Teresa

Hi I'm Teresa & I'm from Dublin, Ireland but I am now living in the beautiful countryside of County Wicklow. I am 40yrs old & a stay at home mum of one, my gorgeous 4yr old little man. I have crafted in one shape or form all my life & have always loved to draw & paint. I used to do custom wall murals, back when I had the time. I started paper crafting when I wanted to make my own wedding invitations & it took off from there. Now my biggest passions are card making. followed in a close 2nd by altered canvases etc. I love how there is always something new to learn & try.

I love being apart of Design Teams, it's all quite new to me but I am finding it really helps me up my game. I am very excited to be apart of the Creative Fingers design team, it's fab to be involved with such talented crafters.
I am thrilled to be a part of Creative Fingers DT team with such a fab bunch of talented girls

I look forward to seeing everyone's work.

We have two new member of the Design Team this week Margaret and Denise,

welcome to the team!

Margaret

I live in Sydney, Australia with my husband Tony, we will have been married for 44 years in November. I have 2 daughters and 4 grand daughters. 18, 17, 14 and 4. I started stamping and making cards in 1995 and scrapbooking about 14 years ago. My grand daughters have all stamped and scrapbooked with me. I have worked since 1960 when I was 15 up until the end of January this year when my position was made redundant. At 68 I am now retired and glad I don't have to push myself to work each day as I have severe arthritis and fybromyalgia. I am a cancer survivor.

I am enjoying my days at home making cards and joining in challenges. Now that Tony and I are alone here I finally have my own craft room. My husband at 66 is still working, he doesn't want to retire yet, he enjoys the company of the men at work. On the weekends he is making me some more shelves so I can get my craft stuff organised. I am still a cute stamper and I now use a lot of digital stamps as they are easier for my hands. All my cards are sent out to brighten someone's day on their birthday, or thank you or just thinking of you, etc. I am so happy to be invited to join the Creative Fingers design team.

Our new member of the Design Team this week is Tania, welcome to the team!

Hi my Name Is Tania (although I usually sign my name on challenges as Taniaj ) ; I am 48 (just, August 1st) and live on the Isle of Man (The home of TT motor bike racing) somewhere in the middle of the Irish Sea, with my husband and 2 sons. I have been crafting since 2004 when I need something to keep me awake, I suffer from SAD in the winter months and this is what I decided to do. I have dabbled in card making, Scrapbooking ATC’s a bit of altered art . My favourite being card making each card is a piece of art work and a bit of me. My husband says I don’t need a craft room because we live in a craft house!!!! I have recently found digital images which are super with my love for Pro Markers and a lot easier to store I can have thousands of digi images on a memory stick and nobody is any wiser LOL

When I'm not crafting, the day job is a teaching assistant and tutor at a local secondary school which I love, although it can be challenging and requires a lot of patience and empathy, so my down time is crafting and I find it so rewarding. I am looking forward to being part of the New Creative Fingers team and working with some talented crafters on some wonderful challenges hugs txx

Our new member of the Design Team this week is Elizabeth, welcome to the team!

I have been stamping and making cards for over 12 years and love everything about it. I teach AP US Government to high school students during the day and then can't wait to get home to see what I can create. I live in Maryland and have a daughter in college in South Carolina and a husband who never bats an eye at whatever I am spending on craft supplies. I also have a darling little bichon but have to keep all my supplies off the ground or they disappear into her crate.
