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

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.

Remembering Lucas

 Good Morning All

Just a quick, easy card today.

I thought the image suited a Sympathy card and as this week is the anniversary if my dear Grandson, Lucas' death, it is quite fitting.

14 years ago he was taken, he would have been a young man now.

Very much stilled missed and remembered.

Tag in a Card

 Good Morning All

This card I have for you today has a parchment pocket with a tag.

The backing paper is Shabby Chic and fits the theme  of the tag with books and flowers.


I did use these tags for a DT a while ago so I decided to use one for a card instead of going in pockets in a journal.

I really do like it too.

Mono for MTTC

Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is

Mono  -  shades of 1 colour

Metalic and neutral allowed.

These words came from a 12 x 12 paper pad.

I had been using some of the small square on the cards below and I thought  they were perfect for this challenge theme, chosen by me.





I really enjoyed making these cards and used all papers and card I cut into for all the mats and layers so one happy bunny.
