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

Stamperia

 Good Morning All

These three cards are made using a 12x12 scrapbook kit from Stamperia called ·Precious· that my friend bought me as part of my Birthday  gift.




It's a very beautiful kit, very traditional roses.
I made various cards  -  Thank you, Anniversary and Birthday, all for the charity box.

I have use Stamperia kits before and so versatile, both for cards and making journals and to use in my journal too.

Join me on Sunday for the MAWTT Challenge.

Tree Related for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge is hosted by Becca this time and her theme is

Something Tree Related

I had bought a die cut kit from my local craft shop  and it was Jungle Animals.   So I thought that would be a good place to start.

I chose the image of a Giraffe first.

Then I cut a square of white card and inked with Oxides.

Then I had some Animal and tree / shrub stamps that came free with a magazine so I stamped various grasses and branches.

Then added the topper and sentiment from the kit.

I am very happy with how it turned out and will make more I think.

Scraps

 Good Morning All

This  card is mostly Scraps.

All offcuts of card and even the image is a misprint, my printer cut the side off so I covered it with the  sentiment piece.

Spotty ribbon from Crafty Ribbon UK


I even made the butterfly with leftover crystal gems from a kit of Crystalart.


So its really Spots and Stripes.

Happy bunny using more scraps.

Blue Shabby Background papers.

These envelopes have a gusset in the side to allow for a little gift inside.

Enjoy

Sweet

 Good Morning All

Three cards to share with you today all using images that, I think, are so sweet.

A very kind Spanish lady sent them to me when I admired them on her Instagram feed.




They resonate with me at present as I am reading a book that was given to me by a lady in my slimming group.
It is called No Child of Mine by Susan Lewis and is about a little 3 year old girl abused by her Father and not looked after by her Mother and its breaking my heart!!!!
The last two cards, the little girls look so sad.

Man card

 Good Morning All

Another Man card from me following on from Sundays Challenge.

This is an image from a digi from Etsy, matted onto black card and all matted onto paper from an LOTV pad.


I printed the sentiment and mounted onto black card.
Quite simple but a good man card.

LOTV Toppers for Men cards

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards today for  Men or Boys.

This one features a two sided tag I made for a You Tube video



Both cards use offcuts of patterned card which gives me a great satisfaction using these.


Cant go wrong with LOTV toppers, especially for Men cards.

Summer Fun for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

The theme for Moving Along With The Times is

Summer Fun 

and I used the same topper from LOTV as my previous DT.

I always seem to go to LOTV for my DT cards, they are great for Men cards too and I have them on a memory stick so I can print when I need them.

The backing paper is from Claritystamp.com
