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

Happy Anniversary

Good Morning All

Today is the Wedding Anniversary of our friends Andrew and Amanda.


I dont really give Anniversary cards but as Andrews Birthday was on Friday, I took this one at the same time.
I cant show you his Birthday card as I have used it for a DT card in the future.
This one came about because I was making a card my my little challenge for my Craft Club ladies and Facebook page for next week.
(Maybe a little clue here as to what it may be )




The groovi border is one of the Queen Grid plates.

A tiny envelope with a tiny card inside.

The background card was made using a technique showed by Pete Simpson on Hochanda.
Ink the paper in a couple of different colours then scrunch it up, spritz it with water and tap with black ink over the raised creases, then run through die cutting machine to flatten out.
Very effective.

More Bits & Bobs

Good Morning All
When I get a new die I always try it out to check that it cuts well, so I have quite afew die cuts that I need to use.
This pretty heart  is one of them.
The lilac glitter die cut behind it is a piece that did not cut too well so I just used the good sides!!
The patterned Mirri is some I bought from C&C years ago before we moved here.
Still determined to use some of my old stuff!!!!

It was my John's Birthday yesterday, he is now officially a pensioner.
We had a lovely day, I took him shopping for some new trainers.
Then in the evening we out for a lovely meal, and our neighbours joined us, so that was great fun and a good natter. X
