Di's Digi Downloads

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter acardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughterpreferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and thisthen became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, Ilove thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them andmake them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Offering a $10 Gift Certificate to Di's Digi store!

My other hobbies are home and office decorations with flowers and candles, but scrapbooking and cardmaking is my truly passion.

I am "retired" for now after working for over 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry.  I've been a crafter all my life, but I was introduced to card making and paper crafting about 6 years ago and the rest is history!  I am totally hooked!  I am a confessed patterned paper addict and I also love to color with my Copics.

The Stamping Chef 

The Stamping Chef was born in November 2012, after I (Tamara) decided to switch from the scrapbook community to the crafter's side of designing. Drawing is my passion, and my style is fun, cute and doodlish..I think =D.  I love to see images come to life when they're colored by amazing crafters. Creating digital images can be a tedious process, but I love each and every step of it. I have a lovely bunch of ladies standing next to me, creating, giving me advice, and help me every where they can. I'm so totally new in this great adventure, but I love it! It's so totally different than I'm used to. I hope I can provide you with loads of cute, happy, funny images you can work with. Come over and join our Facebook Fan Page - lots of  fun things happening, weekly challenges with special images, chat with me (Tamara) and the design team.  Be a follower of  The Stamping Chef blog to stay up to date on all the going on's in the kitchen

Sandra Van Mourik

My name is Sandra Janssen, 26 years old and married to the love of my life. I am from The Netherlands.I have been crafting as long as I can remember. As a child I started crafting with my grandmother, we made 3-D-paper pieced cards. She also tried to teach me how to crochet and knitting, but since I am left handed and she is right handed, it didn't quite work out. About 8 years ago, I found out about scrapbooking and did that for a very long time, but it bothered me that I just couldn't finish a lay-out in 1 evening. I usually took me about 2 or 3, and I began searching for things I could just do in 1 evening. On the internet I saw people creating the most beautiful cards, with the same materials I used for scrapbooking. A new addiction was born, I managed to make 2 cards on one evening! I have been coloring with Copics for about 2 years now, and I totally love it. For me, it doesn't matter whether they are rubber stamps,clear stamps or dig stamps, I love them all!

Sandra created this Gorgeous Tag Card using

 Eureka Stamps digi 26404 Flower Girl 

Be sure to stop over to Sandra's  blog and leave her some love !!
