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

 Good Morning All

After my last post on Wednesday about stamping, I do colour occasionally and here's  some  cards that have been done for a while.

I use Polychromo pencils and find them quite easy to blend. I don't have loads but I  do use them on my  parchment work  too.







More on Sunday for the challenge.

These are  the images I used, I bought them in my local craft shop postcard size.


What medium do you use for colouring?

Silhouette Stamps

 Good Morning All

I do enjoy using Silhouette stamps as I am not a great colourer.

This first card was so easy and quick.  The black card is embossed with a diamond pattern.

Afew strokes of paint to ground the stamp on and done.


This one is different colours of paint (watercolour) then stamped on top.
Love it.


This is inked through a stencil onto oxide coloured card. Afew raindrop gems added

This is stamped straight onto Oxide coloured card, random stamping.


And finally, another stamped onto painted card.




What do you think?

Choccy Boxes for charity

 Good Morning All

As you know I give alot of my makes to charity and I like to make boxes and fill with about 8 greeting cards for them to use as raffle prizes.  As I had quite afew boxes made I decided to fill with chocs for them.

I added a tiny label so that they would know what was inside and tied with ribbon.


These are the chocs I put in, they are like Ferero Roche, yummy.


I also bought  half a dozen bottles of various alcohol for their Tombola or raffles.
This is what the money goes to when I collect at my craft club  -  from selling cakes or, sometimes Dawn does a Lucky Dip.
It all helps.

Challenge entered Allsorts 748 AG

AG for MAWTT & Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

As it is the 1st of the month I have to combine my Sunday Challenge post with Moving Along With The Times Challenge.

Their theme is

Anything Goes

So I went to my Groovi plates and came up with this beauty.

I used one of the Italian Grid plates on rainbow parchment and used the offcut to make the butterfly.


The Design Team have come up with some beauties too so pop over and have a look and leave us a comment, that's always nice too.

I am making this card into my Craft Club challenge card to.
Lets see some Butterflies.
Here is another card I made with Butterflies on using a digi image.
