a previous month's GDT pick = Jane D

blog: https://janedscreativechaos.blogspot.com/

profile: "Hi, I am Jane aka Jane D on social media. I live in the south of Sweden with my husband and our two little budgies, Rio and Rafiki (who inspired my card). Card making came into my life in 2018 when I found a craft challenge online when I was browsing the internet. As I had dabbled a little in scrapbooking I had a small stash of pretty papers, some ink pads and a few stamps so I gave it a go, and since then I am hooked. Nowadays I create all sorts of projects and love trying out different styles and techniques. I mostly craft during winter as I spend as much time as possible on our sailboat “Lykke” the rest of the year. Sailing is my, and my husband’s, passion and you can find us on IG @sailing_lykke where we share some of our adventures. I also love to read, crossword puzzles, music, photography and spending time with our four children and their families. One thing we all have in common is our love of animals, and a variety of critters have shared our home and been part of the family over the years; it’s been dogs, birds, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and a frog. I even think my first stamp set was a critter one. I am a proud member of two design teams, and I hope my projects spread a little inspiration to other crafters."

Guest DT: Chris

blog: https://andheresoneimadeearlier.blogspot.com/

her info to share: Hi. I’m Chris, I live in Kent, in the South East of England with my husband of over 50 years and our dog Marvin, a Fox Red Labrador, a real life Crazy Critter!  I have a son and a daughter, both happily married, and am a very proud grandmother to 4 beautiful girls. I’d like to say I’m a health conscious, keep fit enthusiast but it would be a terrible fib, in reality, I’m a coffee guzzling bookaholic who enjoys crafting – especially stamping and colouring- and spends too much time doing it.

her info to share: Hi everyone, I'm Tee and I live in Northern Ky. I am a retired mom to one adult son & multiple feline babies. I mostly make cards now, but I love all types of paper-crafting. I enjoy stamping & digital images and markers are my medium of choice. I find coloring to be relaxing. I'm always trying out new things & ideas. Sometimes they work, other times not. My motto is to stay creative and do what makes you happy. And if you can inspire others along the way that's a good thing!
