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

Easy peasy.

So here goes, take your pick!!!!






I thought I  had made enough for myself and the charity but then a lady asked for a load so I had to get cracking again.

I'm going in the PINK with todays cards.

I used the same backing paper on both cards with toppers from LOTV.



I think they look very pretty and will be good in the charity boxes.

Honeycomb die

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

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.
