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 38 & Crafty Ribbons Spots

Good Morning All
Crafty Ribbons are having a Spots Week and I have made three  cards featuring two types of spotty ribbon available in store HERE
If you go on the FAcebook page of Crafty Ribbon snad comment on their post today, you will be in with a chance of winning a ribbon bundle.

When I was in the UK visiting Mums in January I bought John Next Doors Honesty dies.
This one is the Leaves which I cut from black card, rubbed with Mica Magics and then slotted back into the aperture.
I used Organza  1" wide spotty ribbon and narrow Grosgrain spotty ribbon too.

This one is the Honesty flowers, again coloured with Mica magics.,
This is a topper that was on a card I received from someone, waste not want not!!!!!
I think the colours on the flowers show up more on this first pic.

I used the smallest flowers to top the bow 

Dies Used  -----
72.   JND065 Honesty Leaves
73.   JND066 Honesty Flowers

As I loved the ribbon so much I made another card.
I love this cute fairy image on very thick parchment.

I used the same spotty ribbon as on the previous cards, but in different colours.

*******
Another card using an LOTV topper which I cut using an XCut set of dies.
The backing paper is Phill Martins and I used a negative cut from Pierced Rectangles.

I used offcuts for the inside and a Pierced Oval diecut.

Dies Used -----
74.   XCut - XCU503044 Nesting Dies
