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

Penny Black for Allsorts and Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

As part of the Allsorts Challenge Design Team, we can partake in the Penny Black and more Challenge as a DT if we like to.
I always seem to forget but as I was going through my Topper box last Thursday, I found this stamped image and I know it's Penny Black 40-286 Jubilant.
The theme is Springtime.


**************
Back to Happy Sunday.
At my Craft Club on Friday, these were the gifts I made boxes for and gave to the ladies.





A fold flat box as made by Sam at Pootles on You Tube.






And the gifts were these lovely Vintage looking tins, about   
4 x 3".
I thought they might be handy for storing little crafty items in.


**************************
Last weeks challenge on my Facebook page and at my Craft Club was this sketch.

Now onto this weeks little challenge.
I am sharing my DT card for Crafty Friends from yesterdays blog post.
Make A Card For A Man or Boy.
I tend to always use LOTV toppers for this type of card.

Craftyhazelnuts PP Challenge

Good Morning All

I used 2 sheets from an LOTV paper pad and made an Eclipse card, they seem to be quite fashionable at the moment.I had to add butterflies as the tape ripped some of the paper on the G.
I slightly offset the letters on black foam.

Eclipse Card

Good Morning All

My crafty friend Val J wants to try an Eclipse card and she asked me could we  do them one week at my Craft Club.
Not  a problem, except that I have never done one before.
So I asked Jen could I use her large Alphabet dies.

I used a card from some  I was given by Linda from Animal Aid afew years ago
(sadly I think she now suffers with dementia)
I offset the top letters slightly on the black to make them stand out more.
Quite pleased with how it turned out for a first attempt.

I shall be trying so more so watch this space.
