and have been lucky to have met some of them too.I love all styles of cardmaking so dont think I have a particular style myself.

Annette using flowering tree

My name's Annette, although my friends call me Netty.  I'm 36 (or 28
with 8 years of experience as I prefer to believe) and live in Devon, UK
with my hubby, Paul, plus 2 cats and 2 chickens!  I've always been a
crafter; never happier than when I'm covered in glitter and sticky
stuff.  I started card-making in 2004 and quickly found that stamping
was my favourite technique.  However, since finding digi stamps about 6
months ago, I've become a real digi convert.   My favourite colouring
tools are my Promarkers, Twinkling H2O watercolour paints, my recently
re-discovered 20 year old watercolour pencils (they're still going
strong!!!) and my lovely shimmer chalks.  I love working with sketches,
flowers, ribbons, pearls and anything cute, pink and sparkly.

Loretta Lock using Sea turtles

I am Loretta Lock.  I have a family that I adore and I love being wife to my husband for the last 20 years and mom to 4 of the coolest kids I know;  Morgan (16), Hannah (14), Marcus (12) and Rachel (10).  As a family we foster rescue dogs and it is a real passion for us.  We have our own 2 dogs, and they help out too when we have orphan litters by teaching dog manners to the foster pups.  We are very involved in ministry in our church as a family and love serving our Christ family.   I have been crafting for forever, give or take a few years.  My passion for paper crafting began almost 10 years when a friend asked me to make Christmas cards with her for the teachers in our school.  That was so much fun that I continued on learning tricks and techniques in papercrafting.  I am honoured to be a guest designer for Gingerloft digital stamps.
