This month we are also featuring cards from two GDTs.

First of all we have Lorraine:

"My name is Lorraine Sexton, I am 66 years of age and I live in West Sussex with my lovely hubby Kevin.  I have two children and two grandchildren.

I first started making cards probably 20 years ago.  I used to visit the Craft Barn in Lingfield which was started by a lady called Maggie Wright.  She had first seen rubber stamps in the US and thought it would be good to introduce them to us in the UK.  Over the years I have progressed from rubber stamping to try most techniques but my main love is still stamping and colouring.   One area I’m not keen on is the “Grunge” look, I prefer clean lines, fresh colours and try not to overdo it with embellishments.  Like most other papercrafters I have amassed a huge “stash” and I really should take stock one of these days, but you never know when things might come in handy.   I really get a buzz from sending my finished cards to my friends and family and I try to tailor the design of the card to the particular recipient.  The only complaint I get is that they can’t bear to throw them away so have an ever growing pile of my cards!

My other  interests include gardening, birdwatching, walking, knitting and I also volunteer as a Room Guide at Standen, my local National Trust property.

I would be delighted to be asked to become a Guest Designer for Little Claire whose products I have liked and used over the years.  I especially like using clear stamps but have recently discovered digistamps which are so versatile"

And is Lorraine's gorgeous card:

Lorraine has used our 'Darling Daschunds' stamp set

Next is Colette

"My name is Colette and I have been Paper-crafting for 8yrs now. I have always been interested in creating things since I was a child. I had a stressful job, so crafting was a way of relaxation. I could make a mess in my craft room and time would just pass and I would relax. I have been a fan of Little Claire's Stamps for a long time and was a member of their craft club from the beginning. I enjoy stamping, decoupage and any type of card making.

I am married to Tim and we have three grown up children, 2 basset hounds, a border terrier and 6 hens. We live in a cottage that dates back to 1485"

And this is Colette's gorgeous card:
