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

Colouring for MAWTT

 Hi

My 2nd post today is for Moving Along With The Times Challenge where the theme for this month  is 

To use a Colouring Medium

Well the only medium I use for colouring images  is Polychromo Pencils and I have made two cards for this one.

This one is a pre printed card from Inky something (I cant remember the full name)

I thought this would make a good Mans card.



This is one  on parchment paper where I put the image under the parchment and colour then there is no outline on the top, which I think looks good.



I really enjoy doing these as they dont take too long and I can do them on my laptray.
I bought the images from Etsy, cheap as chips.

Fave Craft Item for MAWTT

 Hi

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

Favourite Craft Item or Tool, Die Stamp etc.

At present I am loving my Groovi parchment work again, ever since my fall, I have been doing alot of it.

Here are two that feature the Poppets collection of images and Grid work which I love doing and it's very effective too.

This is a circle grid with a pre coloured Poppet before adding a sentiment.


Sentiment added

It still amazes me how piercing 4 holes and snipping gives this lovely cross.

This one is an un coloured poppet, which I have left just added afew gems.

Anything Spring for MAWTT

 Hi

My second post today, as it's the 1st, is Moving Along With The Times Challenge and a theme chosen by Brenda

Anything Spring

So I made and Easter card for 2 of my Grandaughters, Hollie And Tessie.

I used an LOTV Topper with a bunny and daffodils, added my own sentiment, a doily and some gems and punched flowers in the bottom corner.




I left this at their house when I visited last month with a little treat inside too (money), that's what they are most interested in now, more than Easter eggs!!

Birds / Bees for MAWTT

 Hi

My 2nd post today, as it's the 1st of the month, is for 

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog

The theme is

Birds and / or Bees

This theme has been chosen by Tracey.

So, on my first card, I included both by using a bird paper and a bee charm.



My second card is using offcuts.
I am determined, when I cut into a piece of paper, to try and use all of it, to cut down on stashing them all in a file!!!
That's my theory anyway!!
I even used some peeloffs on this one too, got to use them too !!!


***********
I had a fall last week and ended up in A&E.
I have got ligament damage in my right  foot and have to rest as much as I can and not put weight on it, hence I'm having to use crutches.
Therefore lots of crafting getting done, crochet and groovi, things I can do on my lap while keeping my leg elevated.

MAWTT

 Hi Everyone

Todays post is Moving Along With The Times Challenge.

I have remained on the Design Team but passed over to Helen the running of the blog.  She has recruited afew new members to the team too which oe really good.

The theme for the month of October is

Sentiments

This one is done with the Groovi system, very easy but very effective.

I coloured the balloons only on the back and matted on Clarity designer paper then gold mirri card.


I made another 2 using a Clarity stencil wreath and drawing it with a fine liner pen then colouring the leaves and adding a die cut sentiment in the middle.



Thats it for today, see you at the weekend.

I made a couple for this one both different styles.

This one is a leftover piece of parchment, groovied a sentiment and added to navy card, patterned paper and pale blue card.


This one  5x7 and a topper I aquired when I bought a load of craft items from a lady finihing her crafting  time.
The backing paper is from an LOTV  8x8 paper pad.

This is the colour pallete to use


My card  -  I inked the backing card with Olive Ditress ink.
Then different  shades of plum and orange with a little blue.
Stamped the image and sentiment.

My cataract surgery is scheduled  for Thursday, so will have to see, literally, how it goes.

White on White for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

White on White

Now this is a tyoe of card I love but always find a little difficult as I want to add a little colour or ink the edges and obviously have to abstain.

I used pealised white paper and ran it through a Butterfly EF

Cut the ends, added a white satin bow to the top of each one and then a peeloff sentiment.

Happy New Year MAWTT Thanks

 Good Morning All

Best Wishes to one and all for 2025

The Challenge for Moving Along With The Times this month is

Thank You

I made two cards for this one and these came about because I was trying to clear a box on my desk that all bits and bobs get thrown into, well not thrown but you know what I mean.



I really did not cut anything for this, everything is from the box and I did clear it too.
I now am working on the trolly on my left side of desk that has files with lots of stuff in.  Every time I clear it I promise that I am NOT going to let it build up  ever again!!!!
Who am I kidding????
