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

Outlawz DT

 Hi Everyone.

1st of the month means new challenges and today is Outlawz Twisted and ABAC Challenges and later on there will be MAWTT.

1st today is Anything But  A Card for Outlawz.

This time we have a theme of 

Lets Play  Make Something from Childhood.

Now these paper beads bring back some memories.  I made a big tin of these using old magazines and my intention was to make a hanging door curtain, which never happened by the way!!!!

I make them into Dangles for my Journals


I start with pieces of paper, either printed or magazines.

I mark 1cm intervals at top and the bottom but not in straight lines, I alternate the marks so I end up with very long triangles.


I use a quilling tool as these are very small, if bigger I would use a cocktail stick or very fine knitting needle.

Ending up with these, glue on the end.

Then I cover with Modpodge or Clear Nail varnish. 

Then I store them in a takeaway box until needed.

I add different bits - beads, chain or small ephemera.

They look good hanging off journal pages and I love making them.

*************************
Now onto the Twisted Challenge.
Colour challenge

I used a digital image and an inky background from my Reverse Colouring book and scraps of offcuts, stamped sentiment and some leftover crystal art gems.
The camera does alter the colour because in real life they are very similar to the chart.
