Hi, I’m a 60-year-young crafter, proud mum to a daughter and son, grandmother to two amazing grandchildren, and a devoted puppy parent! I live in a small valley town in South Wales and by day, I work for the Welsh Government, but my evenings and weekends are dedicated to family time, dog walks, and indulging in my passion for crafting.

Making and creating has been a lifelong love of mine, starting at a young age with knitting alongside my grandmother and over the years, I’ve explored crocheting, sewing, cross-stitch, beading and card-making.

My journey with Elizabeth Craft Designs began in early 2020, and the ECD Facebook Lives during COVID became a creative lifeline and they continue to inspire me every day! I fell in love with memory-keeping and can proudly confirm that I’ve been an ECD Planner Essentials addict ever since.

Hi — this is Denise with PaperKraftD. I love all paper crafts, and I see no reason I should choose just one! Most recently I have been focusing on journaling and planning. I’ve been incorporating journaling and mixed media in my planners for a while now. And I’ve started using planning elements in my journals. They are both beautiful and functional. I’ve been paper crafting for over 25 years. I taught classes at my local stamp shop and scrapbooking stores about 10 years ago: mini albums, tags, and multimedia journals were my specialty. When they closed their doors, I started doing online tutorials. I love sharing my paper crafting adventures and building a community of creative people who embrace the tactile arts. As a new Planner Essentials Design Team member for 2024, I hope you join me on my new paper crafting adventure, as we explore all that Elizabeth Craft Designs has to offer paper crafting enthusiasts. Kraft on!

Hi. My name is Julia Watts. I live in the south of England with my son and my cat. I was a demonstrator on Create & Craft, Hochanda and The Craft Store for approx 12 years representing lots of different companies. It was on Hochanda that I first discovered Elizabeth Craft Designs and their wonderful Planner Essentials Collection.

I retired from tv work in July 2022 when I moved down south to be near to my daughter and her husband.

I am an ECD stockist and I run monthly classes locally to me. I’m loving the enthusiasm that new people have for the whole concept of preserving their memories in their planners.

I am very much looking forward to seeing what new goodies are in store in 2025 and I hope you will enjoy the projects I will share with you.

Hi, my name is Marie-Claire (@made_by_ marie_claire). I live in the Netherlands, am married, and have 2 daughters. I've been crazy about paper and pens all my life. Over 30 years ago I bought my first stamp and haven't stopped collecting them! I’ve made cards, labels, and boxes. In 2018 I bought my first ring boud planner from Esther Glas at a fair, ever since I’ve loved planners and making black & white pages. I hope I can inspire people!

Since age 4, I've been immersed in art, from "Art School" games with my brother to holding after-school art classes in the garage. By day, I'm a wife and mom to two boys. As an artist, I make it a daily vow to create something, whether it's journaling, designing planners, painting, knitting, or teaching Cardio and Yoga classes. Thrilled to be part of the Planner Essentials Design Team with Elizabeth Craft Designs, I look forward to sharing creative journeys with you all!

I was born in New Zealand 1958 and in 2000 planted my roots in Nederland (Holland) permanently. In 2021, myself, my husband Frans and our two Yorkshire fur babies, Jazzie and Pebbles decided to settle in a small village called Ugchelen, connected to Apeldoorn about 1 ½ hours’ drive south of Amsterdam.

I have always had a strong interest in craft and handwork, such as embroidery, knitting, crochet, dressmaking and design, especially wedding gowns and after five wear so when I entered into paper crafting world in 2000….a new path opened up for me. Inks, paints, beads, clay, metal and all forms of mixed media, plus all that I could marry in from past crafts. Need I say I also feel in love with 3D flower making, journals and planners. I had loved giving classes and tutoring in New Zealand before immigrating to Nederland, so this also was a new venture that opened up for me. It’s a win, win, giving classes in what I love to do the most. I feel so privileged and excited to be in the ECD Planner design team. I hope my crafting style can inspire fellow crafters to think out of the box and grow in your crafting journey. Wishing you all many, many happy crafting hours in the coming year.

Hiya! Wanda here. I’ve been creative my entire life from watching my Father, an artist who painted everyday, to building communities out of play dough to later studying Architecture, Interior Design and eventually Goldsmithing. I grew up loving paper; I was a stationary hoarder! Truth be told, I still am! Once I was exposed to paper crafting, scrapbooking and Art Journalling, I was hooked! I live a quiet life with my husband and our fur baby Saint Sherpa. I create daily and find joy in the small pleasures of life whether at home or when travelling. I am grateful to be a part of Esther’s Planner Essential Design Team and look forward to inspiring and being inspired by this amazing community of creatives!
