We have exciting news this week.  We have a new member of our Design Team over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
I would like to introduce

Holly Gwilliams

We are excited to have Holly join our team.

Here is a little about Holly

Hello, my name is Holly and I live in Yorkshire, UK, where it generally rains and does not much else, but that gives me plenty of time to sit indoors and craft. I have been making cards for about a year now. It started as something to keep me occupied while the hubby (or fiance as he was at the time) watched football (soccer to anyone in the US) and it became a bit of an obsession, so much so that my spare room is now my craft room and I no longer have to sit at the kitchen table.

My other hobbies include sewing (I run a little business making bags and make my own dresses when I can), tap dancing, following MotoGP and reading. I also hope to start studying for my history degree later this year, as well as doing some creative craft courses at my local college, but first I need to go on my honeymoon as I got married over Christmas.

I sometimes wonder how I find time to do all this, and see my friends, as by day I am a legal secretary too.

Crafting has become my passion and I am so excited to be a DT member for SSW.

  1. What a gorgeous card Nancy, especially with the wonderful paper piecing and the texture on the embossed panel. I love that dear image - will have to remember that for next time. I remember that adorable card you did the first time with the sketch because I loved that tulip paper you used. It's so fun to go back and see what we did the first time with these sketches isn't it? Have a fantastic week.
    Hugs,
    Sharon
