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

Colouring for MAWTT

 Hi

My 2nd post today is for Moving Along With The Times Challenge where the theme for this month  is 

To use a Colouring Medium

Well the only medium I use for colouring images  is Polychromo Pencils and I have made two cards for this one.

This one is a pre printed card from Inky something (I cant remember the full name)

I thought this would make a good Mans card.



This is one  on parchment paper where I put the image under the parchment and colour then there is no outline on the top, which I think looks good.



I really enjoy doing these as they dont take too long and I can do them on my laptray.
I bought the images from Etsy, cheap as chips.

OUTLAWZ Challenges

 Hi Everyone

My first post today is for the Outlawz Challenges.

This one is Anything But A Card so I have made some Envelopes from large book pages.  I use these for my Craft  groups little gifts.

I put a tab on the flap and punch a hole for either ribbon or twine to secure the closure.


The book I used for a Railways around the World as the pages were quite large.
I add some ephemera,  either quotes or images.

And this is what I put inside, a little pack of three choc covered  biscuits.


***********************

Now onto the Twisted Challenge.

The theme is
Greetings
So I kept mine simple and went with 'Happy Birthday'
Cut with a die from Creative Expressions-
Background paper from my Reverse Colouring Book.

Waste Strips

 Hi

I have four cards to show you today.  All the same but different.

All using waste strips of coloured card and a simple stamped sentiment.

I saw this design on Pinterest.


I need to replanish my Man cards stock and I thought these would be good for men.

Bookmark Notebooks

 Hi

I showed these on my You Tube last week.

Bookmarks that include a Notebook and a pen holder too. Very handy.

Very often when I am reading, I have a thought and wish I had a pen and paper with me to make a note. This solves that problem.

Alos, I like to include a pen with a journal so it serves two purposes for me.





Here's the video if you would like to see it.

Thanks for the visit.
