Guest Designers
Doreen from Doreen's Dream

Hello...I am Doreen,a very enthusiastic crafter living in Sheffield UK. I am married and have three grown up children and three Grandchildren. I have always crafted in one way or another . But now prefer to get mucky with inks and paint.

Barbara from Glitterarti

I have been crafting all of my life....well, since I was 4 years old. I love days when I can get out of bed, not bother with make-up, or housework and go straight into my craft room. I live in a beautiful part of England, just outside of the 'World Heritage' city of Bath, with my OH, Alan and our German Shepherd, Finn. I have 2 wonderful grown-up sons, Nick and Adam, 1 gorgeous daughter-in-law Emma and two amazing grandchildren aged 2 and 6 weeks... The rest of my family still live 'Up North', and although I miss them, we see each other as often as possible. I still consider myself very, very lucky indeed.

Pinky from Pinky's World

I am a Mum of 4 and Grandmother of two lovely boys. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember but took to cardmaking when my youngest child was born (22 years ago) and have been at it ever since. I sell a lot of my cards and they are all commissions so make to suit the individual. I love the variety of stamps and digi stamps available to us now and use a variety of pens (promarkers, chameleon pens and copics) to colour them. I hope you enjoy looking at my card today, it was made for a young man to give to his girlfriend. They gave me a photo and wanted me to use images that looked like them lol. Think they were pleased with the outcome!

Teresa from The Fat Cactus

I have been crafting all my life and started card making over 10 years ago. I am lucky enough to work in a wonderful Craft Store where I get to enjoy my hobby as part of my job. I live in Staffordshire, England with my partner, my daughter and her partner, and our two cats. When I'm not crafting or blogging, I enjoy walking in the countryside and photography.

Ann from Ann's Cardmaking Garden

Hello everyone! 
My name is Ann Chuang and I live in Taiwan. I am a junior high school math teacher and a mom. I started crafting about 2012. At that time, I started making very simple cards that would take me hours to make, but the look of pure joy that people give you after receiving a handmade card is worth every second! I have always liked creating, inspiration comes from random places.  I love card making in different styles and have no set style. I love sharing my love of stamping/cardmaking/mixed media with everyone & I'm really looking forward to sharing my creations with all of you!
Thank you so much to the Crafting by Designs team for inviting me to be a Guest Designer with them. I am thrilled and honoured to be here with such a talented group of artists.

Please visit the Design Team and leave some love

for this talented group of ladies.

Do not forget to upload your project using the Inlinkz tool below.

This challenge will be open until May 25, 2015.

Remember to have fun!

I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

Hugs,

 

Julia and the CBD Design Team

I've been card making for a few years now, we've even extended the house to build me a craft room. I'm a lady of leisure so I have plenty of time to play.
