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

Add Some Sparkle for Creative Craft Cottage

Good Morning All
Creative Craft Cottage this time is Add Some Sparkle.
I used this sweet image  called Willows Butterfly Friend from Lacy Sunshine.


Coloured her with Promarkers and used S/B Butterfy Circle  die to cut her out.
Papers are from My Minds Eye and I added Sparkles onto some of the butterflies and the flower and wings on the image.  I used Green Liquid pearls and smudged them so I had to add the big turquoise dazzlers to hide the mess !!!!

Anything Goes for Creative Craft Cottage

Good Morning All
My first post today is for Creative Craft Cottage and the theme is Anything Goes.



I coloured an image from our sponsor, 'All Dressed Up' mounted onto patterned gold mirri card and then added all bits and bobs from my stash, flowers, ribbon, bead pin.


This year I have not bought anything to make my Christmas cards, I have used all stuff from my stash that I have had for years.

Anything Goes for Creative Craft Cottage

Good Morning All
Creative Craft Cottage Challenge this time is Anything Goes, so that is a nice easy one for you if you want to enter. 


Our sponsor is All Dressed Up and I used this great digi from them 'Cool Dude'.
I decided to make a twisted easel card as I haven't done one for a while.
Being a 'man' card I kept it quite simple, just added a star charm on some twine.

I used an  image from Ppinky Dolls, our sponsor for this week, coloured with Promarkers.  I used a scalloped card blank, matted and layered the image onto 'My Minds Eye' paper and card inked on the edges.  The flower is made with a die I got  free with my Cut N Boss, Die'sire Pretty Petal.  Everything else is from my stash, ribbon gems, charms  lace etc.

Stripes / Spots for CCC

Good Morning All
I,m doing a craft fair today, not sure how well it will do as it is in a very small, very Spanish village as part of their annual fiesta celebrations.  I was asked if I would help out with a stall and assured there will be quite afew English there, as I dont make Spanish cards, I dont have the call for them, even though I live here LOL. xxxxx

********

Creative Craft Cottage Challenge this time is Stripe / Spots.


I used this great image from one of the sponsors, coloured him with Promarkers.
The  papers are from an LOTV paper pad and mounted onto a shaped card.  I kept it  quite simple, by that I mean I did not add any embellishments.

Sponsors are
Rick St. Dennis

and
The Cutting Cafe

Flowers

Good Morning All
Just a quick message before I get onto today's challenge.  If any of you know Val from Spain, she does comment on some of your blogs, she has had an operation on her eye to repair a hole in it (called a molecular something (I cant remember full name)) and she is partially blind in her other eye anyway, so she cannot visit any of us until further notice.  She had the op on Friday morning and they also found a tear in her retina too so they had to repair that also.  Now she has to lie face down for afew weeks which is not easy.
**************
The challenge theme this fortnight at Creative Craft Cottage is 'Flowers' and I used this lovely digi from our sponsor.




I used a lovely Sheena Douglas embossing folder that I got free with my Cut N Boss from Create & Craft that my OH has bought me for my Birthday  afew weeks ago, the deal was so good and they posted to Spain for 9.99 too.  I was abit dubious about ordering after the trouble I had last year with them, but it was all good and it was delivered within 10 days.
I coloured the digi with Promarkers and decorated with flowers, pearls, bead pin, ribbon and the leaf die is one borrowed from Val.

I decorated the inside too.





We have a couple of sponsors this week.
