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

Autumn Colours for MTTC

 Good Morning All

The challenge over at My Time To Craft is

Autumn Colours

I used some papers from a Stamperia kit.

I think this would make a good Man card too.

The sentiment is a die cut and I glued it onto Kraft card and cut around it.


Challenge entered is Allsorts 800 AG  -

Autumn Colours for MAWTT & Halloween for Outlawz Colour Challenge

Good  Morning All

I have two Makes for you today, both Design Team.

First is Moving Along With The Times Challenge is chosen by Christine and her theme is 

Autumn Colours

I made a Notepad from offcuts of papers from my card inserts.

When I Googled Autumn Colours I found  That there are lots of Autumn colours from Brown, russets, red yellow, orange, greens even some blue and fawn so here you go.

I made a notebook  with a bellyband





*****************
Secondly I have the Outlawz Colour Challenge and the theme is ´Halloween with the colours shown on this pic.


I did a page in my Collage Journal

Although this looks more pink it is a purple Oxide I brushed on the page.
I printed an image from Clipart Freebies on Facebook and chose a couple of suitable quotes. Added afew stickers and Washit tape strips.




I dont really do Halloween cards so I thought this was the next best thing.
  I hope you like it.
If you follow me on Instagram and my Facebook Group, I show pages from my Collage Journal and a 4x4 Sketchbook too, doodles etc.
