Sally-Ann
My crafting life began at an early age and with good teachers too - my Mum and my Nan. Starting with knitting and sewing I then progressed into cross stitching. I caught the card making bug about 7 or 8 years ago when I received a card that my auntie had made and since then I've spent a total fortune on all of those essential items that us crafters must have and can't be trusted near craft shops at all ;-)
I love trying out new techniques and find inspiration from all sorts of places including my crafting buddies - I hope I can give you all some inspiration and ideas from my crafting projects.

Jean
I have been interested in crafts all my life and trained as a primary school teacher with my special subject needlecraft. I took up beading about 10 years ago after my best friend got me interested. I am a member of the Bead Workers Guild and the Bead Society and belong to the Ermine Street Beaders in Peterborough.

Kay

I started card making and scrapbooking about six years ago, and have won a few competitions and also had a number of my cards printed in card making magazines. I began holding workshops from 2008 for WI groups as well as private parties. I enjoy encouraging new and beginner crafters to develop card making/scrapbooking skills.

Sarah loves to craft and is keen on cross stitch and is a keen user of the Cricut and Cuttlebug Machines. She is enthusiastic about her crafts and draws inspiration for many areas. Sarah worked for years in the haberdashery dept of John Lewis and has a knack of creating beatiful cards.
