Ruby-dooby-doo's Crafty Creations

 Hi all! Sunday evening already, my week off work just flew in!  I managed to hurt my shoulder (on the mend) so it kinda scuppered my To Do List, but sure there was nothing there that wouldn't wait for another day!  We put our days in rightly, we've been blessed with lots of dry sunny weather all week so we'd lots of wee trips out and about.  This week is a short one too as I've Friday booked off to go to Garden Show Ireland, so hopefully the good weather holds!

I recently rediscovered some boingy spring wobble things in my stash so used one on this old bunny from The Cats Pyjamas - I think I bought this stamp back in 2011 and it's been many years since it last saw ink, bad me! 

I added clear gloss to the silver bits on the plane and sparkle to the blue highlights.  Striped DP from MFT.  It needed a wee something to finish it and after a LOT of faffing I added 2 little strips of leftover black card and I think that's it finished now!  Though I'm not overly happy with my colouring on his ears so I might see if I can do something with them!

Here's another few Calendar pages ready for my friend's Christmas pressie.  I think I've only 2 more months to get done, and then I'll need to double check all my dates as it's not the first time I copied them out wrong!

July features this oldie from Penny Black and my wee flying mouse is from Eat Cake Graphics: Crumbs Away
All watercoloured and sky chalked.  Sparkle added to the bees wings and to the paper plane.

December uses another oldie that hasn't seen ink for quite a few years - from The Cats Pyjamas.
Coloured with watercolour pencils, gloss and glitter added to the snowballs, and then on his little tail I've added some white flowersoft.

One of my Christmas presents to my Mum was a little handmade calendar ... I ran out of time to get the whole year done (she ended up with only January!) and as you can see I'm still flying close to the wire ;)
I'd bought some preprinted calendars but they were quite small and hard to read, so this one is 'recycled' from a freebie calendar from a local company.
My bunny is an oldie stamp from The Cats Pyjamas - coloured with watercolour pencils.  Sky chalked with clouds.  Border is a Memory Box die and the little heart die from Paper Smooches.

Sunday evenings come round so fast!!  We've had a beautiful sunny weekend, definitely one where you should be outdoors!  Guilt got the better of me this afternoon so I've been out and emptied all my hanging baskets and lots of pruning and pulling done!  So we've a nice tidy garden at the minute ... just ready for the leaves to start falling and making a mess Ha.

I've no idea what colour my bunny is .. there's about 5 different pinks in him, I just kept adding layers until I got a shade that kinda matched my DP.
