Sandie Gough





Hello everyone, My name is Sandie but you probably know me better around blogland as Fairytale Daydream.  I was very excited to be asked to Guest for the challenge and I really hope you like my make on the theme.  I am happily married to my best friend and together we have 8 children and we are a very tight team, and I love them all so much.
I have been crafting in one form or another for as long as I can remember but I suppose I’ve been into paper-crafting properly for about 7 years.  First with decoupage and then stamping.  Stamping led to inking which I adore and love nothing better than getting messy distressing something or other!  Then I discovered digi stamps and that led to my obsession with alcohol markers and the amazing effects you can achieve with them!  Now I am an eclectic crafter!  You can find me colouring for hours, but then covered in ink and mist spray or layering papers to create the perfect backing! 
Thank you for letting me introduce myself and I hope you join the challenge too!
