Anita Bowden

Hi there, my name is Anita and I live in a coastal town in South Devon, in the south west of England.  I have a full-time job as an Audio Secretary and in my spare time I love to get creative and find some escapism in cardmaking.  I've always been very creative, with cross-stitch being an early addiction, and then in about 2005 I bought myself a cardmaking kit and was hooked.  About two years ago I discovered some fantastic blogs I saw advertised in a craft magazine and these inspired me to create my own blog, 'Neet & Crafty'.  I've learned so much from my friends in blogland and my stash has now transformed to consist mainly of stamps.  I just love stamps and ink, and my other favourite item is my Big Shot, I don't know how I managed without it!  I'm so inspired by challenge blogs, whether it be a cue word, colour combo or sketch, they are great to get your creative mojo moving.  They really do challenge you to try new techniques, and use colour palettes you would never think of putting together. 

I would like to say a huge thank you to Hayley and Tara for inviting me to be a Guest Designer at Colour Me...! for the month of November.  To work alongside this awesome team is an absolute honour.
