I live in a little slice of paradise (Florida) with my husband, our four kids and our dog, Angel. I'm pretty laid back and like to fun and smile. As well as making other people smile, too. :) My time is spent with my family, going to the beach, playing outside, and just hanging out. Of course, I always try to sneak in some crafty time, too! ;) (I love to get my hands on paper and stamps!)

My blog is Simply Sweet Greetings. You can also find me on some social media sites, like Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.  

How did I get into cardmaking:

I started off scrapbooking in 2003/2004...and shortly after found my true passion was making cards. :)

How did I get into cardmaking:

I had originally started scrapbooking when my oldest was about 2 years old, but turned my attention more to cardmaking after a very good friend took me to a local rubber stamp store.   Initially I combined my love of cross-stitch with cardmaking, but within a few years had to stop cross-stitching due to an injury to my shoulder.   I discovered the online papercrafting community in 2007, started a couple of galleries (Splitcoaststampers and Flickr) before starting my blog in 2010.

Favorite cardmaking season:

I like to make cards all year long, but do really enjoy making Christmas cards. 

Favorite AJVD stamp:

My favorite AJVD stamp set is the Simply Said: To the Moon & Back. 

Favorite AJVD die:

Hands down the Stitched Dot Rectangles are my favorite dies.  I use them all the time!

Favorite Candy:

I love chewy candies like Haribo Gummy Bears and Dots. 

Ardyth Percy-Robb

Bio:

I started cardmaking in 2006, at a Stampin' Up! Party and have never looked back. Before that, I would not have claimed to be crafty or creative at all - I'm an accountant (a profession where creativity is frowned upon)! 

I live in Toronto, Canada. I have an 18 year old son and a 14 year old daughter.
I love clean, graphic design with bold colours and lots of white space. My favourite cards are the ones where stamps are used in unexpected ways to create something completely different.

How did I get into cardmaking:

 I wanted to stamp a cactus on the back of store bought Christmas cards to celebrate my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes upcoming trip to the Fiesta Bowl way back in 2002.  Little did I realize that desire was going to start something that would last for many years.
