I began cardmaking<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;around twenty years ago as a way to relax, using</span></span><span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">&nbsp;a few Christmas rubber stamps and a couple of ink pads. I soon became hooked, my stash multiplied, and it has now taken over an entire room! These days, I also use dies, embossing folders, and pretty papers on my creations, but I'm still a stamper at heart. Although my job is fairly creative, I also enjoy baking and reading in my spare time, as well as sneaking into my craft room for a play!</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;
