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

Summer Fun for Allsorts

Good Morning All

I am hosting Allsorts Challenge this week and I have chosen a theme of
Summer Fun

I went with a pastel card and paper.
I found this lovely vintage image from Crafters Companion of two little girls catching butterflies and popping them in a jam jar.
Do you remember doing that when you were little, I do.
Mum used to pack us up a picnic of jam butties and a bottle of cordial and off we would go for the day, no worries about safety, just fun.

I printed the sentiment out.
Added a piece of a paper doily on one edge.
And some gems.

Digi??

Good Morning All


Another Digi card  I'm not sure where from.

I am clearing my Digi folder out and I know I should write on the back whose they are but I didn't.

A very simple card really.

Thanks for the visit and see you Saturday.

Anything Goes for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

It is my turn to post for Crafty Ribbons today and I have these cute envelopes to show you which I decorated with ribbons from the store.
I made the envelopes on My Memory Keepers board and they are about 3 x 4.5 inch, big enough to hold a gift card and this is what I use them for.
I give 2 shop vouchers for prizes at my Craft Club every week.







All the ribbons are grosgrain and are available HERE.

A challenge from Gi Kerr

 Good Morning All


A folio to show today.

I made this for a challenge on Facebook set by Gi from Happiness in Crafting.

She gives out a freebie every Friday and she set a challenge to use them along with an envelope template she gave .

This is what I made, a shabby chic folio.



I used as many bits as I could and added a notebook made with coffee dyed papers.






Lots of pockets and tucks and secret places.

There are over 100 entries so I dont hold out much hope!!!!!!

Happy Sunday & Challenge

Good Morning All

My challenge for the Craft Club ladies and yourselves, if you wish to join in, is
Black & White. (plus gold or silver ONLY)

My card is very simple.
I found this digi is my stash, don't know whose it is.
I just mounted it onto black card which I punched in the corners added a gold pearl and a sentiment and that was it.

****************************
The gifts I gave out on Friday were these boxes containing a sponge.
Some of the ladies said they would use them in their craft rooms to keep their pins in or glue tops.
I suggested cutting a hole in the middle to store the glue bottle in upside down,!!

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

Last weeks challenge was to make  something Christmas with ribbon.
I gave my ladies a piece of ribbon from Crafty Ribbons to use as they wished and they came up with some belters.

Mine.
