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

Groovi Christmas

 Hi

Days are flying by and it will soon be Christmas!!!!!!!

My crafty friend Eve, bought me a set of 'Twas The Night ' pre printed parchment toppers from Claritystamp for my Christmas gift last year.

They are ready to use as they are or you can remove some of the ink from the reverse side to make it white on the front, like the one on the left.


I  added a square embossed border and abit of grid work.



Here is one made into a card with a grid border.



I love them.

This one is one of the French Grid plates with a seperate piece for the middle.


A simple border on this one and a Japanese lady in the middle.

I love both these plates, the large grid and one the the Japanese collection.


I hope you like them.

A Man Card

I did alot of Groovi when I was laid up with my sore foot so now I am making all the pieces into cards.

I loved doing this one as I love all the snipping out.

I thought the leaf brads fitted quite well too-
