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

Good Morning All
As it is sooo hot here I have hardly been in my craft room as far too hot, so I have been staying in the living room with OH and AC on.  So I have finished another quiet book for Noah or Aurora, I will show it in afew day when I have taken pics.

'Add A Butterfly' is the theme this week for Allsorts Challenge hosted by Tracy Mouse.


I used a Tonic die for this one which incorporates the butterfly and is very pretty.
I mounted it onto a diamond embossed card and added afew pearls.

Good Morning All

Spanish lesson this afternoon so will have to revise last weeks lesson before we go. 
We are going to stay on at the bar for something to eat as we came 2nd in the quiz on Sunday and won a 10euro food voucher to spend there, so that will save me thinking of what to cook for dinner tonight.!!!!

Todays card is white on white.  I look at other peoples creations and they are stunning.  I dont have many Spellbinder dies (which I will have to rectify soon) so I cant cut out all the gorgeous, intricate patterns some people use, but  here it is.

Tag

Good Evening all

Today I made a tag using a gorgeous freebie from Astrid Artistic Efforts blog.  She has some amazingly gorgeous freebies on her blog, she is one talented and generous lady.
I printed her sheet off and used one tag and one butterfly and decorated it with my own flowers and die cut swirls.  Ribbon and gems and bits off a peeloff sheet were added to bling it up.   I know tags are quite fashionable at the moment - over on Docrafts there is a tag swap.

 I will use this to put on a card but I think it looks really good.  Let me know what you all think please.

I am entering this into -
