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

Cats & Dogs for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft challenge this fortnight is

Cats and/or Dogs

I made my background with Oxides and a stencil.

I added an LOTV topper with mats but then decided to offset them for a different effect.

All matted onto black card and a 6x6 white card blank.

One of my own printed sentiments too.


Hop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the DT makes from across the world.

Arabella's Birthday card

 Good Morning All

This is the card I made for one of my Granddaughter's birthday a couple of weeks ago.

I do like these box cards, so effective.

Arabella was 6, hence the foam '6' on the front panel.




I hope she received it ok, you never know the way the postal service is these days.

**************
This is a card I sent my youngest son, not that he gets much time to sit around in the chair very much!!!!!

********
This is a journal page I did last night.  I show these more on my Instagram than on here but I do love  this one.  Anything with sunflowers, I love.

I am entering this into Allsorts Challenge 744  option Sunflowers

Squares

 Good Morning All

Some more cards with little squares today.

This one is laid out in a different pattern instead of the  nine.


Both of these card use inch squares and 1.5 inch.

This one sort of follows on from last Wednesdays post with the sentiment as the focal point.  This one uses the square left over from previous makes.

This is a great way of using some scraps of card and paper.

Sentiments

 Good Morning All

Afew cards today with Sentiment as the focal point.

All quite simple and easy, great for filling the charity boxes.

I love this die cut, very delicate. It comes in two pieces.


Not as keen on this diecut, more for men cards I think.


Love this one too, again in two pieces.


What do you think??

Thinking Of You

 Good Morning All

A couple of stencilled cards today.  These two are picture stencils, by that I mean they are the main focus of the card, not a background.

Both fairly simply cards as they are both sympathy cards.




I am getting more into using my stencils and inks and enjoying it which is the main thing.
