I'm Clair... I'm 35 years young & live in the wonderful city of Brighton in the UK.
I'm married to my childhood sweetheart & very best friend Alan, I'm a stay at home mummy to our girls Sharni age 17 & Sofie age 8.

I have always been very creative & enjoyed making things -It's something that has been passed down through the generations...my great grandma & my mum are still passionate about crafting, throughout the years, between us we've tried all sorts Sewing, Knitting, Jewellery making, Cross stitch, Embroidery, etc etc etc....

About 7 years ago I discovered scrapbooking, which I love, It's so nice to be able to take a simple photo & turn it into something special , make it tell a story & become something hopefully my children will treasure forever... Scrapbooking then led onto Card making & Stamping...all the wonderful stamps, papers, ribbons, flowers, bling!! I soon became a collector!!! Who can resist buying the latest, most stylish stash??!!
Gradually my hobby has become something more - In October 2008 I became a Stampin Up! Demonstrator - This means I not only get to use all their gorgeous products but I get to share my love of paper crafts with others.. I currently run 6 Paper craft & Card Making workshops a month, for both adults & children.

When I'm not preparing kits for workshops I'm kept busy with commission work or producing cards for local shops.
----------------
I'm thankful that my creativity has been passed on to my girls - They both love spending hours & hours in the craftroom with me coming up with the next workshop project, helping me prepare the kits..or more often that not, getting covered in ink, glue & glitter!!!
----------------
The very best thing about this hobby though has to be all the new friends I have made, the kindness & generosity of fellow crafters still amazes me & all the lovely emails & comments I get really do mean so very much to me.
