Get to know Linda....

I'm a recently retired graphic designer. I've worked in the craft and hobby industry for my entire life, growing up in a family owned business. I did scrapbooking for several years, but I wanted to be able to make something that might be a blessing to others. When I began making cards, I saw that it was a way of fulfilling that goal.

Get to know Marion....

Hi, my name is Majo (a shortcut for Marion). Around the net I am known as 'Tante Kathe'. I am tickled to be guest designer for the third time at City Crafter Challenge Blog. Thank you Kirsty for having me! It is always a pleasure!

My husband and I live near Frankfurt, Germany with our two mischievous cats, pretty much known around the crop community, as "Emma" and "Cookie" are my favorite objects on my projects.

I started paper crafting three years ago. It is the perfect way to play with all the ideas that keep running through my mind. Last year I started blogging, I wanted to participate in challenges, and since then I have met a bunch of wonderful crafters, made many friends and have fun every single day. You are welcome to visit my blog: http://majos-art.blogspot.com

Get to know Julia......

Hi, My name is Julia, and I live in Inverness, Scotland. I am in my early 30's and work from home. Every spare moment I have I like to craft. Sewing was where I began and I then went onto papercrafting, initially in order to save myself some money, papercrafting has well and truly taken over as a total obsession, I wouldn't say I have a style, I honestly love it all cute, elegant, grunge. I love fussy and fancy and C&S. Just whatever I am in the mood for at the time. I have recently started art journaling and think that will very quickly become my latest obsession!!... I want to thank the girls at City Crafter for asking me to be here, it is a real honour!!

Get to know Sandi....

Hi! My name is Sandi. I am just so excited to be a guest designer for City Crafter Challenge Blog. What a honor! Thank you Kirsty!

I live in Massachusetts with my hubby, who is incredibly supportive of my scrapping obsession! We have three children and a dog and a cat, all of which I love to scrap.

I started scrapping about seven years ago, and have been addicted ever since! My scrapping style is colorful, artsy, simple, sometimes a deliberate messy, but over-all clean with crisp lines!
