About Me

This is me!

I am happily married, with two children, a dog, a house rabbit, three guinea pigs, two hamsters, three gerbils, and we all live in a rural village in the north of England, UK. I am a school teacher specialising in music and currently teach children aged 10 and 11. I am also a crafts tutor and love to share my passion for all things arty with others.  I contribute regularly to Craft Stamper magazine (UK), and I'm proud to be on the design team for Dylusions for Ranger, and Stampotique Originals. I have had my art published in several publications including Somerset Art Journaling, Stampers Sampler, Artful Blogging, Somerset Studio and Somerset Apprentice. In 2012 I spent three glorious days at Ranger Ink, USA, to become a Certified Ranger Educator woohoo!!


I have made four instructional DVDs for Traplet which are available NOW about my favourite subject, art journaling! Click *here* for details.





I am also a musician and play in a ceilidh band (Yes! Really!)

I am the QUEEN of MESSING ABOUT! I love nothing more than playing with paper, acrylic paint, old texts, rubber stamps etc etc etc! 

I also love wine and chocolate, and plenty of it.


My humble studio (it's not usually this tidy!)
