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

AG with Vintage option for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme is Anything Goes but  Mervi has also added a Vintage theme too if you would like to use it.

I found these vintage pieces in my stash, goodness knows where they came from, so I used them all on this card and they fitted the Vintage theme too.

The lace is from Crafty Ribbons (link in sidebar)


We have 
sponsoring 
and this prize too
Indigo Blu Rose Blush stamp

I made this extra card using Ruth's Hollyhocks digi.  I have used this before and coloured it pink, very easy and enjoyable to colour.

Vintage for Allsorts

Good Morning All

It was wonderful seeing my friend from UK, it is like we have never been apart.
My John and her hubby got on really well too, they had only  met very briefly at Lucas' funeral so that was more than  5 years ago.
*****
Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Mervi and the theme is Vintage.






I made a wall plaque for this one.

Once again I resort to these lovely vintage  pics, not many left now though.

Lots of lace and pearls.


I made the dangler decoration with orange beads to match the peachy lace.


I made the embellishment in the corner with some odd glass beads, tulle, feather and a  flower.


The bronze heart is from local China store and I added a satin tassle which I thought suited the                                                                                       theme too.




I enjoyed making this and I love how it turned out.
It is now hanging on the wall in my craft room.


Sponsor this week is Marianne

Vintage for Allsorts

Good Morning All
The winner of my prize from last weeks post is
Christine Harrop
I have heard from Christine, after she responded to my post last night, so her prize will be posted out on Monday.
******
Allsorts Challenge this week is 'Vintage'.  Now this is not something that comes easily to me, I love looking at others creations but I find it quite hard to do it.
If you have a look at Astrids Artistic Efforts Blog, she does Vintage beautifully and she is very generous with some freebies too.


So it is one of Astrids freebie sheets I have used for this card and I am very pleased with it too.
With her images I have  added satin ribbon with 2 of my bead pins, a lovely pink doily, inked on the edges and some pearls and gems flowers from my local China store.

We have  two sponsors this week
