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

Fancy Fold for Allsorts

Good Morning All
Allsorts Challenge is Fancy Folds.
Mine is an Acetate Easel card and I embossed the acetate with a Butterfly embossing folder from Creative Expressions.
I cut the Marianne butterfly twice, once in green card and once in parchment paper.
Lace and seam binding  with a flower to hold the easel shape.



The papers were from a magazine my sister gave me and as there was quite abit left here is another 2 cards I have ready to decorate.



I used one of them but the other is for another DT project so I cannot show you that one.



I added a tiny bow from  one of my Birthday cards to hide a cutting mistake on the circle sentiment!!!

Good Bye John

Good Morning All
By the time you read this John Next Door will be well on his way, driving through Spain towards France, on his way to UK.  I will miss him so much but he has done it for good reasons and I,m sure doors will open for him in the crafting world.

This is the card I made for him.



The front is acetate and I stamped in the corner and heat embossed with gold.  Inside I put 'Bitty Blossoms' flowers made from book pages.
Heat embossed the sentiment and added Zva Creative swirl bling which I was lucky to win last month on their blog hop.






I,m not sure where the butterflies are from, they were with some blog candy.

I added one of my bead pins to the ribbon and gems to the butterflies.

This pic is without the acetate, as it always reflects when photographing.

Good Bye John, see you in December.

Acetate Birthday

Good Morning All

I forgot to let you know how my sons Skyjump went, just perfect.  We had to wait around the airfield all flippin' day and him and his friend were getting more agitated as time went on.  Anyway, finally at about 5pm up they went and down they came, all went to plan and he raised about 600 GBP and  I am so very proud of him.






Walking across the fields to the plane.







                                                *********************************************************************************
Anyway, onto the card I made trying something a bit different.  It is a Birthday card with a sheet of acetate folded over the top. I punched a hole in the top corner and tied a ribbon through it and added a lovely green bead.

Acetate Baby Card

Good Afternoon All
Hope you are all good today and those of you that live in the UK, not too damp.  We are watching the qualifying for the Grand Prix and the weather looks awful.  I spoke to my son this morning, in the North West, and he said it was quite nice there, sohopefully, you all may be having good weather.



I saw this idea on C&C a while ago.  The front of the card is cut and a piece of acelate inserted to replace the card cut away.  I decided to use a border punch on each edge.  The gem swirls are from Zva Creations that I won a while ago on a blog hop. Ribbon, tag (New Baby) and embellishment were bought in USA quite afew years ago.
 think it looks pretty and sweet, hope you do too.
