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.

Guest DT: Tee

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!

#111 GDT project: monkeys

Thank you so much DTs and GDTs!!!

Guest DT: Jocelyn

her info to share:

Hi everyone, my name is Jocelyn aka JoBear2 and I live on the edge of rural Victoria, Australia so are surrounded by gum trees, kangaroos and abundant wildlife. My husband & I retired in January & have a grown-up daughter.  We have an 8 yo Groodle dog which we rescued from the pound last December plus a 2 yo rescue cat.  I started cardmaking in the early 2000s & began my blog – Instead of Ironing Blogspot – in 2010.  My husband chose that name because I was so busy crafting that I had no time for ironing so he started ironing his own work shirts.  I love using critters on my cards & have a passion for creating paper tole cards.  I also love to make Christmas cards.  My favourite mediums are watercolour makers/pencils & Distress inks.  My other hobbies are knitting, gardening, researching my family tree & photographing the wildlife & flowers in my garden.
