About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Transport is the challenge at my Craft Group this week.

Its a good theme to get those Man cards made I think, and I made this with a Groovi plate.

The gifts I gave out were little Kinder choccy bars, of course, housed in a box.

Now onto last weeks challenge which was a sketch.

Odds

 Good Morning All

When I go to my Craft Group on Fridays, for the last couple of weeks  I have taken a bag of my scraps and make mats for my cards.  I add a strip of ribbon to hide the join.

This is one of them and I added a cute topper from LOTV.


This one is stencilled very faintly and a big die cut Happy Birthday and I added crystal gems on the first letters of each word.

Groovi Grids

 Good Morning All

I have been getting into my Groovi Groove just lately and here are two cards made using the Italian Grids.


These grids are easier to line up than some of the other and I think they look so pretty.


I attached this using a Groovi Corner punch and I did add some glue under the floral topper.


These two will be kept for my own use!!

Fantasy for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge is

Fantasy

Chosen by Margaret down in Australia,

I went with one of the lovely Poppet images from Clarity.

I chose an 8x8 scalloped card base (I save these big cards to give to my Craft group)

Clarity paper, then white card then on the bottom is an 8x8 parchment piece that I use to cut squares out of, so I use the outside as a mat.

Guess what the little flowers cover at the bottom!!!!!

Yep, a couple of mistakes. LOL


I decided to go ahead and make another.
Again using a Clarity Poppet and a little grid work on two corners.
The sentiment stamp is Phill

Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

Three cards to show you today, no theme, just bits & bobs from my stash and trying to use some diecuts.

Just having fun and making for the charity boxes.

Using stash I have had for a long time too, so satisfying.




I decided to add some oval pearls, I think it looks better.

So here is my card, simply using  Oxides and stamps. and an Oval template.


I do quite enjoy making this type of card and they are quick to make for the charity boxes too.
