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

New Beginnings

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge day today and a great theme for the new year ' New Beginnings' chosen this week by Kelly.





New Beginnings to me meant Baby - New Life.


I made a criss cross card using a 36 x 12cm piece of card, scored at 12cm and 24cm, then cut diagonally on each front piece.  Stuck some paper lace along the edges and added tiny organza bows. 


In the bottom corner I stuck some satin flowers and a tiny heart.




The sentiment banner has been in my stash for ages, as has the paper lace.


The patterned papers are Forever Friends.




I cut a scalloped circle from white card to make a separate card for the inside.




I decorated the inside of the fronts with a couple of tiny pink hearts and a Cherry Lynn die B315.









On the circle I stuck a decoupaged image of a baby sleeping on a pillow.




I stuck a piece of folded card onto the back to make a stand for it.  Tied Joanna Sheen ribbon through the top and inked the edges.


I look forward to visiting your blogs.
