SDC May Guest Designer

Hello Stampotique lovers,

My name is Yvonne Koops, I live near the sea and the beach in the Netherlands, together with my husband and two of our three sons.

I am happy, honoured and proud to be guest designer here with Stampotique.

All my life I have been engaged in doing creative things and I attended many courses in the past, such as textile arts, pottery, goldsmithing and making jewelry.

In 2009 I discovered stamping and a few years later I also got involved in Art Journaling and Mixed Media. About these I also attended lots of online workshops.

And then, in 2012  I discovered Stampotique….WOW, I was in love with all those crazy, funny and lovely stamps !!! And so I bought my first Stampotique : Angel.

And now I am collecting lots of more of them but my wish list is much longer, hihihi.

This year I made myself a promise to make and post every week the SDC and up to now I succeeded ☺

And now I'm very curious about your projects for this month and also how you think about my projects.

XXX Yvonne.

Stop over and say "hi" to Yvonne here at her blog: http://www.yvonne1960.blogspot.nl/

My deepest apologies go out to Yvonne that I'm so behind in getting this posted-life got away from me and I didn't get it posted on the 1rst like we usually do.
