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

Decoupage pages for Bea Grob

 Good Evening All

It is time for my Bea Grob Design Team Project and this month I have used some tissue paper to decoupage onto a page in my journal.

This came about because I ordered myself some new Trainers on Amazon Prime week and they were wrapped in tissue paper within the box.

So I thought I would use Bea's stamp set. 


I used Archival ink then it wouldn't run with the Modpodge


I added some to black pages and some to Amazon packaging paper pages.




It does look OK when its dry, this one is still abit damp.



This looks better.



This is a good way of using up some of that packaging that we all have.
What do you think.?

I have a video showing the process in full.

Bits & Bobs

Good Morning All

I have a card today, made from bits & bobs lying on my desk.

It's a smallish card, just 5x5, the size I make for the charity boxes.

A 2 piece Sentiment die mounted onto an offcut of card, inked on the edges ant all matted onto a sort of Paisley patterned paper.


I'm still trying to clear stuff as I'm sure we all are.

Christmas Tags

 Good Morning All

I made some Christmas Tags a while ago to adorn the gift bags I give out to all my Craft Group ladies.Some of them have a little side pockets where I can add a tiny envelope with a voucher in.

This is a great way of using smaller leftover pieces of paper too.



             On these three I added bows made with sparkly wool and added a wooden Christmas tree button.
                    

                          I have a video on making these here.

Outlawz Colour Challenge

 Good Morning All

Outlawz Colour Challenge this month is

Pink to Burgundy




I made a page for my Art Journal.

I use 5x7 water colour paper. and started off with Fired Brick Oxide smooched all over then added some gesso and Pink pearly  drops that have gone abit firm

I have a little Alphabet punch set so punched
Colour My World in different shades of Pinks and reds.


I added a quote ' Learn Something New' which is quite apt because I think Art Journaling is something new on each page.


On opposite corners I sprinkled glitter Chrystals


Then I  add 2 punched circles ready to thread onto my binding rings that hold all my other pages together in the book.
***************
This is my mum on Sunday on her 100th birthday party
She loved it, lots of pressies and cards.
