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 option use Stencil

 Good Morning All

Welcome to the Allsorts Challenge for with a theme  chosen by Brenda of

Anything Goes with an option of using a Stencil.

I am still playing with my Clarity Masks and loving them along with my Oxides.

I used the outer part of the mask to use as a stencil and inked through it with a contrasting colour, then stamped it randomly.   When I removed it I went around it with a fine tip pen.

I did get a couple of smudges, hence the gems left over from Crystal Art and I added alot more as I have loads left over.


Brenda is offering 

Two prizes, AALL and Create stencil  and Woodware stamp

  




Have fun.
-------
I caught a show in Create & Craft the other day,  I dont watch much selling TV but like to watch John and Clarity.  -anyway Barbara was on C&C and as I was searching catchup I clicked on a show with Sandra Rushton doing zentangles.  So off i popped to You tube to catch up on some more of her work and here are a couple of tiles I have done.
I drew the heart free hand, hence a little mis shaped!!!
But still quite pleased with it.

This one is only part done but I think it will turn out nice.



They can become quite addictive.

AG with Option of New for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge today is

Anything Goes with an option of using something NEW

I ordered a set of Masks from Clarity but I had them sent to Ricks house because of the import taxes here in Spain since last July.  So I was able to get them when I visited in December.

They are a set of  Happy words so I used Smile and stuck the word down first while I inked the card, then I took the word of and stuck the outside piece down while I inked the word in black.  The reason I did wiggly lines of glitter is because I smudged abit and I didn't want to waste it so used a glue pen and added copper coloured glitter then stuck a peeloff flower on the top of each line.


I like how it turned out and will be playing alot more with these masks.
They are A6 size

Prize on offer is a store voucher from

Helping Hands Craft is a UK retailer of craft and art supplies.  Established by keen amateur artist and mother of two, Emma, the website offers a range of over 2,000 arts and crafts products from modelling clay, pencils, pains, paper, easels...the works!  The website is constantly adding to its product lines, and recently was accepted as an official licensed retailer of Faber Castell products.
