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

Groovi Christmas

 Good Morning All

Last weekend I got stuck into my Christmas cards, making some and recycling some from last year.

These are all new makes and this is using two plates from my Groovi collection.  It is green parchment matted onto a green turquoise Mirri card.  I found two lovely snowflake brads in my stash.


These next two cards are using a large plate I borrowed from one of my craft group ladies.  It is nine small images of Christmas trees so I made a load of them thinking they would make nice quick cards which they did.  I think they look quite classy.



Then this last one is my favourite plate for Christmas, it also looks good adding glitter to the swirls too.


I have written most of my cards as we are going back to UK early November for my Mum's 100 birthday, so I want to leave all the ones for posting with my sister for her to post for me. 

Do you like them?

Recyled

 Good Morning All

I have been recycling cards that were given to me for my Birthday back in May.

Some of them I know just by looking at them, who they are from!!









Do you recycle your cards??
I cant throw them out so when I do this I put them in the charity box so I know I am doing good by them.

Spring for MTTC

Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge is

Spring

hosted by Margaret (In Australia) 

I made a Spring Themed Folio using a kit from FabiArtStudio on Etsy.

I also added a notebook then I can give as a gift at Christmas or sell to raise funds for the charities.

This is the front tied with seam binding and a dangle


Inside with a pocket on the left with journal cards and the notebook.

           
   Once the notebook is flipped over it reveals two more pockets with tags

And on the back is another pocket with more journal cards.


I love this and would love to receive it as a gift.

Journal Cards for Bea Grob DT

 Good Evening All

This is my 1st DT for Bea Grob (Media Artist)


I decided to make some Journal cards for a Journal I am making (WIP)

Satin and Lace trim at the top, Washi stickers and Words and labels from a digital sheet.  All available in Bea's Shop  (not the satin & lace, that's from my stash)



I started by cutting 4x6" pieces of card and rounded the botton 2 corners.


Then I tore strips of blue satin material and cut strips of lace, longer than the card as they will be gathered.


Then lightly glue along top edge, gathering as you go, put lave on top and sew on machine or by hand.


Here they are tucked under a page flip.


And a hidden paperclip added to hold in place.



Here is my video explaining and showing the process.


I hope you like them
