Stamping With The Dragon DT call post

Hi everyone My name is Tina im a 43 year old mom & nanna.

I have been papercrafting for around 3 years and love ALL crafts and enjoy experimenting and learning new techniques all the time (especially the getting messy part ). I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of people through crafting who i know will remain friends for a very long time . I first got into crafting whilst caring for my disabled father and I can not imagine my life without it or my crafty friends now! I would love to be part of the Stamping With The Dragon design team as the images and papers are amazing & good to work with and of course theres the added bonus of being able to work alongside some amazing crafters as well and I feel that being part of the team will enable me to progress, learn and be inspired to create! 

So here I have to share with you some of my creations and I hope that you like them !

 

Jiggy's Leaves

 

Altered Chest

 

 My first ever Scrap Page

 

Vintage Inspired Card ( Made for Tsunami Rose )

 

A little bit of Magnolia

 

And there you have it ,Ive tried to show you a little bit of everything ranging over the last few months . I think i can see a bit of improvement in how i take the pictures lol.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking and thank you for taking the time to look at them all.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !

Hugs & Love

Tina
