Lisette Baker

Hi' I'm Lisette and I live in Sheffield, England. I am thrilled and honoured to have another opportunity to have a guest designer spot over at City Crafter Challenge Blog. CCCB was one of the very first blog challenges I discovered, with one of the friendliest teams and followers in blogland. I've been blogging for just over a year and have loved every minute. My ambition is to work full-time in the crafting world in some way. In my day job I work for a charity that trains people to set up healthy cooking clubs and to get people cooking good food from scratch. I was previously a primary school teacher and also had a long spell working for the BBC. I've been married for over thirty years and have two grown-up (well sometimes!) sons. All three men in my house are very good at putting up with my crafting mess! I'm excited that we are entering my favorite time of the year with all the fun and festivals that go with it.

We love having you here Lisette.

Do stop by Lisette's blog to say Hi.

Lisa

What a pleasure it is to be guest designing here this week, thanks so much Kirsty!! My discovery of the City Crafter challenge blog came through my good blogging friend Sue Leli. I'm a former floral designer/instructor, current stay at home wife and paper crafter! My husband and I are high school sweethearts who are blessed with one very special son and beautiful daughter-in-law. In my free time I enjoy long walks with my ridiculously adorable mini-schnauzer Max and adventurous photo taking journeys with my husband. I’m hopelessly addicted to polka dots, what not and all things related to card making! 

What a STUNNING project there, do stop by Lisa's blog to see more of her beautiful work!

Gail 

Hi, My name is Gail and I’m honored to be the Guest Designer this month at this fabulous City Crafter Challenge Blog. The photo for this challenge inspired me to make this shabby chic card.  My “gift” with my card is a matching bookmark. When I looked at the photo, the old scissors, spool of jute and large spools of woven ribbon reminded me of days long gone.

I’m a legal secretary by day and a card maker by night. I live in Arizona, USA and I also do stained glass as well as scrapbooking and card making. I have a wonderful husband who has built shelves and tables for my craft supplies and has made my stamp room a wonderful “girl’s cave”.  My 2 beagles and 3 cats are my craft room companions and have been used as models for the coloring of cats and dogs images. 

I’ve loved blogging and posting my cards and have met so many wonderful and talented people through the computer! Thank you, Kirsty, and the gals on the City Crafter team for giving me a chance to be your Guest Designer!

Just look at the beautiful card with the tag, what a sweet pair, hop right over to Gail's blog and check out more of her beautiful work.
