I am thrilled to be a runner-up in the Cardmaker of

the Year competition. I began card making over 10 years

ago and over this time, my cra stash

and passion for papercraing has

grown and grown. Craing is a

fantastic hobby and I would

recommend that anyone give it a

try – just think outside the box!

I tried out some new techniques with the

designs I created for the competition, and I

think they are the best cards I have

ade so far this year. As I was making

hem I felt my card making skills had

eally improved! I’m so thankful this

ompetition gave me and others the

opportunity to get craing.

I’ve never entered anything like this before

sotohavebeen placed as a runner-up is

abulous. It’s a great

experience to enter

a competition like this, so

ngers crossed for next year!Thanksfor

choosing my designs, I can’twaittoget

craing with the prizes.

It was such a lovely surprise to hear that I was a

nner-up. Winning makes me feel less uilt out

l the stash I have accumulated! I

et a great deal of enjoyment out of

making cards, which are oen for

arity, and it’s nice to know they are

ppreciated – like most card makers,

I am my own worst critic.
