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

Spring Flowers for MAWTT & Colour challenge for Outlawz

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is  hosted by Jenny and her theme is 

Spring Flowers.

I made two cards with the same image in different colours.

I think they are Primroses and  they are so pretty.  I was given these by one of the ladies in  my Groovi Group.


I made one into a Birthday card.


CHALLENGES-------

And this one is a Sympathy  or Get Well card.
I love this marbled paper on the background.


This card would actually suite the Outlawz Colour Challenge too as it is.......

This is the card I mde using strips of coloured card as the base, added a Groovi sentiment and some mini butterflies.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

The challenge at my Craft Group this week is SPORT.

I bought a pad of toppers from the local craft shop .  It was Hunkydory and mostly sports of different types, so I have quite afew cards to show.










So a good selection of sports covered with this lot.
A great buy I think and I gave the ladies the pick of the images I had left over to make their cards too.

The gifts I gave out were Mint Viscount Biscuits in little envelopes made from bookpages.

Groovi

 Good Morning All

Two Groovi cards to show you today.

A lovely one for a New Baby baby mounted onto pink card then a pink Mirri card.


The backing for this card is made with Pixi Powders and the Groovi work is a Fairy sat in the Moon.


Both quite easy Groovi plates to use.

Cutie

 Good Morning All

A little bit of cuteness on this card.

A Puppy in a teacup doesn't get much cuter!!!!

I'm still trying to use offcuts of card too, this one had embossed at the bottom half and  a tiedye effect on the top with ribbon to hise the join.


And this one is a Tonic topper and going in one of the charity boxes, which is where most of my cards go!!!
I think, just adding 3 mini butterflies, helps make it special. 

Which do you like best?
