Hi I'm Jane, also known as Miss Jane to a lot of my friends, hence why my creative sharing Facebook page, Instagram and Blog are all called 'Miss Jane's Classroom'. I've been making cards since I was six years old. I had the dream job of working for an Australian cardmaking magazine called 'Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft' for 11 years. I was the Editor of the magazine in it's last year of production, unfortunately like many magazines it folded. I had great joy in meeting so many talented cardmakers, it was an immeasurable experience.

I live in a small rural town called Moree NSW Australia. Instead of the kids moving out of home, hubby and I moved out instead, from a busy suburb lifestyle to a peaceful, quiet small town of 10,000. I'm finding it challenging with the lack of shops, people I know, no family or friends close (eight hour driving trip). One thing exciting though, this move gives me the leisure for more time to create! I love all things about cardmaking, I haven't really got a particular style because I love them all and we are always learning I say! I'm very excited and feel so privileged to be a guest designer for Newton's Nook Designs, I just love their designs and have so for many years!

Now who doesn’t like llamas?? Everyone loves them!! I decided to give this llama some spunk and a lot of attitude, especially with those cool blue sunnies and that bright coat!

I stamped one of Newton's Nook Designs Lovable Llamas images on blender card with Memento tuxedo black ink and added the curved blanket/coat to it.

I coloured the llama using my Copics.

The Hill background looks pretty cool too, I created this by drawing curved hills on plain vellum using a white prismacolor pencil, flipped it over and coloured the reverse side using several shades of green Distress Ink pads using a chalk applicator, this technique gives it a lovely soft coloured effect don’t you think? Funky hills for a funky llama!

Lastly, I also put little eyelashes on the llama and created a fluffy body by drawing little half curved circles using a blue marker.
