Good Afternoon All
My card today was made especially for The Cuttlebug Spot Challenge 'Life is Like a Box of Chocolates.
I wrote the quote from the film (Forest Gump) on cream paper and diecut it with scalloped Oval then layered it onto chocolate coloured, card then brown card. The paper I found in my scrap box and thought it was very apt with a mailbox on it and it was in the clours I wanted to use. The backing paper is from Papermania. Added Joanna Sheen ribbon in two colours and some buttons and flowers.

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

Sew Nice
Good Morning All
I made this yesterday because I have numerous of these little sewing kits that you get in hotels and I did not want to throw them away, so this is what I did with one of them.
The papers are from Papermania Docrafts goody bag last year
Buttons from my Mums old button tin
Sacking from the Rioja wine bottle
White material is offcut from when I shortened my curtains for my craft room
************************
Also when I was out shopping in the local China store I found these --------

The charms are only 90 cents (70p) and there are loads to choose from along with jewelery findings, and the pearl pins are 80 cents and about 2" long.
The yellow sponge dibbers I thought would be good for either chalking or inking and I made some more of my cork blenders myself to have seperate ones for each colour I use.
Welcome to my new followers too, dont forget to enter the candy draw, I have added some pics of more bits I have added and there will be more to come.

Wrap It Up
Good Morning All
Time for a new challenge at Love to Create and as my post title says the theme is 'Wrap It Up' (Use twine, string or fibres) so I have wrapped twine around the side steps of my card and the sacking is recycled from a bottle of Rioja wine!!!!!
I kept it fairly simple as I thought this digi from Eureka stamps (called 'Heart Dog') was so cute I wanted to keep it as the main focal point. I just added afew bits of glitter on the image. Stuck some gems and buttons with twine tied through them onto the sides.
Our sponsors this week are ---

Have fun with this challenge.

Good Afternoon All
I have been busy all day crafting. I have a box/tray on my desk full of bits -- off cuts, negatives of diecuts, images, ribbon, allsorts. So I have put some away where they belong but all the rest, I thought I would set myself a mission, no other cards until all these bits are used.
this orangey card and instead of wasting it I thought I would go for another colour scheme,mmmmm.
So this is card NO. 1
I think it looks pretty good.
So, onto card NO. 2
The Cheery Lynn heart did not cut out properly, and, as you know, I can't throw stuff away, so I stuck a diecut over it.
Card NO. 3
A Forever Friends image, embossed white card has been there for months. Negative from a border diecut. Punched flowers, again, have been there for months.
Card NO. 4
Again, this did not cut out properly, so covered it up with sentiment and a Marianne butterfly.
Card NO.5
Negative from a Cross Diecut matted onto shades of blue card, sentiment, ribbon and peace lily added.
I wasn't keen on my colouring for this image but I couldn't throw it. Just added borders, ribbon and gems.

I wasn't keen on my colouring for this image but I couldn't throw it. Just added borders, ribbon and gems.
I still have afew bits left so will carry on and make afew more today, but first I have to do some blog hopping as today is the start of Allsorts Challenge (see post below)

It's a Girl
Good Morning All
Would you believe it has been raining here in sunny Spain, the weather has been a little strange over the last few days, it has been sunny but the mountains have disappeared in mist.
On the horizon there are usually a range of mountains and they have gone in the mist!!! The first day I looked over and thought there was something abit strange then realised 'no mountains'.
Anyway, my card today is a gorgeous baby girl card, lovely pinks and pretty things.

Good Afternoon All
I made this first card for a challenge and then I thought I would start using the negatives of the die cuts when I cut them. I have a file with all my negatives in but hardly ever use them, so, in future, I am going to use them straight away. This way the charities I supply will get an extra card to sell!!!!!
This is the first one --- all the embellishments are homemade - flowers and bead thingy.
