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

A couple of cards for the Kids

 Good Morning All

One of my Craft Club ladies gave me some Peter Rabbit images so I thought I would make some kids cards for the charity box.

The paper is from an LOTV pad backed onto peachy coloured card.


This second card is using the scraps left over from the first one.


Just tiny bit of snow here in Corby and very cold, but that is fine by me.
I die cut some of John's (JND) crackers before I came here so that Hollie and Tess could decorate them.

A Stamped Image for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is

Anything Goes with Option of a Stamped Image

So I used one of the Oxide backgrounds I made a while ago and used a stamp from a set from Inkadinkadoo.


A nice flat card for posting too.

We have Ruth sponsoring us for this challenge with 3 images as a prize.


Ruth Hamilton Design: I have enjoyed crafting all my life and have been involved in the craft industry for several years. I started drawing images to use on cards for my own use and then went on to design some stamps for a well known craft company.I am an avid lover of nature so most of my drawings are of flowers, birds and animals. Even when I can’t travel I love spending time in the garden, growing plants and looking after them. I hope you enjoy colouring my digi images, I have several YouTube vidoes here.

and a prize of two border stamps.
