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

Flowers for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

As its the 1st of the month its Moving Along With The Times Challenge time.Tinz has chosen a theme of 

Flowers

I decorated one of the boxes I make for the Charities to use as Raffle prizes.  I fit 8 various cards in so I think it makes a nice prize.



I decided to add  some punched parchment flowers to the other corner so this is it without them, I thought it could use more, never too many flowers!!

More Offcuts

 Good Morning All

Following on from Wednesdays post, using some offcuts, here are 4 more cards.

I hide the joins with ribbon or Washi tape like on this first one.

I added afew little butterflies as the bottom half is embossed with butterfly EF.


This one is ribbon from Crafty Ribbon UK, not sure if they are still trading.  Not much else needed I dont think as the ribbon is so lovely.

Afew butterflies on this one too.


And more ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.


Four simple cards but I think they look good, what do you think.??

Santoro

 Good Morning All

A while ago I was lucky enough to win a challenge over at Allsorts and Brenda posted the prize to my friends Mum and she brought it over for me.

It was Santoro toppers and a die so here are two cards using some of the goodies.

On this first one I am using some scraps for the mats.



This one is a 6x6 paper pad that I was gifted a long time ago..
