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

Honeycomb die

 Good Morning All

I'm using one of my fave dies on these two cards, a honeycomb.

Add a sentiment die cut too and I dont think they need much more.

Better

 Good Morning All

Well I think I am finally over my chest infection, thank goodness I got some antibiotics as quick as I did.

We had abit of a scare with Mum last week too.  I couldn't go over because of the chest infection but we had the call that the home were putting in the End of Life care as she was unresponsive.

So we were prepared for the call.

Then one of my sisters called to say her daughter (Mums grandaughter) had been in to sit with her and she was sat in chair having her teeth cleaned!!!

She had a total turnaround and said she wanted to see in her birthday which was Friday 3rd, she was 99 years old.

She had a great day with lots of visitors too.


A couple of cards today, using the same stamp.  I used a silver ink pad I bought at Elipacrafts shop stamped on a dark blue card.

Mounted onto Hearts embossed mirri card.


Same on this one but mounted onto spotty paper and pale blue cardstock.

Christmas Animals for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

The theme for Moving Along With The Times Challenge is

Christmas Animals

chosen by  Jenny.

I made 3 cards for this one.

The first two using the same die just different colours.



This one is  just an Emboss folder with green pearl card.
I didnt think it needed more than a sentiment.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All


Well, I came home from hols with dreaded lurgy.  Thought it was a cold, which always affects my sinuses, but by yesterday morning I was feeling dreadful.  So I went to Docs and he prescibed antibiotics  as I have chest and throat infection.

 I,m updating this post at about 5am, had a reasonable night but still feel as though  my head and nose are going to explode!!  But at least I can swallow and breathe  a little easier than yesterday.

I did go to craft on Friday as I did only think it was a cold and I had done a Covid test which was negative. 

******************

This is the challenge card for this week, a sketch, a nice easy one.

Die Cuts

 Good Morning All

Well we are home and guess what  -  I'm full of cold.  It started the last few days we were away and sadly, when I get a cold it affects my sinuses, but heyho, life goes on.

***************

My cards today are using some die cuts that have been cut for ages.

Whenever I am using the Gemini, I always try to fill the plate if I can with leaves or hearts etc.




So a varied theme but at least I have used some older stash as I'm sure we all should do!!!!
