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 very simple card from me. Sentiment stamped straight onto the card base and a diecut butterfly that I was given  by a lady in one of my groups.

 Good Morning All

Abit more Shabby Chic today with this card.

A digital image and a diecut sentiment.

I added afew gems on corners.


I like to add a Thank You card in the boxes I give to the charities for raffle prizes as I think it's nice to give and receive a nice Thank You card, dont you?

Happy with this one.

Tag in a Card

 Good Morning All

This card I have for you today has a parchment pocket with a tag.

The backing paper is Shabby Chic and fits the theme  of the tag with books and flowers.


I did use these tags for a DT a while ago so I decided to use one for a card instead of going in pockets in a journal.

I really do like it too.

Mono for MTTC

Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is

Mono  -  shades of 1 colour

Metalic and neutral allowed.

These words came from a 12 x 12 paper pad.

I had been using some of the small square on the cards below and I thought  they were perfect for this challenge theme, chosen by me.





I really enjoyed making these cards and used all papers and card I cut into for all the mats and layers so one happy bunny.

Magnetic Book marks for BG DT

 Good Evening All

My DT make for Bea Grob this month is Magnetic Bookmarks.



My first try went wrong so I turned them into tags!!!
Explanation in my video!


I chose one of Beas digital prints  of script,  A4 size.


I cut it into 4 x 2" strips

                        Then cut those in half lengthways

Then I cut 2 and 1/4" strips from a 12x12 card pad

I folded them in half  with the white side on the outside.  Rounded the bottom corners, and inked the edges.

I punched some tabs and circles from another sheet of the digital prints.



I used a magnet on each  piece on the inside and stuck a circle over each one.
This pic is lining the magnet up to stick on the other piece.


I glued a tab on the top ready to attach an eyelet and a tassle or a dangle.


I have a video up on You Tube showing my process.

In the description box there are links to all Bea's products, Blog and shop.
