Katherine
Some of the DT's comments: "beautifully details work", "clever use of images"
"a lovely blog to brows for inspiration"
Here is a little bit from Katherine about her crafting journey..................
"Hello. My name is Katherine. I live in the Philippines. I'm a single mother of two beautiful children, Kath 17 and Rein 11. My Mom lives with me. My favorite hobby is cross stitching in 1997 and became my business for over 9 years. I had a shop and sell cross stitch supplies. It was then closed in 2006 and shift and moved my business into a variety store located in front of our house.
Photography and making handmade cards became a hobby too (and a business also) and started blogging it in September 2009. I was first introduced in drawings and making digital images. Some of my blog friends using my digital images in their cards. I have a lot of drawings kept in my drawing book, hopefully they will be shared soon. Some of the images I drew are now in rubber stamps that I made them myself. I never thought I will be recognized with my creations and projects especially in making cards and this inspires me everyday. Thank you so much. And by the way I'm also a Bonsai Enthusiast."
And the second winner is.................
Paula
and this is what the DT said about her work.............. "beautiful bright and cheerful", "lovely overall design"
Paula has written this to introduce herself to us all.................
"Hello, I am Paula and first of all, I want to thank you Brenda and the Penny Black and More design team for this honour. I first got involved in stamping about two years ago, when I was searching about customize a box for my sister, in that moment I discovered a new world for me. Since then, I spend hours visiting blogs and watching online videos to learn new techniques.
When I have a few free time I take out my tools and stamps and I let my imagination run wild. I am a “stamp addict” and love all stamps. I don’t think I really have a particular style, perhaps I could describe most of my works as rather funny and coloring , but I always try to make something new and I love the shabby-chic style."
