Meet Mifta...


I’m Miftail Ahmed, 20 years old, graduating at University. I live in Bangladesh.

Crafting is my passion which always makes me comfortable. I started my crafting journey in 2018.
I love paper crafting, card making, scrapbooking and doing mixed media art. I don't have a style that I always follow!!
I love to experiment with new ideas and techniques.
As a team player and a passionate crafter, I love to inspire people.
It is a great opportunity and a wonderful experience to be a part of the Love To Craft Challenge Blog design team. It inspires me a lot.

And meet Lou...


JemLou Productions

I'm mother to a beautiful girl (nearly 14) and handsome boy (11-1/2) and wife to a loving and supportive husband. I have been crafting since I was a girl, but it really took off when I was living in the States and wanted some "cheap" gifts - so I started collecting crafting materials and tools. I got into digital scrapbooking in Germany just before our little boy was born and documented the first two years of his life, including the rest of the family. We started a family website and so all the blogging on there is about the family and what we are doing (it desperately needs some attention, and I am going to try and get the kids involved this year)! When we finally moved back down to Australia, all the craft stuff had travelled from the States to Australia via Germany - so then I got into making cards and colouring with Copics and other mediums. I started my card shop on Etsy in 2011. I enjoy colouring (I have been a member of Kit and Clowder's monthly classes since the beginning) and trying to use my stash, although I am still collecting (lots of Power Poppy stamps and La-La Land Crafts stamps and dies!) and I need to start listing some items on my shop!

 I am on the Winter Wonderland and Lil Patch of Crafty Friends DTs, and Colour Crazy as an extended guest DT member. I have also been on the creative team of Weeds and Wildflowers Designs which was a digital scrapbooking company. I was also on the Merry Christmas Challenge DT and the Not Just Cards DT.

 I post on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JemLouProducts/ and need to get my Instagram up and going. I also have Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com.au/jemlouproducts/ but it needs an update!

Welcome aboard, Mifta and Lou! We're so happy you're both joining our team and look forward to lots of crafting with you both!

Hugs,
Leslie & the DT
