Amy Wanford, Crafting Confessions

Hey! I’m Amy Wanford, also known as Aimes. I’m a tea, toast and paper-crafting addict from England. I’ve always loved getting my craft on with various mediums and I discovered the joys of stamps and ink in 2008. I'm a big fan of CAS designs and you can check out my work on my blog, Crafting Confessions, and in various issues of CARDS and Paper Craft magazines. I currently design for Clearly Besotted Stamps and the challenge site, CASE Study. The highlight of my crafting adventures so far has been designing stamp sets and seeing them being manufactured for purchase.

I’m delighted to be guestie here at Curtain Call Challenge and honoured to be sharing the 'stage' with such talent. :)
