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!

#111 GDT project: monkeys

Guest DT: Jocelyn 

blog: http://instead-of-ironing.blogspot.com/

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.

profile:

Hello, my name is Tamie Camp. I simply adore my husband, 3 children, and 4 incredibly precious grandchildren. Our 2 cats and dog, add even more light to our lives. My talented mom introduced me to crafting at a very young age. It became our shared passion and we loved making homemade cards. One Stampin’ Up party was a game changer for us about 27 years ago, the amount of cards we made exploded. I love stamping, using digital images, coloring, papers, dies/embossing folders and other crafting tools. When you can’t be with friends, cyber crafting is another way we spend time together and get our craft on!  Besides card making, my other hobbies are crocheting, cross stitching and reading. Beach days, mountains and nature bring a balance to my soul. Thank you for having me as a Guest Designer.
