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

A Little Groovi

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards today using scraps of parchment.

This one is a small square with a squiddly pattern embossed which I thought matched the backing paper quite well.


I also use offcuts to punch flowers and here are two examples.


This one is a large sentiment and a picot cut airplane.


I am doing bits like this while I am away, sitting in apartment resting!
My legs cant walk like they used to, so have to rest quite often!!

Glittered Groovi

 Good Morning All

I think by the time this post goes out we will be in Granada.

But here are afew pics of Cordoba.  In the region of San Bacilio, old part, so beautiful. 

There was a festival on where the ladies dressed in Flamenco and the men in suits, alot if horse drawn carriages.



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

I have a couple of easy Groovi cards today, both the same really, just different backing so it makes them look quite different.

I have yet to add a sentiment to this one. Its quite a quick card really, just the glittering took longer than the Groovi work.


And this one is on green parchment with a spotty backing paper.
They do look quite different though dont they??

Following on from last Wednesdays post here are the last of the fractured cards I made.

Great way of using scraps too.

These two Tulip toppers are from an old Making Cards magazine, very old!!



These two use a digi I bought on Etsy

Happy Sunday Challenge


Good Morning All

Friday was my last Craft group for a couple of weeks as we go to Madrid on Thursday for our annual holiday.
We visit Madrid, Cordoba,  Granada and back to Madrid, lots of train travel, which we love.
**************
The challenge was 
Black, White and one other colour.
I went with Gold on these cards as I had afew rolls of Black and Gold Washi tape.
These cards are embossed on my Scoreboard, it doesn't show too good on the pics though.  Very CAS.



*************
The gifts I gave out were little Milk carton boxes tied with organza ribbon with afew sweets inside.

Last weeks challenge was a sketch.

Denise

Eve

The name drawn was Dawn.

*****
We were sat on a terrace bar on Friday night  with Johns son and there was a plant next to me.

The bottom fronds had the most amazing, sort of flowers, they were white and purple.
There was an insect buzzing around it, like a wasp.  There seemed to be juice coming from it.

 Good Morning All

Another random card today. This topper is from a pad I bought at my local Craft Shop.


I'm ploughing my way through it making cards for the charity boxes.

And this card is using some scraps from my box, like the piece of diecut.


A busy day for me today as I have my usual Craft Group at the shop and I have to leave things with Eve for the next two Fridys as we are away on Thursday next week.
And Johns son arrives this afternoon for a long weekend with us too.
So busy busy busy.  Plus lots of eating and drinking!!

Fracture Card

 Good Morning All

Another Fractured card today.  I must admit, I do like making this style.

Think  the topper is a digi from Rockwell Designs on Etsy.

It is cute.
