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

Groovi Circles

 Good Morning All

As you may know, I love doing Groovi Grid work and these two are using the circle grids.  They are designed to have a circle image slotted into or under the inner edge but for these two I just added a  plain circle and a  bold diecut sentiment.



I think there are 4 circle grids and this is two of them.

Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards today using embossed card, the 1st one using offcuts too, so happy about that.

When I am at my Craft group, I sometimes cut and mat digi images ready for use on cards.

Quick cards for the charity boxes.


I like the diecut sentiment on this one too.

Sentiments

 Good Morning All

Sentiments are the name of the game today.

Great for mens cards, infact this 1st one was sent to Australia for Johns son.

You really dont need much more on a card to make it good.



What do you think??

We were back at Craft Group on Firday and it was lovely to see all the ladies again.

The challenge I gave them was

I punched lots from waste card in different Pinks glued 16 in a grid pattern and added a stamped sentiment on a diecut  circle.

I found these fancy brads in my stash added a snip of ribbon through it.

Use A Sentiment for MTTC Challenge

 Good Morning All

Welcome to the first challenge of the year for My Time To Craft.

The theme this time has been chosen by Alison and it is

Use A Sentiment

My card is fairly simple and features a 'Thanks'  diecut from Creative Expressions and the Ivy die from JND.

I cut the sentiment from the pearlised dark pink card then used that some card as the mat.

I added some diagonal embossed lines in the tope right corner and shaped the Ivy with a ball tool.


We have a worldwide team so why not pop over and see all the other DT's work

Thank You

 Good Morning All

Another Thank You card from me today, following the MAWTT post below.

Paper is from LOTV 8x8 paper pad, a die cut Sentiment and a parchment butterfly.


I like to add at least one Thank You card when I donate a box of cards for a raffle prize to the charities.

I have found another outlet for my cards too.
A friend of mine, Paula, helps out at a local Dog Sanctuary in Guadamar, so I asked her if she could take some and sell them on her Bingo nights and keep all the money for the sancuarty.  She is happy to do that and I am happy to give them.

Happy New Year MAWTT Thanks

 Good Morning All

Best Wishes to one and all for 2025

The Challenge for Moving Along With The Times this month is

Thank You

I made two cards for this one and these came about because I was trying to clear a box on my desk that all bits and bobs get thrown into, well not thrown but you know what I mean.



I really did not cut anything for this, everything is from the box and I did clear it too.
I now am working on the trolly on my left side of desk that has files with lots of stuff in.  Every time I clear it I promise that I am NOT going to let it build up  ever again!!!!
Who am I kidding????
