Amy Ottmers

Hi, my name is Amy. I am a stay at home mother to three amazing children. My daughter is 17 and my two boys are 16 and 12, they keep me full of life and very busy at times. We live in Georgetown, Texas which is right outside of Austin, TX. After growing up in a military family it is nice to stay in one place for a while. I love to travel and of course craft. I started scrapbooking 16 years ago and have been making cards for 6, I love both but right now card making is my favorite. My style is more CAS then anything but I love trying new techniques and of course learning all styles. I'm very excited to be a GDT for Cardz 4 Guyz!!!

Andreja

I am Andreja and I come from a small and beautiful country Slovenia in Europe.

I am married 12 years, but unfortunately we do not have children. We both have some hobbys, so creating is for me a great consolation. I am a creative person since I remember. In the "Blog world" I am more than 5 years.

I make the most greeting cards and other paper creations, but I am doing the other things, too, when I have time: I like mixed media tehnic, I make jewellery, I knitting and sewing. I am very happy to be part of this great "June" team as GDT :-))

Hugs, Andreja

Moving on to our next challenge which has been chosen by Andrea.

Being the official first day of Summer (UK) not that you would know as I type this

with the rain and cold wind - Andrea has chosen for us

CHALLENGE # 53

BIRDS

Starting with Andrea, let's visit the flock of birds created

by the amazing and talented Design Team, so many varieties.
