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

Hunkydory

 Hi

I have given alot of cards to charity and put some in my local beauticians place, I need to replenish my box.

So I made some quick Man cards using a Hunkydory topper pad.

This is the pad I bought online when I was in the UK ealier this year along with 3 others.








What do you think?

Hunkydory

 Good Morning All


Well we got to Melbourne OK, very tired though but good after a full nights sleep.

We went into city yesterday and had a walk alomg the river and went up to the Skydeck, 88 floors.



 





One of my Craft ladies gave me a bag full of Hunkydory kits.

Although I do like them to look at, I must admit I am not a great fan of using them, but waste not want not as the saying goes. So I sat at my desk and set to with a set suitable for Man cards and here are the cards I made, lots of them!!! I think I made about 20 cards.

















Most of them are A5 size and they have filled my charity boxes up nicely!

Hunkydory as Allsorts Reminder

Good Morning All

No Allsorts Post today as last weeks challenge runs for 2 weeks as it is our Birthday weeks.
The theme is Anything Goes so these 4 cards just about cover it.
Hunkydory  members get a free offer every so often and only have to pay postage.
So the pack was delivered to Rick and Loriens and they posted it here for me along with some Bovril cubes, which I cant buy here.  I use these to make a drink, yummy.
There are 12  (4 x 3 of each theme)  sheets in the pack including 4 sheets of toppers.
I just used  1 lot of 3 sheets on these 4 cards.





These will all help fill the charity box up ready for when this virus is over, whenever that may be.
I must admit that I am happy to stay at home a while longer yet and only go out for necessities.
*****************
I have been doing alot of Crochet while on lockdown and here a summer cardigan I have done is a lovely soft cotton yarn which my local craft shop delivered to me.



I added the extra panel around the bottom to cover my bottom!!!

Hunkydory

Good Morning All

I started a subscription to Papercraft ......... and I got my first one last week.
With it, came a Hunkydory card making pack.
Now, as much as I love the look of Hunkydory I am not a big fan of using them but I must admit, that once I got started I did enjoy it.
I have used the odd pack before HERE

From the pack, I made  7  -  A5 size
2 Square
4  -  5 x 7 Stepper and still afew bits left over to make a couple more.
Here are afew of them.








                     I really enjoyed doing the stepper cards, not made any for ages of this style.

I took this opportunity to make Tess's Christmas card too as I thought these images were quite cute.

I cant wait to see the little one, in fact all of them when I go over in November.
She is chatting away now and out of nappies, so getting a big girl.

Hunkydory - Last 6

Good Morning All
Still in the Northwest visiting family, until Saturday, then hope to grab a lift off John as he is demoing in the area.  He lives about an hour away from Rick and Lorien.

Last six of the sixteen cards I made from just two sheets of Hunkydory toppers.
Some are A5, some A6, some DL and some square 5 x 5.
A mixture of Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You and Get Well








I have got quite a sense of usefulness and wellbeing from doing these, using scraps from stash and getting out of my comfort zone by using something I,m not used to.

Hopefully, after being with John I shall come back renewed and invigorated and wanting to try new ideas, as I do after watching him,  and all the others from the Creative Expressions team.
Plus I may have bought afew goodies from the CE shop,  but don't tell anyone.

Very pleased with this last one as I literally, used all the scraps, as tiny as they may be, from the other cards, to make the background.

More Hunkydory

Good Morning All

Afew more of the cards I made from just two Topper sheets from Hunkydory.







I must admit that when I got the sheets out, I looked at them and really had to think about how to use them.  But once I got started I was away.
I used lots of bits from stash, especially scraps of paper and card.

Some of the card had a picture of a Teddy already printed on it, like the first card on this post and I wasn't quite sure where to start with it.






Anyway, it has helped fill the boxes ready for the stall on the 28th.

I think they look OK, not to everyones taste, but I hope they will sell well and if not the charities will have them.
I always get good feedback from them.


Last 5 in afew more days.
