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

Someone Special for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is chosen by MAria and her theme is

Celebrate Someone Special

My Someone Special is my eldest Grandaughter Hollie, and its her Birthday later in the year and this is the card I have made for her.

This is an 8x8 scalloped card and  I used the Paris grid plate from Clarity Groovi to do the border. and added an LOTV topper.

Peeloffs for the sentiments of Happy Birthday and For Someone Special.




Here is another card using a Groovi grid plate, Toulouse.
I have these squares of coloured parchment left over from when I cut squares of parchment for my group.  I put the die in the middle then I have the leftover to make a card with.

Groovi

 Good Morning All

As this goes live I will be getting my stuff packed ready to leave Corby and fly home.

Three Groovi cards today.

I'm not sure if I have already shown this one



This one I posted off to a friend in the UK.
It is coloured with pearly pens following the Grooves on the plates, takes abit of practice but very effective.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

I left Eve in charge on Friday as I am at my  sons in Corby having a shiort visit.

The challenge is

Butterflies

which is alway popular with the ladies.

Lovely butterfly paper and some of my mini punched butterflies.


I thought I would add this one as it has a dragonfly on.  One way of using my scraps of parchment.

A couple of random cards today that are going in a charity box.

This first one is an LOTV topper, and yes, I still have alot.


This one is a sticker layered onto scraps but it still looks good I think.

Clover or Shamrock for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft is starting with a new challenge today with a theme of  

Clover or Shamrock

As I didn't have andthing suitable in my stash, I decided to draw one in my Sakura 4x4 Sketchbook.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you will know I love doodling and I bought this book when I was on holiday in Cordoba early last year.

I am no expert by far but I enjoy it and find it quite therapeutic.


Here are afew more pages.
Black fine tip pens and colours.


This one has abit of shading with a soft pencil.


I sometimes use stickers too.
