My Name is Amanda or Mandy to my friends and Made by Mandy in the crafty community.

I am 49 years old. Not quite sure how that happened so quickly as I still feel like I am 21! I live in Sutton Coldfield, just outside of Birmingham in the UK with my wonderful husband Paul. We have been together for over 30 years and I am very lucky to spend my life with such a lovely man who completely supports me in my crafty ventures.

I have been crafty ever since I could use children’s safety scissors! I have dabbled in quilting, dressmaking, crochet, knitting, embroidery, cross stitch and since November 2002 pretty much exclusively cardmaking after seeing a demo at the NEC. I have been blogging my cards since May of 2007. I love taking part in the challenges and the blogosphere is a constant source of inspiration. 

My signature style is bright and colourful. I like to make unusual cards and adore using pretty papers. I’ve never been happy with the stamped images I produce so digi stamps have been an amazing way of improving my cardmaking skills. I love the flexibility of resizing and combining images. I can also experiment with different styles of images that I wouldn’t have purchased as a rubber stamp.

I had a break from making cards for a number of years but now I am back in. A new house, a new craft room, a little bit older but not necessarily wiser LOL.

Hi! My name is Maja (Ma-Mi on blogger). I'm a single mom and a teacher from Slovenia. I love traveling and sports but crafting is my greatest hobby since I remember. My favourite style is CAS. I wish to have much time for watercolor painting, for now, card making is my main hobby.  

I invite you to visit my blog Rilček in Kljunček (nicknames of me and my son when we were toddlers). 

Be safe!
