New DT Member Karen

Please stroll down or click HERE for our current challenge # 26 Anything But A Card

Well this is what you have all been waiting for.  Let’s see who is joining the other DT sisters at VSC.

We are so pleased and happy to announce that Karen from Dreaming And Creating has agreed to join our happy little band as one of our newest DT members.

Here is a short bio to introduce her:

Hi, Karen McAlpine here, to tell you a little bit about myself.

Such a long crafty history, I have been crafting since the age of four.  Over the years many crafts have given me lots of enjoyment including: decoupage, embroidery, sewing, quilting and crocheting.  Another passion of mine is gardening, especially my herbs and flowers.

Over the last 15 years cards have been my thing.  In the beginning my cards were computer generated with a software package but approximately 9 years ago my thing became handmade cards.  Currently, card making and paper crafts are my favourites.

Definitely love the creative scope that comes from stamping and feel that each stamp is a little work of art in its own right.  Of course I like to put my own signature style on each project. My makes will almost always include lots of layers, a mix of pattern plus texture and fibers of some kind.  Creating my own backgrounds with paint, ink, a Gelli Plate or stencils has become one of my favorite techniques.

Wow such a pedigree and her work is amazing.  Today we are showcasing this beautiful inspirational tag as her debut piece for the current challenge.

I am sure you all want to congratulate Karen yourselves so it would be fabulous if you hopped on over to Karen’s blog, left her some love and also saw all her other beautiful makes.

We will be showcasing another new DT member next Monday so make a date in your diaries to pop back and see who that might be!!!
