My profile

My job from 8h00 to 13hoo is to be a librarian, but for the rest of the day I am crafting. I love cardmaking and the past ten years I have created a lot of cards for family and friends. I like  experimenting with new crafting tools and products. I have a big rubber stamp collection and using the older stamps with the new products can be very challenging. A little bit more about myself … My name is Amelia and I live in Pretoria, South Africa with my husband. In loving memory …. my two dogs, Twyla and Katy and my four cats, Natasha, Lady Lara, Thomas and Charlie. It was so hard to say goodbye each time so we decided not to have pets anymore. But the we discovered 6 adorable little kittens with their Mummy in our garden and they stole our hearts.  Through the past 5 years we lost 5 of them due to car accidents. We still have Bontes and Rosy and I am grateful to share each day their company when crafting.

    Your cards are sooo beautiful. I am new at card making and enjoy new ideas.
    Keep up the beautiful art and enjoy!

    Hi… I have been hooked on your blog for several months now. I have finally plunged and purchased that lattice punch from Martha Stewart… I have it all cut and ready to attach and am now stumped. How do I attach this delicate piece of paper?… Help please..

    How in the world did I miss your blog?!?!?! Such beautiful artwork on your cards and I can’t wait to try some of them. I have been making cards for several years and love all the “busy work” on mine so please don’t take offense if I go by some of yours, they are scrumptious!

    Goeie dag Amelia, jou kaartjies is stunning. Jy is ‘n inspirasie vir almal wat wil kaartjies maak. Ek is op soek na ‘n Penny Black stamp. Waar kan ek gaan aanklop in ons area. Ek bly in Centurion.
