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

Dies Challenge Day 54 & Journal Page 15

Good Morning All

Another Journal page today and it is getting quite full.
I dont mean all the pages are decorated, I mean that with the tucks and extras added it is getting stuffed so not many more to show I dont think.




The orange scroll are cut using Memory Box and the Ivy using Cheery Lynn.
All listed below.








I had some cut off strips from the coffee stained papers so I made a little  journaling letter and Mod Podged a piece of serviette onto each one.
Tucked them behind the fence and the bird houses.















These are the various dies.

Dies Used   ------
114.  Marianne LR0205 Fence & Birdies
115.  Memory Box 98153 - Elegant Scrollwork
116.  Cheery Lynn - CR1253
******************

The campo where we walk Rico is all getting built on now but there are still plots that are open to wild flowers and these are some that are so pretty.
They close up when the sun goes down and then a lovely field of yellow in the daytime.

This is them all closed.


They have a leaf a little bit like clover

And here they are all open in the sunshine.


They are so beautiful.

That is the sentiment on this card.
Two dies and an Embossing Folder used on this one plus some pretty Picot Parchment flowers and some punched ones too.  This is how I use my odd bits of parchment, small pieces get punched, abit larger get picot cut.
