paper crafting. I use all different companies products, I have given home parties, and have

profile = I am a retired nurse, married and mother of 3, a grandmother and a great grandmother.  I started scrapbooking in 2011.  I made my first card for an online challenge in 2012 (I think); which required me to have a blog.  Cardmaking became my main focus a few years later.  I have been lucky to be part of several Design Teams over the years.  I have been on the Conie Fong Art & Design Team for about 8 years, I think.  I love digital images and I love to color.  I love being part of the crafting community and everyone is very supportive.

My name is HenriĆ«t and I'm 55 years old. 
I'm married to Dirk and we have 2 sons. They both had moved out since a few years. I'm working as a care-coƶrdinator on a primary school.
I like making cards out of paper but also with mixed media. My whole live I spent being creative: card-making, crocheting, photography and I'm playing an instrument in a harmony.
Besides that my husband and I like geo-caching and explore other countries during our holidays.

And this is her moo-velous Guest DT card:
