I live in England in the picturesque county of South Yorkshire in the United Kingdom with my husband Ian and our best whippet friends Mr Bentley and our newest arrival, Nippa, who came to live with us in January 2023.

I’ve been blogging since 2006, but only started blogging about card making, art journaling, mixed media and associated paper crafts in 2012. I started adding art-related videos on my YouTube channel on the 1st of March 2015, which has continued to steadily grow each year since then.

I’ve been designing my own art, craft and card making products since 2008 with my hubby Ian. I also design art & craft products for other art & craft companies, some of which you may know…

I have guest presented my own products and designs on HOCHANDA TV, Create & Craft TV and also regularly presented an hour-long show on the British Craft Network Internet TV channel. I have taught mixed media, art journaling and card making classes all over the UK.

My main passion is in art journaling, mixed media and altered art. Most of which I hope to share with you through my blog, website and YouTube channel.

In 2016 I started to suffer from (age related) rheumatoid arthritis in my elbows, knee joints and more recently my finger joints, however, I’ll never let it stop or slow me down.

A wise person once said, “If you can find a job you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life!” I’m lucky to have found my happy place and hopefully you’ll accompany me on my creative journey.
