About Me

Hello, I'm Zoe, paper crafter, shopaholic and Tim Holtz Addict.

I'm British and moved to Switzerland 6 years ago after my childhood sweetheart contacted me through facebook 18 years after we left school. We are now happily married and I absolutely love living here with my Husband.

To say that "Christmas is my favourite time of year" is an understatement! I AM OBSESSED WITH IT! I love the snow, twinkly lights, cinnamon candles, baking smells, rich deep reds and glitter as far as the eye can see.

Comment: Your tag is gorgeous and so was everything in the package. Thank you so much for the Wonderland items - you know I covet those! You are a top-notch swapper and I am honored to have received from you. And thank you for graciously offering to resend. I guess the queen of hearts had different plans on her postal journey but she finally landed in my mailbox today in pristine condition. Sometimes a thing comes through after we've given up on it. Life is just funny that way.

Comment: This tag is gorgeous. So happy you could UWYH with all of the ingredients. Love all the gears and details. Thank you muchly as well for the awesome extras!! I've never had any of these items and they caused a great deal of squealing when I opened the package.
Response: You're very welcome. Hoard those Timmy stencil types with your life! They're rarer than rocking horse shit, so squealing was expected! ;) Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: As soon as I received this package I wanted to start working on Halloween projects! You sent such a great variety and almost all of it is stuff I have never seen before. I really love those brads- they will make great accent pieces. I also love the hand stamped, clever fragment. Having you as a partner is always a treat and never a trick...
Response: I loved putting it together for you, but was sad to pack my Halloween goodies away for another year. Looking forward to more spooktastic swaps with you. Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: Thanks so much for the cool skull ATC. I love these blueprint stamps! I haven't played with the small sizes much but your cards have inspired me. Really beautiful color combo on this card and the extremely subtle white gel penwork is perfect! Love your envie sealing wax too! :) You are an awesome swap partner!
Response: Thanks again Michele. It was nice to see your full sized versions of the stamps and a really fun swap. Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: Whoo-Hoo! It finally made it safe and sound. Incredible package as always: four wonderous ATCs (the bat is my favorite but the techniques on the tombstone one are striking), an envelope stuffed with extra embellishments and beautiful charms, several fun "some assembly required" boxes and such (the blood drip embossing on the matchbook is very cool), and last but not least some gorgeous postage stamps!! You rock swap-bot!! Thanks so much for everything! <3<3<3<3<3
Response: Thanks Michele, the bat was my fave too. The tombstone didn't turn out exactly as I had wanted, but I learned a few things in the process. So pleased you liked everything and I shall continue to fight for actual postage stamps. Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: First, thank you for resending. Second, This card ROCKS!!!!! I love it so much. What a style you have, just amazing. This is already on my favorites shelf and in the front! The little bag of extras is the best thing I have seen. I love how you put it together and the "M" on the top. I don't think I will be able to open it. This is such a thrill I wish I could express it more. Thank you! Thank you! and Thank you! Hugs, Mona
Response: Ahhh thanks for the really kind comments Mona, it was a really fun swap to put together and I loved creating Halloween in February. The packages are only stapled shut, so get opening. ;) Hope to swap with you again. Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: I am thrilled to now be the proud owner of the famous "Sleeve"! Erm, I mean, "Crow" ATC. So lovely to have this in my collection, and of course extra special with your hand drawn addition. You must have an amazingly fine tipped pen, as this certainly looks like part of the stamped image. Your items are always so nicely packaged I never want to tear into them, just gaze at them all in their crappy goodness. OOh more charms to hoard! These will be great for next Halloween. You are right about that paper bad die being very cool. Love the way you backed the cat die cut with black. You could make teeny Christmas luminarias with a battery operated set of lights, one light per bag, but hmm, how to hide the cord... Thanks for the awesome package, as always!
Response: Aha, that infamous "Sleeve" ATC. I used a Zig Zag journaling pen for the hand drawn bit. It's definitely a one off, I really can't draw for toffee. Your idea for the paper bag luminarias is awesome. I've got some battery powered tea lights somewhere, which would be perfect. It's always my pleasure to send to you. Thanks for the lovely comments, rating and <3

Comment: Love the festive RWB rolo! Thanks so much for resending, I know it can get tedious having to remake an original piece of art, so I very much appreciate this. I think I am going to have to contact Rachel and Travis to see if they could add another Heart button to the rating system for people who actually send THE ENTIRE STAMP SET they used on the art piece. Thank you so much, I love the stamps, the American bits for my "bins" and the gnome stripper card is hilarious!
Response: LOL I'm so pleased this one arrived and you like the stamp set. I was happy to add to your Americana bin. The gnome stripper card had to be yours, something about it just screamed SUE! LMAO Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: This is the BEST Halloween package I have EVER recieved! Your ATC's are awesome and the extra treasures are so wonderfully spooky. How did you do the drips on the ATC background? It's so cool! Now I can hardly wait for next Halloween to use them.......aak...that's a year away! How will I wait? Thank you so much Zoe!!
Response: High praise indeed (blushes). The drips were done with an embossing folder Drip Drop by Craft Concepts, which I got on eBay. I really am so pleased that you liked what I sent. Thanks for the rating and <3

Comment: Wow, wow, wow! Zoe, you are THE best! I love everything you sent me, I always feels so spoiled when you and I swap. I can never tell you how much I admire your artistic talent and your generosity in sharing it! Where did you get thos pumpkin die cuts? I love them. And how did you knkow I adore Daniel Torrente? So this ATC is extra special for me. Thank you SO much! xxoo!
Response: Arh, thanks for your kind comments Patti. The Stampotique images were a happy coincidence, I was a little worried it might be a bit dark or gory, so I'm delighted that you're a Daniel Torrente fan. I die cut the pumpkins with a Quickutz die and twinchies from one of the Tim Holtz paper stacks. Thanks for the lovely rating and <3

Comment: OMG can you say.......WOWSER!!!!This matchbox is AMAZING. I love the colors, paper, flowers, the little drawer handle and the sun dial. So darn cute! All the goodies inside were wonderful and I was like a little kid squealing with delight. I even received 2 extra good bags to squeal over. I love, love, love the envelope. I went to 4 stores looking for the Tim Holtz die, come to find out he doesn't have an envelop die. I was so bummed. Again, this was fabulous and you ALWAYS send AWESOME swaps with your talented artistic flare! You are the BEST!!! UPDATE: I just found the die on Amazon and already bought it.....Nice!
Response: I'm pleased you found the die, he definitely has one, it's one of my faves. Sorry for enabling you, but pleased you liked the package, I love making matchboxes and used one of his old collage stamps I scooped up on eBay. Thank you for such lovely comments, the rating and <3

Why hast though forsaken me? I'm sorry for whatever it was I did that caused you to block me, how can I make it right? I'm wracking my brain to figure out what it was and it hurts my heart if I wronged you, but I sincerely apologize for whatever it was if you can let me know, I hope we can make amends. I miss your friendship sense of humor immensely. Hope you are doing well, I wish you all the best. love, Suey.

Hi Zoe, thank you so very much for the beautiful handmade Paris themed birthday card. I love every detail and can see what care you put into each and every part. The pennant banner is a great touch. And I have to say, I love that blueprint cupcake! I had a very nice birthday. I forget what I did, something simple, but I remember there being cake involved, yes.
