Now I know this may not interest everyone, but it's been a busy week here on the Farm. It's that exciting time of the year when suddenly all seems well with the world and there is an excited noisy, dusty buzz in the air and everyone is happy and goes around saying how thankful they are. The Buzzards and Red Kites are hovering and swooping around the field too.
It's harvest time! and they are busy working in  the barley field outside the house today. I took a few photos from one of the bedroom windows and thought I'd share some here

I hope you weren't too bored with the Harvest Time photos, but I'll be back with some crafting photos another day. Until then...

Keep Crafting,
Ruth xx

Happy Anniversary card and 'Vintage' Scrapbook page

Hi there! Today we are celebrating my 31st Wedding Anniversary, so I thought I would share the quick card I made for Phil. I am so pleased that I made this a few weeks ago when I had a quick moment, as I haven't been feeling well enough to do much crafting lately. It's not often that I am that prepared though LOL!

This card was made with Blushing Bride Card stock, Twitterpated DSP and Mocha Morning flocked Speciality DSP, You Are Loved stamp set and embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. I love the gorgeous red Glimmer Paper which I used to punch the hearts and Decorative Label. Inside the card was matted with Whisper White Card and I stamped some images from the You are Loved stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. It looks far better in real life, than in the photo, but as always, my photography isn't up to scratch (oooops!).

I am looking forward to tonight's meal as I've bought some Donald Russell Ribeye steaks to cook as an extra special treat! I still need to think of a special desert to make (gluten-free of course!).

I thought I would share the Scrapbook page I made in April (under the talented Carolyn's expert instruction) at the Tartan Stampers Mini Convention. The photo on this page was taken 31 years ago today LOL!
