 Lindsey March

Lindsey lives in Tauranga NZ and brings to the Artfull Crafts Team a wealth of crafting knowledge. She's dabbled in knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, applique, patchwork and quilting! However, nothing has hooked her as much as scrapbooking has. She loves Echo Park, Basic Grey, Prima, Tim Holtz, Jillibean Soup, Cosmo Cricket to name a few. She's also addicted to paper, paper, paper and also flowers, punches, ribbon, buttons, lace, inks, chipboard, paint - yes - just about everything. She is inspired by her three adorable grand daughters and she loves the way that scrapbooking is a brilliant way to combine her love of taking photos and her desire to tell her family's stories.

She creates fabulous cards which are filled with lace, flowers and coloured images.

Liz Gregory - Owner and Creative Director

Liz loves crafts and enjoys teaching classes at her shop in Timaru, NZ. Artfull Crafts takes up most of her time, although she enjoys spending time with her lovely husband Graham, visiting friends and being involved with their local church. She splits her time between card-making, scrapbooking and beyond the page projects and tries to do a little bit of crafting every day! Liz's favourite brand would have to be Kaisercraft. She's enjoyed a long relationship with them and loves the variety of products and projects the release. She's looking forward to contributing to the Team!
