Inspiring Thoughts
September 16, 2009 by Ruth
Every had ideas pop into your head at odd moments and not have the paper or pen to write them down??? I have them quite regularly especially whilst pottering around the house trying to get things done. So I thought I would cover a Journal to keep my thoughts and inspirations somewhere. And this is what I came up with.
I am running a class in a couple of weeks. This is a great chance to prepare for christmas and give the covered journal to a friend or family member if you don’t want to use it yourself.

Springing into Spring!
I love spring for many reasons. The beautiful smells of fresh flowers (after I have recovered from hay fever!!!) the beautiful sunny days to soak in the Vitamin D or E?? The colours become brighter or at least I feel like I can wear brighter colours without looking rediculous! and I always feel like I have more energy. So I thought today I would show you a quick card I made using the ‘Pocket Silhouettes’ Stamp set. I have many comments that this is a beautiful stamp set and very easy to use. I hope you like the card!

Publishing – Amazing how this work out!
September 1, 2009 by Ruth
Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well. I have been meaning to post this for the last week, however like time does it got away again!!!!
Isn’t it funny how things turn out in life sometimes. Picture this……………….
Christmas Eve 2008 about 7pm in the evening. I am still finishing gifts for christmas and have just finished wrapping the presents when it occurs to me I need something more to add to two of the presents. (my mum (Hi Mum) and my sisters mother-in-law (Hi June!)), so I started to rack my brain and came up with the idea of a card gift set. I thought this could be easy and not too hard to complete. With my daughter in bed and my husband busy pottering around in his garage I thought I had all the time in the world (which I did but with a dead line of the next day!!!). So I set to work and this was the result.
A few weeks after Christmas I thought I should send a photo of the cards into Stamping and Papercraft to see if they were interested in publishing it and they were to my surprise.
Some of you who receive ‘Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft’ may have noticed that this set of cards and the wallet are in this months issue. This is the first time I have had my work published. How Exciting!!!!! I hope you like it and find inspiration from it in many ways.
And to those who are visiting my blog for the first time. Welcome!
