Spanish crafter
I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog, mainly card making but I now have six Grand children, five girls and a boy. As I love these kids so much I can't help showing an odd picture of them now and again. I really need to get into Scrapbooking too, loads of pics to use. I do some knitting and crocheting too. I also have a page on Facebook - Wendy's Crafty Crafts where I have a fun challenge most weeks.

About Me
- Wendy L
- 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

Hi
I was a little late going to Craft Group on Friday as I had a Hospital appointment, or rather 3 of them.
I had problems with my hearing since September so after medication these were my follow ups with hearing tests and specialist. All ok now thank goodness, you dont realise how much you need something until you no longer have it.
**************
Anyway, this weeks challenge is Butterflies.

Truly Scraps
Hi Everyone
These cards are all made using my scraps.
The backgrounds from strips of card leftover and the sentiment on leftover pieces of parchment.
They are all the same really, I just thought I would show them all.
Some for men and some for ladies.

Hi
Happy Easter to all.
My Craft Group Challenge this week is a sketch and I made 2 cards for this as they are Man cards.
The images, I aquired are from some craft stuff from one of my Groovi ladies, I think they are from CraftsUPrint. The papers are from an LOTV 8x8 paper pad and a craft magazine.

Anything Spring for MAWTT
Hi
My second post today, as it's the 1st, is Moving Along With The Times Challenge and a theme chosen by Brenda
Anything Spring
So I made and Easter card for 2 of my Grandaughters, Hollie And Tessie.
I used an LOTV Topper with a bunny and daffodils, added my own sentiment, a doily and some gems and punched flowers in the bottom corner.
Outlawz Challenges
Hi Everyone
Today is Outlawz challenge day, both ABAC (Anything But A Card) & Twisted.
First I have my ABAC make and it is my tiny butterflies that I punch out and layer and add gems or pearls.
This is the punch, or rather, one of the punches I use. It is about 1 cm across and I punch a base from coloured paper or thin card and a top layer from parchment.

Hi
A nice easy challenge for the Craft Group this week
PINK
This is my card and I'm not sure where the topper came from, maybe in some stash I sorted from my friend Val.

Die cuts
Hi
A couple of cards using some die cuts.
Whenever I use my Gemini I always try to fill the plate and this is some of them.
The gems in the corners are left over from a Diamond art project.
And some of my punched butterflies for decoration.
