I've been a crafter all my life, but I was introduced to card making and paper crafting about 8 years ago and I am totally hooked!

The Greeting Farm, Penny Black, Spellbinders and many more! All of the brands and products we carry are items I have personally used for my own projects, and I feel are awesome products that you would like as well.

Claire
Hi, I'm Claire and I'm really honored to be joining this lovely talented team as Guest Designer. I live in the UK and I've been crafting for years. I've tried lots of different crafts over the years but since I discovered rubber stamping about 8 years ago I've been addicted. I love to try new techniques and mess around with ink and paint but I also love to colour. When I'm not crafting I work for a mental health charity and my job can be really stressful so I love to escape to my craft room after a hectic day at work.

Claire's beautiful card using ADFD Wind in my Hair
The stitching in my project is the tulle that I
stitched into a frill.

Anna

My name is Anna, I am from Poland.
I am a primary school teacher, a ballroom dance teacher and a fitness instructor. I run a small Dance & Fitness Studio in a town I live with my fiance.
I started my card making in February 2012 and I still feel like a beginner. This is my way to keep myself calm and stay still sitting. While my hands are busy, my mind is open to any thought, so I can re-think everything that should be re-thinked.
I love visiting other crafter's blogs, there is lots of inspiration there and lots of things to learn. I have no scraproom, I just make a big mess in the dinning room and my craft stash is in every corner.
I would like to thank Love To Create DT for inviting me, this is an honour!
