Guest DT honoree Trijntje

blog & profile: I am Trijntje. I have a blog, mainly for my cards: https://trijntjeskaarten.blogspot.com/ I have been making greeting cards for a very long time, mainly using stencils. Working with paper is truly my hobby. I have been retired for several years now, together with my husband. Besides crafting, we also cycle and walk regularly. We both love traveling. We are often on the road in our VW camper van throughout Europe. In the winter, we often take a trip outside Europe. That is when I enjoy reading.

profile = Hi everyone, my name is Denise and I live in a small town in South Wales, UK.  I have been paper crafting for as long as I can remember and started my blog in 2008.  I was lucky enough to take early retirement a few years ago so enjoy crafting even more now that I have more free time. Crafting keeps me sane and I love make cards, tags and ATC's; well basically anything involving paper!  I love mystery films and books and my goal is to read more in 2026. Thank you so much for having me as your guest in February.
