The Dressy Girls

Wendy Burns
Designer & Owner
Hi I'm Wendy and I can't believe these lovely ladies have invited me to be part of this project. I knew nothing about stamping but with their patience and all their years of experience I'm learning. I might even have a go myself, watch this space! 
I live in Nottingham with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters, in particular my Daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and encouraged me to get involved in the "All Dressed Up Team."
I trained as a textile designer and although my work is predominately digital based I love to retain that hand drawn / sewn feel which I hope comes across in the artwork. I can't wait to see all the wonderful creations, I hope you get as much joy out of using the stamps as I have in creating them.

 Hi my name is Carole and I live in the North East of England with my husband who is also my best friend Michael . I have a son Martin, a beautiful daughter-in -law Fiona and a six month old Grandson Miles they live in Didsbury in Manchester. I have always enjoyed crafting, enjoying sewing, scrapbooking and cross stitch. When I retired six years ago I joined a local Craft Group and am now adddicted to card making especially stamping. I do love to have a go at new crafty things as often as I can I have made boxes ,decorated candles and  made stitched and  beaded cards. I started my blog The Things I Love three years ago and  have really enjoyed becoming part of the great craft blog world. When I'm not crafting I'm a school governor, enjoy travelling a lot and lunching with my lovely girl friends. I am absolutely delighted to have been asked to become a designer for All Dressed Up Stamps I always thought this was the sort of thing that happened to other people . Love and hugs Carole x

I'm a professional woman married to my high school sweetheart for 46 years. We have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren that we don't see nearly enough. It was their births that started me scrapbooking and the rest is history. I've now found my new love-card making. I think they're like little works of art that I can share with ones I care about! My daughter would say that I'm a "collector" in that I never met a scrap item that I didn't like and through the years have gathered quite an array of various "treasures" so that I'd ALWAYS have just the right thing to put on my creations. And, sadly, that's the reason I think my craft room sometimes looks like I could open my OWN Local SB store!! I use this "Hobby" as a stress-reliever in the evenings after work as well as playing in my flower gardens, working in the yard, going to craft Festivals-can you tell I work in an office? I'm so happy to be joining this great Design Team! Looks like a happy group of gals.

Most of you know me as aussie aNNie so obviously I live in Australia. As a past scrapbook and card making teacher I still continue to use my skills creating and donating my creations to charity, nursing homes and foster carers. My interests in life are mostly swimming and walking, apart from crafting, and landscaping. As a busy and active person I do not find time to just sit around so most of my cards are made in the evenings. My family are supportive and I have 'one' devoted and loving husband, oh and my shadow, Thye, my chocolate Labrador. I love life."

Andrea here, you may know me from SheepSki Designs. Living in Yorkshire in the UK I work full time as an accountant and have hobbies such as competitive Badminton and Dancing (Argentine tango & Ceroc). I work for four different design teams at present. I have no actual style as such but I do like quirky and unusual images and I may be known for soft pastel colours. I've use mainly Copics but have a stock of mediums to hand now - polychromos & Lyra pencils, ProMarkers and Chameleon Pens. I occasionally paint with water colours and create mixed media canvases.

 Hi, I'm Julie and so excited to be a Dressy Girl!  I'm approaching 59, and will cherish every birthday from here on in after surviving stage 4 cancer last year.  Each day is a gift!  I am back to working full-time at the nursing home in the small town where I live.  I've been the activity director there for 34 years now.  I love my job!  I also love crafting, and card making is my absolute favorite.  When not in my craft room, you'll find me with my husband, our British Golden, Gracie, or on the organ bench at the local church.  I am looking forward to coloring up Wendy's gorgeous images and sharing my creations with you.
