The Team

OWNERS

His background in electronics, software engineering, computers and websites has been of great benefit to the business. Liz has been making hand-made cards for many years, but has also developed a strong interest in scrapbooking and beyond the page projects. Her designs are colourful and creative, and exude the energy and joy that makes up her personality. Graham is yet to get crafty!
