am a good girl and I don't chase them I just look at them really and they look back at me

Here I am rummaging around the tress and plants to see what I can find.

My mum carries on walking but I never let her get far away and then I race after her.

Some times she hides behind a big tree and I have to find her. I always do though and then she makes a big fuss and gives me a cuddle

I sat down in the sun here for a little rest in amongst the blue bells but my mum said that although they are lovely flowers I am the most beautiful one ... and I believe her.

We have a lovely time in there and can spend a good hour or so wondering through the trees. 

Sometimes we take Dougal with us and he loves it in the woods too. But today he is busy and couldn't come

Any way soon it as time to go home and I was getting ready for my dinner too.

On Thursday all my lovely food from Butternut Box was delivered and because it is frozen it has to go straight in the freezer.

But I need to check it all first to make sure they have sent me the flavours that I like ... and yep! everything seems to be in order. So now I have to decide what I would like for my lunch and then I will have my nap.

See you all again soon

Lots of Love Ruby xx

Friday Freebie Layered Peonies

Hi Everybody,

Hope you are still well and keeping safe, and keeping your selves busy crafting.

I am offering you this beautiful Layered peony stamp and die set to help you do just that.

This video Layered Peonies will show you how I made good sue of it and I love the flowers that I added to my cards.

Now sadly I have no card to give away with this set and the reason is because I have been busy this week packing up 410 Cards with envelopes into cellophane bags for the charities that I support and somewhere in the midst of all these are the cards that I mad in the video.

But I will send you the magazine along with the die and stamps so you will be able to play to your hearts content. So if you would like this set then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME .... No full name then no entry ! 

From those comments one name will be drawn and added to a blog post over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if it is yours that is shown.

Good Luck everybody and stay safe 

More tomorrow ...

Hochanda One Day Special

Hi Everybody,

On Friday and Saturday Card Making Magic is going to be the One Day Special on Hochanda. 

Sadly because of the lock down I have to be a good girl and stay at home.

But here is a sneaky peak of some of the dies that will be in the shows, and these are really beautiful so I don't think you will be disappointed with them.

The shows are at 6pm and 8pm on Friday 17th April and at 8am, 12 noon and 4pm on Saturday 18th so if you can make a note of it in your diary and pop along that would be great.

The lovely Lou Collins is going to be hosting the shows in my absence  and I can't wait to be back in the studios again hopefully next month to show you what we have coming up for you with the next collection.

In the meantime I will do my very best to keep you entertained by adding videos and cards when ever I can so please stay with me as it means a lot to me to know that you are visiting my blog and YouTube 

More tomorrow ...

Spring / Summer Stamp & Die Set

Hi Everybody,

Today I have a short video for you and in this I have created two cards using the Spring/Summer Stamp & Die Set.

I stamped the flowers I wanted to add to my card and then coloured them in. I used Alcohol Markers but you can use your favourite medium

The video takes you thought the process of making two cards and that was because I had quite a lot of flowers left over.

Always a good idea to stamp extra while you have the things for stamping out on our desk. The extras will always come in handy ion the future.

So let the video show you how I got my cards created and I hope you will enjoy it. It's not a long one so you won't get bored !!

All my collections are available at   Craft Stash  and they are continuing their deliveries of all crafting supplies throughout this sad and confusing time of lock down. 

Just stay home and stay safe and enjoy crafting while the opportunity presents itself. 

All too soon you may be back at work.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
