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

Masculine for MAWTT & Colour Outlawz Challenge

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

Masculine

I made a couple for this one both different styles.

This one is a leftover piece of parchment, groovied a sentiment and added to navy card, patterned paper and pale blue card.


This one  5x7 and a topper I aquired when I bought a load of craft items from a lady finihing her crafting  time.
The backing paper is from an LOTV  8x8 paper pad.


***********************

This is the colour pallete to use


My card  -  I inked the backing card with Olive Ditress ink.
Then different  shades of plum and orange with a little blue.
Stamped the image and sentiment.

My cataract surgery is scheduled  for Thursday, so will have to see, literally, how it goes.

Heart Base Card for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is

Heart Shaped Card Base

I made this gorgeous card for my eldest sisters Golden Wedding Anniversay.  I have since personalised it for her and her hubby.



I used a 8x8 card base and cut it into aheart shape.
I had to snip the bottom up so that it would stand up.

A diecut heart and champagne bottle and glasses. 
I tied pink paper ribbon around the heart before I glued it to the base.
I really am proud of this one.

Two the Same

 Good Morning All

Two cards today made with the  same decoupaged topper that I aquired from a friends stash she was giving away.

I used two card blanks that I had already made using two pieces of card and ribbon.

Then added a suitable sentiment.

Scraps for Backgrounds

 Good Morning All

Two cards today using scraps to make the backgrounds.

Any strips of card I have left over I put in a file and make diagonal backgrounds like these.

This first one uses a digital topper and peeloff sentiment on a tag diecut.


This topper is another offcut of pretty paper matted onto white card.


What do you think?

Abit of Groovi

 Good Morning All

I have 4 Groovi cards to share today. They are fairly quick to make except the green one which is more delicate.

This one has a little bit of colouring .


This one is done in metallic pens on the right side instead of the Groovi tool.




CHALLENGE entered  -  Allsorts  824  Birthday

I'm happy with them all and will probably keep for my own use.
