Mary
My name is Mary (crafty) and I live in Surrey. I have 2 step daughters who have given us 8 grand children between them, a son at university and a daughter in her last year of school. 
I have crafted for as long as I can remember, beginning with needlecraft, knitting and dressmaking. At university, many decades ago, I took up crochet work and rug making. Having retired as a mathematics teacher 3 years ago I began to paint (using mainly water colour pencils) and make cards for the family and later for neighbors. 
I started a blog (Draper's Creations) http://draper50.blogspot.co.uk last May and have been entering challenges ever since.

Our Fabulous Sponsor for this weeks
 Say it with Flowers Challenge is

Sassy Studio Designs
Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born!  It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

This week's PRIZE is ...
Four (4) Digital Stamps of WINNER's Choice!

Kathy
Hello! My name is Kathy Jo and I am honored to be a Guest Designer for the Love to Create Challenge Blog! Originally from the U.S., I currently reside in beautiful Nova Scotia with my husband, my Saint Bernard (Ella) and my two fur ball kitties (Ginger and Pepper).
My blogspot, I’m A Little Teapot, is my virtual happy place to share some paper projects. Paper crafting is my hobby and I enjoy spending hours in my craft room playing with dies, inks, stamps, ribbon and paper. More often than not, I leave my craft room at night with die cuts everywhere, ink all over my hands and a smile on my face…what a relaxing and fun hobby!
I also enjoy watching comic book based movies so when I saw the Super Mom image from Sassy Studio Designs, I knew that I had to use it for the guest design card. She is one tough and sassy lady! Thank you Sassy Studio for the image and for sponsoring the challenge! Thanks again to Love to Create Challenge Blog!

Teresa
Hi, my name is Teresa, I am a single parent to Tyler who is 17 and I live in Sittingbourne, Kent in the United Kingdom.  I currently run a fresh food counter in my local supermarket, but in my spare time I love to make cards.

I have been crafting on and off for many years, starting with knitting and cross stitch.  After a back operation last year, I found myself with lots of spare time and decided to set up a blog to start showing my cards and I haven't looked back since.

My passion is ProMarkers and digi stamps, finding that I can spend hours just colouring.

Artbymiran
I am the artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories.

I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork.
I am excited to share my art with this wonderful community of digi stampers and crafters.
I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art.
I would love to invite you to become a follower of my blog, I plan for many fabulous things to share with everyone artbymiran.blogspot.com.
