Hello Friends,
I am over the moon to have been
newly appointed recently to the Design Team for My Besties UK and I am
honoured to have been approached to join in
this challenge today to introduce myself as their Guest DT.
My name is Annette Stapylton, I
live in Nowra on the South Coast in NSW Australia which is located approx 2+1/2 hours from Sydney
where I reside with my husband
of 40 years and my two little Dogs Zjarie and Missie.
I have been Scrapping on and off
just as a hobby for over 10 years but have been more serious with my scrapping since retiring
due to illness from my Curtain/Interior Design Business 4
Years ago.
I love to be creative and most of
all, I like my work to be different. My forte is definitely designing and making cards and I love entering as many
challenges as I possibly can.
I had been making cards and entering into a number of challenges when I was approached by a friend to make up a Besties Card and enter it into a Besties Challenge. At first I was not interested and did not bother but my dear friend kept approaching me, so in the end I decided to make up a Besties Card and entered the Challenge and much to my surprise it won. From then on I have been totally hooked on Besties, I can say Besties changed my life. I have included this card today which is the first card listed. I coloured her with Copics and did 3 Layers for 3D and just kept it very simple as the challenge theme was "Keep It Simple".
From that day onwards I have never looked back and today I am now DT for My Besties 3D Decoupage Australia, My Besties International USA, Funky Flairs Australia, Scrap Book Blessings Club USA and I am the Creator and Owner of Meet at the Scrappers Corner where I run a monthly Challenge for My Besties, I am DT Leader along with 6 wonderfully talented DT Ladies Angela, Antoinette, Eleonora, Debbie, Jane and Sue who work alongside of me.
