profile = Hi everyone, my name is Denise and I live in a small town in South Wales, UK.  I have been paper crafting for as long as I can remember and started my blog in 2008.  I was lucky enough to take early retirement a few years ago so enjoy crafting even more now that I have more free time. Crafting keeps me sane and I love make cards, tags and ATC's; well basically anything involving paper!  I love mystery films and books and my goal is to read more in 2026. Thank you so much for having me as your guest in February.

bio =  I have always enjoyed crafting, but I started paper crafting 20 years ago when my sister asked me to create scrapbook pages for my parents anniversary gift. I fell in love!  I started making cards a few years later, and never looked back.  I love trying new techniques, but my most favorites are dies and embossing.  

This is her A for anniversary theme card project:

Debbie : Thanks for creating a heartfelt anniversary card!
