CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS

Morning Crafters,

Hope you are all well and groovy today! Today, we have lots of fun things to share with you, including the introduction of our next new member of the Creative Expressions Design Team (Tina Eldridge), and this week's project from the highly talented John Lockwood! Also, Sue Wilson is live on Create & Craft tomorrow for a special One Day Wonder and will be joined by John Lockwood, as he makes his debut appearance live on the show - good luck John!!

Introducing Tina Eldridge

Tina is the last of our 'newbies' to join the team, and we hope that you will join us in giving her a warm welcome!

Tina lives in Salisbury with her husband Paul, and is a crafting enthusiast!

Click here to find out more about Tina and see some of the projects she has created.

Introduce yourself briefly... My name is Tina Eldridge, I have been married to Paul for 35 years and we have two grown up children that I would walk over hot coals for. I am extremely proud of both their achievements so far in life.

How did you get into crafting? I came across Create and Craft on TV by accident       a couple of years ago and by chance Sue Wilson was demonstrating at the time. I was immediately hooked.

How would you describe your style? My style is very feminine, I love sparkles, flowers, bow and most of all butterflies. I don't understand “less is more”  I like “more is more”.

Where do you draw inspiration from? I get inspiration from my garden, particularly in the summer from the abundance of pots and tubs I plant. I love the numerous butterflys that land on the Budliah bushes.

What’s your favourite crafting tool at the moment? Without a doubt, my Ebosser..

If you were a toothbrush, what colour would you be? As long as I had sparkles, flowers, bows and butterflys on it wouldn't matter what colour I was.

Tell us a random fact about yourself... I won the “Miss She” pageant and appeared on the front cover of the magazine but this was many moons ago. That was when everything was where it was supposed to be before everything went south and pre bags and wrinkles.

If your house was on fire, what's the first thing you would save from your craft room? It would have to be my dies as I have built quite a collection. I could always loan a friend's Ebosser but couldn't make my style of cards without my dies.

What is the first thing you grab from your kitchen to take crafting with you to eat/drink? It would be a cold bottle of fizzy water straight from the fridge.

All The Flowers by John Lockwood

Today we have another beautiful make from the talented John Lockwood!

For this make, John has used the Curled Frame Pre-Cut Stamp from Creative Expressions for the sentiment and the beautiful swirly frame. The butterfly embellishments have been created using the Magical Butterflies Die from Sue Wilson's range of Craft Dies.

Head over to John's blog to find out more!
