her profile: I live in the UK Cambridgeshire Fens, a farming community and have a variety of large and small animals. I have been crafting in one form or another for many years, my love of Animals and Nature stems from my rural upbringing and provides the inspiration for much of my crafting. I’m a stamper at heart and my style leans towards inks, a bit of grunge and creating scenes, often with a touch of fantasy and invariably Flowers.
