Cassandras Garden from Tonic ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty in pink card is using a beautiful Tonic die called Cassandras Garden and it is a very detailed and filigree die

It is a six piece die set and it can make three different designs for you just by placing the dies in different positions

I have simply cut and layered the dies up in pink and white card and added the lace at the bottom of the card

The Best Wishes is another Tonic die and altogether this was an easy card to make and the result is easy on the eye.

The addition of the lace at the bottom is just a little touch of luxury and as so little is used at any one time then a metre goes a long way.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Ruby Update

Hi Everyone,

S'mee  Ruby to tell you some of my latest adventures.

I have had fun with my best friend Dougal again and here he is with my favorite chewed up milk carton.

Do you think that if  I stare at him hard enough he will give it back to me??  Well maybe not !!

I also like socks and I steal them whenever I can even if they are in the laundry basket waiting to be pegged on to the line.

I run off with them so fast that no one can catch me and it's great fun.

And I don't care if they are on my mums feet.

She tries to stop me getting them but I tug so hard that they come straight off

I like to make her laugh and she calls me a little thief, but I give them back to her eventually ... and then steal them again

Dougal had an operation the other week so now neither of us can have puppies.

Here he is in his babygro so that he cant get to the wound and he was feeling really sorry for himself.

We couldn't play together for a week until he felt better but now he is back to his old self and just as naughty as me

He is a Cockapoo and he is really kind to me even though I bark and growl at him.

 But he knows that I love him and we have such fun together.

Here he is with a ball that his mum bought for him to play with.

It lasted about ten minutes as he pulled all the soft stuffing out of it and scattered it around the house.

He is trying to look innocent here but the stuffing is hanging from  his mouth so he didn't fool anybody.

We are going on our holidays soon and so my mum is trying to get all her work done before we go, and busy writing up blog posts so that they will go out regularly.


We will have lots more to tell you  from Wales and we hope the weather will be kind. See you again soon

Bye for now .... Ruby

Friday Freebie 22 - Shabby Chic

Hi Everybody,

Todays FF is a 6" square card that is decorated with a cameo and flowers.

There is lots of interest on this card that does not show up in the photograph

The sentiment says to To My Friend but if you wanted to use the card then you can always change this if you wished

It is in shades of pale pink and delicate green with lots of sparkle.

Would you like to have this card ??? Then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post and come back tomorrow to check

A name will be chosen at random so you will need to come back and check if it is YOU.

I may be a little late posting this one to you as I will be on holiday in Wales for a week ... but you will get it as soon as I get back home

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx 

Enjoy the Journey ...

Hi Everybody,

The title of todays blog post is the stamp and die set that is free with this months Die Cutting Essentials 25

It consists of dies to create the car, foliage and flowers and stamps to compliment the items and help you to create your own scene

It was a lot of fun to play with and there are many more ideas within the magazine itself.  Plenty for you to get your teeth into.

For this card I have teamed it with the Happy Hooves die set that was the free gift with Papercraft Essentials mag on the 1st June

All the free gifts with these magazines are quality items and they will help you to build up your "stash" quite quickly and give you a good read at the same time.
