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

Summer Colours for Outlaqz Colour Challenge

 Good Morning All

Outlawz Colour Challenge starts today for the month of June and these colours were chosen by me.

Summer Colours.

This is my interpretatation,

I used offcuts of lemon and orange papers and a cute doggy topper.

I found some old wooden sentiments to so added those.


This is the colour palette


I made a second card using the same colour papers.
This is an image made using an AI program, I was just trying it!!!.

I added a homemade Tag sentiment and ribbon.

Arch Shape for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge is

Arch Shape Base Cards

I cut a 6x4 card to shape for this one.  I bought the arch die cut 

on-line ages ago and added the leaf one from Creative Expressions.

I decided it suited a Sympathy card.

Journals for sale

 Good Morning All

Today I have afew Journals to show you. I do have these for sale in my Kofi Shop and they are very cheap too.  I just want to raise abit of money for the charities I support.

If you would like to buy one, please be aware that there maybe import charges applied in Uk.

One lady in UK bought one and they charges her 16gbp but she was happy to pay it.

We have to pay charges, here in Spain too, for parcels from outside Europe.

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

This one is a quad fold in shades of peach, very beautiful.

It is 45 euro  due to the weight as it is over 500gm so costs me more to post.

I do add extras to the parcel if weight allows.





*****

This is a mini journal and just 25euro minimum





There are fuller descriptions on the Kofi and lots more pics too.
You can leave a comment on here if you would like to buy one and I will remove it from Kofi.  Paypal do take their charges if bought on there so that reduces the money I can give to the charity.

Alot of work goes into making these journals but I thoroughly enjoy it. 
Some people sell for well over 100 GBP  so mine are a very good buy.

**************
I asked the two charities I support if they would be able to make use of some Journal/folios if I gave them some, they both said YES.
So I packages afew as best I could to try and make them look pretty and I also added a paper in both Spanish and English, explaining what a Junk Journal was and how its made.



I have a video coming out soon on You Tube showing how I decorate the bags I put them in.



Thanks for visiting.
