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.

bio =  I have always enjoyed crafting, but I started paper crafting 20 years ago when my sister asked me to create scrapbook pages for my parents anniversary gift. I fell in love!  I started making cards a few years later, and never looked back.  I love trying new techniques, but my most favorites are dies and embossing.  

This is her A for anniversary theme card project:

Debbie : Thanks for creating a heartfelt anniversary card!
