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

Thank You Groovi

 Good Morning All

A Groovi card for you today.  I made this for one of my classes.

A quick card and using a number of different plates.

I like to  encourage the ladies to use  more than one plate for their creations, to get the most of what stash they have.


What do you think??

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Another challenge and this week its a sketch.

I made this card with a swap when I participated in Groovi Worldwide swaps on Facebook. We were given a partner to swap a PTC with.  I kept all the ones I received  and now decided to use them on cards, as I'm sure the lady wont mind me using her work.

I used scraps from an LOTV paper pad you will have seen on other cards.

More Fractured

 Good Morning All

These are the last two Fractured Cards in my stash, I promise, well until I make some more!!!

This image comes from a group on Facebook 

'Free Printables Clip-art'

They design on AI and let you use their makes which is great for cardmakers.


This is a digital from Etsy.

As I write this post I have no more cards in my stash for posting so I better get busy.  Its just so flippin' hot in my craft room so having to craft on dining table which gets very messy.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Although the Craft Shop is shut for the Summer, about 6 weeks, I am still doing the challenge as some of my Craft Group want to carry on. So here we go.

Today I have a sketch.


I used a topper from a Hunkydory pad and cut it with an oval die.
The brown paper is LOTV and I think the pink paper is too.


Anyone can join in if you wish,

Groovi Owls

 Good Morning All

We are off on a little jolly this afternoon to Alicante.

I am going to see the Cirque de Soleil on Friday evening.

The show is called Alegria and I am really looking forward to it.  I went last year.  We both go to Alicante and I get the tram to the show ground and see the show.  John isn't into it and it is quite expensive so its not worth wasting a ticket on him.  He meets from the tram later and we go and get dinner somewhere.

************

My card today is a lovely Groovi Owl design. I love all the snipping on this one.  A great Man card too.

I think its backed onto Clarity Designer paper.


This will stay in my personal stash for my own use!!

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Friday was the last craft group for  about 6 weeks as the  shop shuts on 22nd July and I am away next week as we are going to Alicante  to see Cirque de Soleil  -  Alegria show.

I went last year and enjoyed it soooo much.

Onto the challenge and it is 

A Sunburst Card

I chose to put all my toppers in the bottom left corner but they could go anywhere, even n the centre and put the burst all the way round.






There are numerous tutorials on You Tube and it is another great way of using scraps too.

I gave the last of gifts I had made so it was pot luck.
 And last weeks challenge was a sketch.

Denise


Eve

Name drawn was Eve.



Enjoy
