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

Cute

 Good Morning All

I treated myself to a Binding machine last week and this is my first make.

I used the left over strips of paper to make this booklet, its about 3" wide and 6" deep.

I embellished it with some digitals


One of my Craft Group bought it from me on Friday to give to her friend too!!.


This is a large card so I am keeping it for my own use, it is 8x8.
It is an LOTV topper and the paper is like flocked wallpaper, quite unusual.  All matted onto an 8x8 parchment which I snipped around .  Its a leftover piece from when I cut out squares for the Groovi group.

Using some Scraps

 Good Morning All

Todays  post is using lots of my offcuts.

When I go to my Craft Group, I often take some scraps and card bases with me and try to utilise as many offcuts as I can.


Then when I get home I get into my toppers and make into cards and add the Sentiments.





I get a great sense of satisfaction too.
How do you use your offcuts and scraps?

Butterflies

 Good Morning All

Butterflies are abound in this post.

Along with Oxides and stencilling.

The images are digitals from Sharm Studio over on Etsy.

This background is abit grungy and I like it.


These next three are inked and stencilled but all the same layout.




I really like these and nice, quick cards for the charity boxes.

Happy Sunday Challenge

Good Morning All

This weeks challenge is unscheduled.

At Craft Group on Friday we were making Fractured cards which I had never heard of until Val asked how to do them so I googled them.

And I love them and have now made loads.

So the ladies loved them  too so I decided to make that the challenge.



This is a You Tube I followed for the technique from Connie


*************
The gifts I gave out were Choccy Lollies from Aldi.


I try to include something the ladies can use on their cards.  
Here we have a dangle.

Last weeks challenge was BUTTERFLIES

Alot of lovely cards, the ladies obviously like making butterfly cards!!
