This week we are pleased to welcome one of our long

She hails all the way from the UK....

Tracy Evans

"I am an enthusiastic rubber stamper/card maker, a hobby which began approximately 12 years ago after my son was born.  

Since then it has now become an addiction!  

For ten years I had my own retail outlet, Craft Addicts Limited, but decided to close the doors to spend  more time with my children and on my hobbies, crafting and gardening.

I am very fortunate to have had my work published in Making Cards Magazine and Stampers’ Sampler and recently featured as their Guest Artist.   I started blogging in May 2010 and now work on a couple of design teams and as Guest Designer on several more.  

I would like to think that my 

blog inspires people to ‘have a go’ and CREATE!

I love to challenge myself and work outside my comfort zone. My style ranges from clean to grungy and I love to use embellishments in my artwork. 

 I find it great fun participating in blog challenges including  

The Play Date Café. 

It inspires me on a weekly basis and challenges me to think 

outside the box with my colour choices. 

Enjoy playing along with this weeks colour challenge; I hope it inspires you too!  Pop over to see more details on my piece over on my blog www.craftaddicts-tracyevans.blogspot.com."
