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

For the Men

 Good Morning All

Here's a couple of cards for the men.

I bought the digi images on Etsy and they are very useful for Man cards.


This one is using scraps from the box, offcuts of card and paterned paper.


Two useful cards to have on stock or for the charity box.

Doodling

 Good Morning All

I made this card using a couple of Doodles I found in a box on my desk.  I am on a mission at present to sort my desk and my trolley at the side of my desk.

Whenever I clear it all, I promise myself I am not going to let it mount up again and it always does.

Anyway, back to the card.

Just a paint splodge and a quick floral doodle over the top, then diecut with a  pierced square from Creative Expressions.


I really like this one.

Floral Notebooks

 Good Morning All

No Craft Group today as it is what we call a Red day (Bank Holiday) here in Spain so everywhere is shut.

So I guess I will be in my craftroom!!!!

Perhaps making some more of these Notebooks.

I took a box of them to my Slimming Group and sold quite afew, I didn't realise how many I had made over the months, until I put them all together to take to group.

They are about 4x6 and I use all the offcuts of paper  left over from my card inserts.



Very handy to keep in a handbag and they do make a nice little gift too,

Not A Card for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time  has been chosen by Maria.

Not A Card

So, guess what, I made a Folio.  It is Sunflower themed from a kit by FabiArtStudio on Etsy.

There are pockets, tags and journal cards all included in the kit and I added a notepad made from card insert offcuts.


This is the front  tied with seam binding  and a Dangle added to the spine.


A back view once folded out, there is a pocket on the back with journal cards.



Inside, the notebook is on the left and under it is another pocket.

This is inside the front fold with a pocket with tags added and the notebook on the right.

I love making these and they make great gifts or Happy Mail or I sell them for the charities or include one with a journal.
