I couldn't believe it when Lydia contacted me and asked me to become part of this prestigious group. I'm so thrilled to be a part of the Dirty Dozen and working with such amazingly talented ladies!
I live in Toronto, Canada. I started cardmaking in 2006, at a Stampin' Up! Party and have never looked back. Before that, I would not have claimed to be crafty or creative at all - I'm an accountant (a profession where creativity is frowned upon)!
I love clean, graphic design with bold colours and lots of white space. My favourite cards are the ones where stamps are used in unexpected ways to create something completely different.

Fancy new digs you've got here Girl! Congratulations. Hope travel among the stars won't make you a Snooty Elitist. :-) Actually the thing I love about the Stars, of which you are now a member, is that I can copy a card of theirs and be confident the Design Police won't blow the whistle on me. More than that however, I love the fact that I can gaze at their incredible art, for free, in my pajamas..........though I actually think they should be getting paid, every time someone looks at one of their cards.
Also what I love about the Dirty Girls is that when they speak in the Forums , I can trust what they say and "take it to the bank". If they like a product, I'm buying it, without hesitation. If they have a tip, I'm going to use it NOW! And if they favor a certain technique, I can't wait to try it.
I'm just so glad you've been recognized for the artist you are.
