An Australian-born Canadian, Deborah is a very happily retired social worker living in Nova Scotia who now enjoys papercrafting as her “second career 8-4 routine.” An empty nester of a son and a daughter, she enjoys spending time with her four grandsons, three of whom play in her crafts room with her as long as she’ll let them.

Deborah teaches card design in her hometown of Halifax, dabbles in mixed media design, and has won several card design contests. Her work has been published in Paper Creations, Rubber Stamp Madness, Correspondence Art, Rubber Stamper, Paper Crafts, Joy of Card Making, Simply Sentiments, and is scheduled for publication in Stampington’s Take Ten, and magazines in the UK and Australia.

She’s an active member of several online communities, and enjoys the pleasures of electronic social interaction as a happy addition to her addiction. Deborah also immerses herself in gardening and creates stained glass pieces to whet her creative appetite. She “found” Quietfire earlier this year, and has been delighted to see how well her cards using QFD stamps are being received by magazines.

Deborah is “tickled pink” to be a part of the Quietfire Design Team.
