Kitty - DT Creative
Kitty lives with her partner and our son in a historic town in The Netherlands. She has been crafting as long as she can remember.
In 2001 she started scrapbooking, but was diagnosed with postpartum illness. She gradually stopped making layouts and just made some small projects for her garden.
In 2010 she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was advised to do something that gives her positive energy and what makes her happy. Kitty took up paper crafting and card making again using rubber stamps but discovered digital images in 2014. She loves to color with a variety of markers, yet has never taken a lesson.
"Thankful and proud for being part of the Digi Doodle Studios DT. Hope to create a lot of fun stuff with the images and I hope to inspire you with my work."

I’m more of a 'pile it on', than a 'clean & simple' type crafter."

"I have been crafting for most of my life, making all sorts of bits and bobs and have been card making for well over 10 years, which has turned into a full scale room takeover. My style depends on my mood, I can create clean and simple cards, as well as paper layering, but my main enjoyment is stamping or printing digital images and colouring with my ProMarkers. If I do have any free time i do love to take the dogs for long walks, baking and reading a good book while soaking in the bath."

Merja Sivonen - DT Creative
I am Merja or MeSi (depends on where you see me :) and I live in Finland. I just started studying Financial Management at university of applied sciences and hopefully will graduate in a few years.
I've always loved crafting, but I've been more active since the start of 2020. At the moment I mostly do cards and colour digi images - those are my lifesaver and help me to relax. My most used crafting supplies are digi stamps, alcohol markers and cutting dies, but I also like to try something different every now and then. I love strong and bright colours and usually do pretty simple cards.

Tania Cordie - Guest Designer
I am a wife, stay at home mum and a life long crafter. I create pretty much full time for my blog and market stall. Love to stamp whether it be physical or digital, as both have their pros and cons. I cannot remember what triggered my love for crafting but can always remember I never left home without a pencil and notebook. Still don't. You never know when creativity will strike! I love colouring with copics. and occasionally with Prismacolour pencils to add that very fine touch.
