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

Squares

 Good Morning All

Some more cards with little squares today.

This one is laid out in a different pattern instead of the  nine.


Both of these card use inch squares and 1.5 inch.

This one sort of follows on from last Wednesdays post with the sentiment as the focal point.  This one uses the square left over from previous makes.

This is a great way of using some scraps of card and paper.

Happy Sunday Challenge

Good Morning All

Some of my Craft Ladies went out for a meal on Friday, last Friday the  shop is shut.  It was lovely but boy o boy was it hot, no AC on in restaurant which spoilt it for me.  Food was good though.

I made two cards for this weeks challenge which is a sketch.

I have been using my smaller pieces of parchment.

Sentiments

 Good Morning All

Afew cards today with Sentiment as the focal point.

All quite simple and easy, great for filling the charity boxes.

I love this die cut, very delicate. It comes in two pieces.


Not as keen on this diecut, more for men cards I think.


Love this one too, again in two pieces.

Thinking Of You

 Good Morning All

A couple of stencilled cards today.  These two are picture stencils, by that I mean they are the main focus of the card, not a background.

Both fairly simply cards as they are both sympathy cards.




I am getting more into using my stencils and inks and enjoying it which is the main thing.

Paper strips

 Good Morning All

I had so much fun afew weeks ago using strips of paper as backing for cards so I made a load more.








All I had to do was add a sentiment, some of which I heat embossed or just stamped.  On a couple I added some parchment flowers.

Some more to add to the charity boxes.


Thanks for visiting.

Good Morning All

We had our Craft Club on Friday and it was the last one until the end of August as the shop closes for their holiday.

We will keep in tough via Whats App as I have a group on there  where we all post and chat.  We are going out for an Indian meal too on the 25th.

Anyway, back to the challenge, which I shall keep going through the break.

This is a sketch challenge, (see below)

I had this inky paper, that I had made, in my stash in the perfect colour that I needed.

I love this Birthday die but the silver Mirri card had a few lines on it, so I scratched afew more to make it look as if they belonged!!!!


Sketch to follow
