Please welcome our newest Guest Designer,
Amy White, Whitehouse Stamping

Hi, I'm Amy and I live in Bristol, England. I was introduced to card making around 9 years ago and was instantly hooked. A couple of years later I was introduced to Stampin Up and ended up becoming a demonstrator. I've met so many great people through this hobby and one of my favourite things to do is teaching classes in my home, where I have a great group of ladies come to chat, make cards and have lots of fun.

I have a long-suffering husband who puts up with paper and stamps all over the place as well as five kitties who enjoy sitting right in the middle of my craft table and playing with scrap bits of paper. I love playing along with challenges to stretch my creativity and I'm excited to be playing along with Curtain Call!

Next up, is the ever-fabulous Curtain Call Crew with their amazing projects!
