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."
