I love papercraft.  Most specifically, card making.  I've been doing this since I was a teenager, which means for a preferably undisclosed but really rather high number of years.  I'm not terribly prolific these days, as I have a young family - my very youngest takes exceptional offense every time I try to sit down at my crafting table and my dearest other half isn't what you might call supportive.  He regularly comments that what I like to do (he calls it colouring between the lines!) is what he grew out of when he was 8, but I'm comfortable with his derision, and in fact, deal it back in spades thanks to his own little "childish" obsession of comic collection. 

But the passion remains, and slowly, new creations take shape.

Stylistically, I tend to make more simple cards, but that's partly a time thing.  I do like nice, clean cards, but then I also love wonderfully fussy and highly embellished cards too - I am happily a creature of two halves!

There are so many wonderfully clever and creative crafters out there, and I am often awed at the talent and creativity that I see, I don't pretend to come anywhere near that, and I am happy to admit that I take inspiration from many sources for the bits that I create.  With any luck, I will become even more inspired and eclectic as I move forward!

Happy crafting!
