Tinkability Crafts
Jo Hood

Hi well what can i say, i love crafting but when it comes to telling you about me i get stuck,lol.

So here goes!!!

I'm Jo, i am married to my lovely hubby Gaz, he is my world, my rock. We have a wee boy Hayden who is 2 and a half, terrible 2's have defo kicked in.

I am a stay at home mum, i run my own small businesses from home too.

1 : I make handmade cards and gifts

2: I'm a partylite consultant, again!!! lol

I have been crafting since a young age, loved to draw when i was a kid and came away from high school with higher art. I then started working and crafting/drawing got put to the side.

Life took over!!

But i started back making cards a few years back one Christmas and it took off from there. I decided to quit my job as a sales assistant once my maternity leave ended and haven't looked back. I don't think i have a favorite style or technique as i like to try new things all the time.

I have been a member of the design team for Stamping Dragon for just over a year and if Janette hadn't put her trust in me, i don't think i would be were i am today with my crafting.

So a big thank you to Janette and the rest of the Dt's for their support.

For the future i just want to keep crafting and learning new things, nothing too big for me at the mo.

Here are a few of my favorite samples. x

Meet the Team - Sue

Hi I'm Sue and I'm married to my best friend, I have two children and two beautiful grandsons, oh and 'his lordship' who is Ollie our cocker spaniel.

I have basically retired from being a Civil Servant as I'm my husbands full-time carer and my crafting is my 'stress' relief. I began when I was little as most of us do, my grandma taught me how to bake and embroider, my mam taught me how to knit and crochet and I loved art at school and went on to do 'A' level Art. 

 

When I was asked to be part of the Stamping Dragon design team I was over the moon, everyone made me feel really welcome and I love the digi stamps because I love to colour and there is so much to choose from. 

 

We have great fun as a team and we all bring something individual to it. The card I have made has the lovely Rupert on he's such a cute dragon and I've used it as a 'New Home' card, why not pop into our store and have a look you won't be disappointed! 

 

 

 

Anyway enough waffling from me, hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and an even better New Year. 

 

Sue

Meet the Team - Fran Hancock

Hi, I'm Fran and I'm 39 with a lovely hubby and two lovely children aged 12 and 10. I've been making cards for 8 or more years now, it all started one Christmas when I decide to make our own. It's all snowballed from there, and now I am a design team member a couple of challenge blogs including one I run with a friend. I am also a DT memeber for the Stamping Dragon Designs Facebook Group , and I also make samples for this blog, The Dragon's Den. 

 I love crafting as it's so relaxing, our 12 year old has severe autism, so life can be very stressful in our house, so crafting helps. The card I have made to show you today is using one of the images I bought from the store Yoohoo's Pumpkin, I love this image , Yoohoo is very cute.

You can come and Join fran and the rest of the Facebook team in our Group

Meet the Design Team - Janette Padley

We will be having a monthly meet the Design Team spot, and this month to set things rolling you get ME :D

Designer & Design Team Member - Janette Padley

So what can i tell you about little old me, I am a divorced mum to two Adam who is 21 and Aimee who is 16 and just started college, we also have a puddy tat called Holly, I started playing around with graphics after my Divorce which will be 14 years ago ( wow where do the years go ) i bought a copy of Paint Shop Pro and started making signature tags in the AOL community, this soon changed to digital scrapbook layouts, and designing my own kits.

I sold Scrapbook papers and kits, for many years until i discovered Digital Stamps in 2009, and the rest as they say is history as Rupert, Penny & Jiggy were born.

Design wise what do i like, I think it has to be Vintage and i lean towards Journals and Scrap booking, although i do of course make cards too, Here are a couple of my favorite creations from recently.

My first 12  x 12 scrapbook paper layout, using the Beauty Element Pack

And this little Gift Card holder I made using my Spook Night Page Kit, Spooks Stamps and Halloween Word Art - Which you can actually buy in a bundle at the min at a Saving ;)
