"I'm a SAHM with three young children. I trained in Textile Design at the Glasgw School of Art and I love all things handmade, but especially papercrafts. I love to doodle ... and my doodles are available to purchase as digital images through Stitchy Bear Stamps."

Please pop along and take a look at Claire's wonderful images.  The design team were given a selection of images to work with and I'm sure you'll agree that they did a fab job:
