Shirley Freeman
Shirley works part time so crafting is only a hobby at the moment but she would very much like to turn it into a career. It is just a case of waiting for the right time. She loves rubber stamping, creating her own backgrounds using various techniques and many other forms of papercraft. Although she has done traditional scrapbooking for many years, she has also just discovered digital scrapbooking. If you would like to see some of her pages find DaisyTrail.com on the web and search for Shirl Freeman. Encasutic art is another favourite of hers. 'You can create some stunning pictures without being able to paint or draw, which I cannot do to save my life'. Her encaustic work ranges from small toppers for cards to A3 in size.

Keith Nield
When it comes to crafting Keith is very much the silent partner, despite the fact that he went to art college, has an arty background and worked as an illustrator for many years! Keith's background is primarily working within the construction equipment industry. In future Keith hopes to be able to make his original photographs available via the Designs on Craft web-site. Keith has now set up his own web-site keithnieldphotography.weebly.com.
