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

More Than One Layer

Good Morning All

This is the last challenge for Lady Anne.  We have the theme of 'More than One Layer' which is a nice easy one.

I made this one as a jokey card  really.  Most women hate hitting 40 so I thought the young image was good with this thought 'Behold The Ageless Wonder'

I used a Sassy studio image as they are the sponsor for this month

Autumn / Fall

Good Morning All
The theme this month at Lady Annes Challenge is Autumn Fall so the card I have made is all browns, oranges and yellow.  I would love, love love to go to Boston USA in the fall, it always looks so picturesque when you see it on TV, anyway, back to card making.


I used a digi from the Bugaboo who is sponsoring this challenge.  I do find their digis nice and easy to colour.
This is very much a recycled card ----
Odd pieces of ribbon and twine left on my desk
Leaves cut from scraps
Off cuts from die cuts (Edges)

Items used ----
Lecrea Multi Die for leaves No. 45.8961

The Great Outdoors

Good Morning All
It is the day for Lady Annes Challenge and we are sponsored by Inky Impressions who produce some gorgeous digi images, the one I used is such a cutie.

I coloured him with my Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs and mounted him on Sissix Scalloped Squares.  I made the bunting myself and used the same twine as I used on the green buttons.  I chose the sentiment because it is green and has 3 buttons on it, to match the buttons I used for the bunting.



Inky Impressions will give the chosen winner a $10 voucher to spend in their online store.

Lady Anne Challenge DT


Good Morning All
You may have seen my good news on yesterdays post about  being asked to join Lady Annes new challenge DT.  This is a monthly challenge and I am really looking forward to the new challenges with my new team mates.

Our first challenge is a sketch and here is my card  -----------
I followed the sketch which was nice and easy and the images from Daisy Doodles were fab to work with, I chose a sentiment as-well, me being greedy!!
I coloured the image with Promarkers.  Glued narrow yellow satin ribbon on strips of green card for the verticals and used wider green satin ribbon for the horizontals.  The two flowers were cut using Marianne dies and I used hand made paper and stuck a gem in the centre.





As I mentioned, the sponsor this month is -----

Daisy Doodle Digis
