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

White on White & some Pics

 Good Morning All

When I am browsing facebook or Pinterest, I do love to see white on white cards, so this is one I made before we went away.

I used Centura pearl card for the Creative Expressions die and Mosaic Leaves from CE too with just plain white card.



While we were in Melbourne we visited the Botanic Gardens as I wanted to see all the flowers.
To be honest I was disappointed as there were not that many but here's afew pics of the ones I saw.







And this is the war Memorial which we went inside, its like a small museum.

Crafty Friends & MAWTT Challenges

 

Good Morning All

I shall start with Crafty Friends Challenge  which has a theme of

Embossing

I made two cards, very similar.

I used CE Mosaic Leaves EF.

The tag toppers came from one of my crafty friends.

I helped tidy her craft room, way back in March and she disposed of alot of stuff so I grabbed some bits and these were among them.

I rubbed over the embossing with Johns (Crafts Too) Mica Paints.

Added  a sentiment tag on each one.



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

Which is Inky Backgrounds

I was playing with my Oxides and water, and had quite a selection to choose from but as I was doodling at the time too, I chose colours that matched the doodled flower.

Great fun to play with.

Enjoy the challenges this month.

For A Child for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is 

For A Child

And as we are sponsored by Ruth Hamilton Designs, I used one of her digis called Bunny in  Basket.

I decided to make Tess's birthday card ready for March.

I coloured the image with my Polychromo pencils then cut with CE Circles.

 Matted onto Kraft card embossed with CE Mosaic Leaves.

I added the sparkle ribbon from Crafty Ribbons as Tess loves Sparkle, then added  narrow gingham ribbon to the sentiment tag and a heart charm.


Brenda is giving these as a prize too
A set of three Wizard of Oz stamps. 

A Tinman Stamp




Also Ruth Hamilton Designs giving Digis too



Pop over to the challenge blog to see the wonderful creations by the design team.

Dies Challenge Day 45 & Just For You Card & Clarity Die

Good Morning All

Just For You
Another fairly simple card with one die set and one Embossing folder.
I used yellow card which I dont use very often, but it does look pretty.
I cut the die in  white and Holographic card.
I've just noticed now, looking at the pic that it is not set in the middle correctly.
  Errrrrrr, will the recipient notice?????


Dies Used  -----
89.   Creative Expressions Ornate Ovals -  CED5414 Just for You 

Emboss Folder Used   ------
18.   Creative Expressions EF-018  Art Deco Fanfare A4
 ************************

When Clarity Had a sale on in January, I could not resist this die at 50% off, daft not to really, dont you think????
I cut it in black and mounted onto some of Clarity's Rainbow River paper. These are stunning pads which I bought for parchment work but are perfect for these type of dies.
The die cuts into the paper so I cut it square and rounded the corners. Stuck to the designer paper then stuck that onto more black card so it looks like there are afew frames.

Dies Used ------
90.   Clarity Fresh Cut Die ACC-DI-3.727-44  Floral Frame


Wow, upto 90 already and still quite afew  to go!!!!!


while I have been doing this challenge I have been doing abit of organising too.
I decided to put all my stamps in files.
All the freebies from Magazines are filed in an A4  Lever Arch file and these are my smaller ones filed in A5 Lever Arch files.


All labelled, all nice and neat.
