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

Doodling Squirrel

Good Morning All
This card I am sharing today came about because Barbara Gray and Tina Cox from Clarity did a Hochanda show about doodling on Parchment and designer papers.

They used a stencil that had sections in it and doodled a different pattern in each section.
As I did not have the stencils, I improvised with what I had in my Groovi stash and I had bought this Squirrel plate a short while ago.
The sections around the outside of the squirrel looked perfect for what I wanted.
I used designer parchment  and  worked the plate then  worked the doodles on the back.
Just went where my mind took me and doodled away.
Here is the work in progress.


I added a sentiment tag with Seam Binding.
Not perfect by any means but happy with it and something abit different.

I also wanted to show you a couple more Groovi cards.
One I made for Johns Mum for Easter.  Now we dont normally send an Easter Card to her but as I was posting some to the Grandkids, I thought I would send her one as it will be nice for her to receive post in the nursing home.
I kept it nice and bright and mounted it onto some  inked paper I had done and it  matched very well.

This is my Grandaughters birthday card from back in March so I thought I would show this one too.
 The thing I like about Groovi is that I can personalise or add sentiments with the many different fonts that come on some of the plates.

When I made this card, I took it in to my craft club and Denise has a grand daughter named Aurora too.
So she borrowed the plates and some parchment to make the same card and now she is a convert too and has ordered the starter kit..
