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

Clipart

 Good Morning All

These two cards are made with images I generated using a Clipart programme.

I have seen loads of images on a Facebook group and I love them so I thought I would have a go.

It's mpt something I will pursue but I just thought I would show you these.

You just add suggestions to the programme and it generates a picture.

I put Beagle, sunflowers, 2 girls and this is it.


This one was Beagles and daisies.

What do you think??

Happy Sunday Challenge & MAWTT Challenge 'Not A Card'

 Good Morning All

As it's the 1st of the month is is Moving Along With The Times Challenge time and the theme is 

NOT A CARD.

I made a Folio with a kit from Vectoria Designs on You Tube.

This is a link to her video and the freebie kit.

It is tied with seam binding to close.


The  left is a magnetic flap holding pockets together with a  journal card in each one.



A notepad inserted under a bellyband.


There are two envelopes and I added a mini notebook in one and a coffee dyed sheet in the other.


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

Well, we will be back at Craft Group in a couple of weeks but here is this weeks challenge

Butterflies

This is always a popular one.

I used offcuts from a card making session I had back in July.

Some of my mini punched butterflies and a diecut sentiment.

Stamperia

 Good Morning All

These three cards are made using a 12x12 scrapbook kit from Stamperia called ·Precious· that my friend bought me as part of my Birthday  gift.




It's a very beautiful kit, very traditional roses.
I made various cards  -  Thank you, Anniversary and Birthday, all for the charity box.

I have use Stamperia kits before and so versatile, both for cards and making journals and to use in my journal too.

Join me on Sunday for the MAWTT Challenge.

Tree Related for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge is hosted by Becca this time and her theme is

Something Tree Related

I had bought a die cut kit from my local craft shop  and it was Jungle Animals.   So I thought that would be a good place to start.

I chose the image of a Giraffe first.

Then I cut a square of white card and inked with Oxides.

Then I had some Animal and tree / shrub stamps that came free with a magazine so I stamped various grasses and branches.

Then added the topper and sentiment from the kit.

I am very happy with how it turned out and will make more I think.

Scraps

 Good Morning All

This  card is mostly Scraps.

All offcuts of card and even the image is a misprint, my printer cut the side off so I covered it with the  sentiment piece.

Spotty ribbon from Crafty Ribbon UK


I even made the butterfly with leftover crystal gems from a kit of Crystalart.


So its really Spots and Stripes.

Happy bunny using more scraps.
