CATHY

A little about me.......My name is Cathy and I live 25 miles west of the City of Chicago, Illinois. I am 48 years old and have two adult children. My daughter Courtney is 22 and will be graduating from University of Illinois/Chicago this weekend and will continue her education this Fall at UIC where she will be working on her Masters Degree in Forensics. My son Corey is 19 and is attending a local community college until he can decide what it is he wants to do with the rest of his life. He is something of a "free-spirit". I started scrapping almost 5 years ago around Christmas when I received a sewing machine and a Rotary cutter from my DF (darling fiance') and my daughter. Little did I know at the time that they had taken bets that I would lose interest after 3 months! I'm still going strong and love every moment of it! I started making paperbag scrapbook albums, altered art, gift/hang tags and finally cards. Card making is my passion! I confess....I am an addict! Wild horses can't keep me away from the scrapbook stores! :)

I look forward to representing Craft Challenge and working with the other DT members. I feel that being part of this team will be a challenge and yet I hope that my work challenges those who participate.

Anesha

Anesha

Hello I am Anesha, with a wonderful husband and beautiful cat called Skipper. Been crafting most of my life but got into papercrafting in a serious way about 8 years ago. I am junkie when it comes to buying new craft products! My crafting projects include cards, mini-books, ATCs and altered art to name but a few. We have just moved to a beautiful house in the countryside which inspires me to be creative. Still working on my craft room and maybe sometime soon I might be able to walk around it without falling over things! Being creative is an integral part of my life. Having found the online crafting community has been a wonderful experience.

Introducing Julie

JULIE

Hi, I'm Julie, married to Dave and am a SAHM with 2 children, a daughter age 18, and a son age 7. I have been crafting for just over a year now, but am totally addicted, so much so, I'm having a crafting cabin/shed built in my garden in the summer. I enjoy all types of paper crafting, especially making cards. I love experimenting with different techniques. I've just got the Laurence Llewelyn Bowen collection by Trimcraft, and plan to be playing with that for a while (especially the fantastic templates).

One week and Counting, Here is Maxine.

MAXINE

I have been happily married for 20 years and have 2 teenage children. I started crafting at a very young age, Knitting sewing and making things. I got addicted to card making 18 months ago and I love it. I was very surprised and very happy to be voted Trimcraft card maker of the year 2008, in January. I started blogging last year and I have met so many nice people. I look forward to being part of the DT and visiting blogs to see your lovely work.
