Deborah
Deborah will be joining us from the 6th of February.
Here is what she has to say about herself:
Hello My name is Deborah, and I'm thrilled to join the team. This is my first design team I have joined although I am to start another shortly. I started my crafting journey around March last year. Although I would draw and paint as a child. I enjoy all forms of art and crafting including art journalling, card making altered art and painting on canvas. I also love to play with all mediums. I think my style is electric at present as my journey takes me to all forms of art, and just when I think I've discovered all there, is I find something else.
Marlene
Marlene will be joining us soon.
Here is what she has to say about herself:
My name is Marlene I live in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, I am originally from Newcastle upon Tyne, we came up here 25 years ago, we love it here, a great place to bring Children up. I love making cards and my Grandson who is 12 did think about applying for the junior DT, but wasn't sure if he could commit himself to making cards for the Challenges, maybe next time, when he is here with us, we work together, he makes his own with no help from me. I started making cards in 2011, and since then I have become addicted to them.
Yesterday (26.12) it was my Birthday, so I had a lovely relaxing day and I got some Crafting goodies, so can't wait to use them. I am really looking forward to working with you all.
Hug, Marlene
Linda
Linda will be joining us from the 9th of January.
Here is what she has to say about herself:
I have been a card maker for many years (approx 13 yrs ). I am lucky to sell my cards in a local shop and also run a card making group once a week, where 15 plus ladies attend. I am a DT member on the glitter n sparkle challenge.
I am also a carer for my mum x
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and looking forward to the new year celebrations

Here is what she has to say about herself:
I’d love to give you a quick introduction of myself...
My name is Silvi, I am 42 years old and live in Germany (Bavaria).
The name of my blog „Basslady Creations“ is a mixture of my two beloved hobbies: creating and bass-playing...
My creative „first love“ is the napkin-technique, which I very often use
for canvas, tea-lights, plates, bottles and many things more...
I have been a stamper since about 5 years....
My card-style is more clean and simple, than full of embellishments...
I love to be focused on a few things...maybe that is typically bass-player-like...
who needs six strings, if you can create a cool sound with four strings...? *LOL*

As well as Little Claire, I'm also lucky enough to design for Pink Gem, Nutcrafters, Crafts-Too and Card Creations Plus and I'm part of the team for several challenge blogs.
