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

More than 2 die for Allsorts

Good Morning All
I,m hosting the challenge this week at Allsorts and I want to see at least two or more diecuts on your wonderful creations.
As we are sponsored by Sissix I used their Iron Gate Die, one of my faves.


Did you see John Next Door demoing this technique on Hochanda back in April.
He glued tin foil to card then ran it through an embossing folder.
If I remember correctly, he inked his but I used Gilding Polish on CE Wild Roses Folder. 
Cut the Iron Gate die in white card.
I made a frame with the pierced rectangles.
Added some satin flower and mosaic leaves.
Get Well sentiment in the bottom corner with two gems. Fine plaited leather down each side.

A fabulous background and some really lovely dies used here, love the colour of the background.
Didn't see it as I do not watch craft programmes but a great pity that I didn't. Maybe I should and learn more.
