And I would like to introduce you to our GDT for this month, please give her a warm Crafty Catz welcome.

                                                                       INGRID 
Here is a little from Ingrid about herself. 
Hi there, my name is Ingrid Kristina V, I’m in my early 30’s and live in London with my Fiancé and our two little girls. I have always been a crafty soul and enjoy cardmaking, art journaling, creating fine or mixed media art and more, which I regularly share on my blog Ingrid's Crafts Corner.
My cardmaking style is clean simple and contemporary, with bold and bright features, as well as artsy and fun. I like to create the contrast of grunge and glitz not only in cardmaking, but also my art. I’m consistently on a lookout for new trends.
I am honoured to be a part of the Crafty Catz Design Team for the month of June and am super-excited about sharing my creations with you on their fabulous blog. I hope you'll find them inspiring. 

Happy crafting!
Ingrid xxx
