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

2 Dinosaurs

 Good Morning All

Two more kids cards one  for the box and one is my Grandsons Birthday card in November, both with toppers from LOTV.



Backing papers are from Clarity and the mushroom ribbon is from Crafty Ribbon in UK.


Another great quote I have seen.


So True.

Two more Kids Cards

 Good Morning All

Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas.  John and I are going to Benidorm, but to be honest, I think we both wish we weren't with all the Covid situation.  If we had not already paid for it I dont think we would go but all we can do is try to keep ourselves safe.  We are trying to get our boosters before we go but they are not doing our age group yet but we will keep trying.

 Here are two more kids cards for the charity box and they feature the same toppers as the ones last week, Peter Rabbit.

Again, I was using scraps on my desk and left over gems from my Chrystal art



Thanks for visiting.

A couple of cards for the Kids

 Good Morning All

One of my Craft Club ladies gave me some Peter Rabbit images so I thought I would make some kids cards for the charity box.

The paper is from an LOTV pad backed onto peachy coloured card.


This second card is using the scraps left over from the first one.


Just tiny bit of snow here in Corby and very cold, but that is fine by me.
I die cut some of John's (JND) crackers before I came here so that Hollie and Tess could decorate them.

Anything Goes for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

Crafty Ribbons have some amazing Grosgrain ribbons, lots and lots of themes.
This one is from their cartoon range and I thought it would be perfect for Noahs birthday.


Aswell as using it in strips, I cut a couple of the individual images and stuck on a small piece of card with red liner tape

I also used some seam binding on the sentiment tag too, that comes in lots of colours.


*********************
I have been doing alot of knitting and crochet while we have been in lockdown.
I bought this lovely cotton yarn from my local craft shop before it closed for lockdown and I have made myself a top, made Tess a top and done mask adaptors to send to UK and Mums card home.
The link for this top



I love this top which was a free pattern on You tube, I just hope it fits her.
Here is the link







And this is what I sent to Mums care home plus another 100 to various hospitals.

Cute Dinosaur

Good Morning All

I,m still in the UK at my sons and loving every minute with my Granddaughters, Hollie & Tess.
Except, I have horrible toothache, I had to go to emergency dentist on Friday and I thought it had settled, but bad again today on and off.
******
I dont make many children's cards other than for my grand kids but this is one I made a while ago.
The Dinosaur is from LOTV I think.
Mounted onto Embossed card and the side panel is a scrap left over from a Pixie Powder sheet covered with acetate.


See you soon.

CAS for MAWTT

Good Morning All
CAS 
has been chosen by me.

Now I find CAS cards fairly hard as I want to add lots of embellishments.
I made the first one  with the balloons then saw another idea on Pinterest.
Hope you like them.

I die cut the letters using an X Cut Alphabet die for this one, added a peeloff Birthday cake and that's it.


Pop over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT have made.
************
John and I have been going to a quiz on Friday nights and last week, this is what we came home with - not the kettle LOL. Good to restock the wine rack but not so good to restock the biscuit tin!!!!

Children Cards

Good Morning All

Here are three cards I have made aimed more towards children.
I dont really make kids cards but really need to get some in the box for the charities.

They are all using offcuts of card on my desk.
This one is a decoupage image.

And these two are Paintbox Poppets toppers


I gave 55 cards to another Animal charity last week.
They were having a few stalls to try to raise money to help feed the dogs so I gave them cards and a couple of items to sell - Baby blanket and gift boxes.

I hope they did well.
****
There is no Allsorts DT post tomorrow as the current challenge runs for two weeks, so back on Sunday with Craft Club makes and challenge.

Postpals

Good Morning All

I am going to visit Mum and family next week.
Normally I will take alot of cards to post to Post Pals (link in sidebar) that some of my Craft Club ladies have made, but this time I am only on hand luggage so cannot take many.
I usually do this design, as I cut the circles from waste card whenever I am diecutting.
I love this ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, I thought it was perfect for these cards.



I hope they put a little smile on the faces of the kids that recieve them.
