Guest Design Team invite honoree: Trijntje

biography profile + blog link=

My name is Trijntje and I've been making cards for a long time. We live in the north of the Netherlands. I often make cards with dies and/or pictures. I also enjoy other techniques. Occasionally, I work with ink. I have my own blog : https://trijntjeskaarten.blogspot.com/

I'm retired. Besides making cards, we travel a lot in our VW van. We take our bikes and explore the area by bike. I read a lot along the way. Then I leave the card hobby at home.

I also enjoy baking. I often have something homemade with coffee.

I'm happy to be a guest designer..

Greetings Trijntje
