I have always said as soon as I was born and my baby foot was inked that I was then destined to get ‘inky’ and after retirement that is just what I have done.  I think as most say, I went from scrapbooking right into card making and never looked back.  I don’t have a special ‘style’ but am all over the place, that is the fun of it to me!!
