Lynda’s journey truly took off with Creative Crafting World, where she built a trusted brand in Paper Boutique synonymous with quality cardmaking materials, exclusive paper collections, and beloved character licenses. Her ability to curate stylish, usable crafting kits earned her a loyal following and regular presence on crafting television.

As “Trouble” in the Crafty Witches trio (alongside “Toil” and “Hubble Bubble”), Lynda brings a wealth of expertise and a touch of fun to everything she does.
At The Crafty Witches, Lynda continues to innovate, developing paper products, downloadable artwork, and coordinating fabrics - often featuring exclusive work from celebrated artists like Pollyanna Pickering and Kevin Wood.
