Guest DT Grand Champion Invite honoree , 

from January's #28 brags = Trijntje

her blog & profile: I'm Trijntje I have a blog mainly for my cards https://trijntjeskaarten.blogspot.com/ I've been making greeting cards for a long time. Especially with dies. Working with paper is really my hobby. I've been retired for a few years now together with my husband. Besides crafting, we also cycle and walk regularly. We both love to travel. We travel a lot with our VW camper van through Europe. In the winter we often take a trip outside Europe. Then I enjoy reading.
