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

I have seen lots of CAS cards on Pinterest and thought I would have a play.

I embossed some lines with my board too, faintly visible.

Added afew gems or butterflies and some quick cards for the boxes.






Very happy with these and I have more to show you on Friday.
What do you think?

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

This is the challenge I set in my Craft Group on Friday.

BUTTONS


One of my ladies, Maggie gave me a bag of green buttons, all different shapes and sizes.

So I pulled some out and added afew red ones from my stash and made this Christmas card.  Some of the buttons I tied twine through the holes and I stamped the sentiment.

I took the remaining buttons with me for them to pick some to use.

************** 

Gifts I gave out were a Pen and Pencils housed in a handmade Envelope.

Always useful and makes a change from Chocolate!!

Mixed Coloured Florals for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time  is

Mixed Coloured Florals

I pulled 2 pieces of  Floral paper from an LOTV  pad and cut  a shape using a die Frames & Tags  -  Maggie by Sue Wilson.I used the white background paper for the Mat and the Pink background one under the trellis circle.

The Pink mat at the back is cream card inked with Pickled Raspberry Oxide ink and used the same brush to ink the edges of the diecut too.


To use the papers as they were from an 8x8 pad, I made another card.
White paper at the top and Pink at the bottom and hid the join with the same grosgrain ribbon as I used on the other card.
I added stickles to both butterflies.


I really must use my dies more, I enjoyed making these two cards using some.

Groovi for Men

 Good Morning All

I have a couple of Mens cards for you today made with the Groovi System.

Both quite straight forward using the plates, no snipping, but they still look great, I think anyway.


I have added a little bit of colour on the centre square on this owls and branches.


What do you think??

Odds

 Good Morning All

When I go to my Craft Group on Fridays, for the last couple of weeks  I have taken a bag of my scraps and make mats for my cards.  I add a strip of ribbon to hide the join.

This is one of them and I added a cute topper from LOTV.


This one is stencilled very faintly and a big die cut Happy Birthday and I added crystal gems on the first letters of each word.

Groovi Grids

 Good Morning All

I have been getting into my Groovi Groove just lately and here are two cards made using the Italian Grids.


These grids are easier to line up than some of the other and I think they look so pretty.


I attached this using a Groovi Corner punch and I did add some glue under the floral topper.


These two will be kept for my own use!!
