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

Dies Challenge Day 23 & Abit Vintage for Allsorts Jnl Page 9


Good Morning All

I,m hosting the challenge over at Allsorts this week and I have gone with a theme of
A Touch Vintage
As I am in the middle of my Dies challenge set by John Next Door, I have a journal page to show you.
It's a double page layout.
I always use coffee dyed papers for the vintage look.
I made pockets with a CE Pierced  square die using  Kraft card and slightly smaller ones from  book pages.



I found some vintage images in my Junk Journals boxes, so backed 4 of them onto plain white card so they can be used as journal cards.

The corners have 2 pockets for tucking them in.
I inked all the edges with Distress inks.



I added these Spellbinders tags  die cuts so that a Title may be added to each page.
This is the beauty of creating Junk Journals, allsorts can be added, just go with the flow wherever your imagination takes you.







Prize on offer this week

A really super journal page and some really great images, the coffee died pages are brilliant, never seen that before. I had to smile to myself though, my Dad had a camera like the one you have shown and I learned to type on a typewriter like another of your images. So it is confirmed I am vintage.
Thanks for the challenge.
Weather was pretty good during the day but dropped cold at night but was prepared for that.
