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

Spring Flowers for MAWTT & Colour challenge for Outlawz

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is  hosted by Jenny and her theme is 

Spring Flowers.

I made two cards with the same image in different colours.

I think they are Primroses and  they are so pretty.  I was given these by one of the ladies in  my Groovi Group.


I made one into a Birthday card.


And this one is a Sympathy  or Get Well card.
I love this marbled paper on the background.


This card would actually suite the Outlawz Colour Challenge too as it is.......

This is the card I mde using strips of coloured card as the base, added a Groovi sentiment and some mini butterflies.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

The challenge at my Craft Group this week is SPORT.

I bought a pad of toppers from the local craft shop .  It was Hunkydory and mostly sports of different types, so I have quite afew cards to show.










So a good selection of sports covered with this lot.
A great buy I think and I gave the ladies the pick of the images I had left over to make their cards too.

The gifts I gave out were Mint Viscount Biscuits in little envelopes made from bookpages.

Last weeks challenge was a sketch.

Two Groovi cards to show you today.

A lovely one for a New Baby baby mounted onto pink card then a pink Mirri card.


The backing for this card is made with Pixi Powders and the Groovi work is a Fairy sat in the Moon.


Both quite easy Groovi plates to use.

Cutie

 Good Morning All

A little bit of cuteness on this card.

A Puppy in a teacup doesn't get much cuter!!!!

I'm still trying to use offcuts of card too, this one had embossed at the bottom half and  a tiedye effect on the top with ribbon to hise the join.


And this one is a Tonic topper and going in one of the charity boxes, which is where most of my cards go!!!
I think, just adding 3 mini butterflies, helps make it special. 

Which do you like best?

Someone Special for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is chosen by MAria and her theme is

Celebrate Someone Special

My Someone Special is my eldest Grandaughter Hollie, and its her Birthday later in the year and this is the card I have made for her.

This is an 8x8 scalloped card and  I used the Paris grid plate from Clarity Groovi to do the border. and added an LOTV topper.

Peeloffs for the sentiments of Happy Birthday and For Someone Special.


Challenges entered-Allsorts 819   




Here is another card using a Groovi grid plate, Toulouse.
I have these squares of coloured parchment left over from when I cut squares of parchment for my group.  I put the die in the middle then I have the leftover to make a card with.

Groovi

 Good Morning All

As this goes live I will be getting my stuff packed ready to leave Corby and fly home.

Three Groovi cards today.

I'm not sure if I have already shown this one


I am entering this card into Allsorts Challenge 819


This one I posted off to a friend in the UK.
It is coloured with pearly pens following the Grooves on the plates, takes abit of practice but very effective.

 Good Morning All

I left Eve in charge on Friday as I am at my  sons in Corby having a shiort visit.

Butterflies

which is alway popular with the ladies.

Lovely butterfly paper and some of my mini punched butterflies.


I thought I would add this one as it has a dragonfly on.  One way of using my scraps of parchment.
