| Introduction | I've been a crafter for as long as I can remember, My first memories of crafting are from when I was 7 years old and making dolls clothes from a red flannel shirt I found on the rec. As a child I always watched Blue Peter for the crafting section. I remember the presenter making dolls house furniture out of match boxes, paper fasteners and sticky back plastic. I so wanted to make those projects but was always told we don't have the materials. Once I started earning my own money my crafting passion grew. I started with sewing and painting and went on photography. I also tried many other crafts along the way, jewellery making, costume making and felting to name but a few. 20 years ago I was introduced to stamping. I was never any good at stamping so my stamp collection was packed away for years. until I found stampin' up. I learnt so much about inks and papers and I found out why my previous attempts at stamping were unsuccessful. These days I have made up for my lack of materials as a child. I love to share my crafting experiences with others. |
