Dutch Style



My son's girlfriend gave me this stamp for my birthday last year. She bought it for me on one of her trips home (to Holland) to visit her parents. She is very sweet and always carefully chooses presents that match the recipients interests.Now I am sending this card to her parents in Holland. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that my son spent Christmas and New Year with them and had a wonderful time. They even bought him some new clothes and toiletries when his luggage got delayed in all that snow. He didn't get it back until he had been home in Australia for a week !! Just wanted to say thanks to them. I have used the sketch for this week from Stamping 411. A perfect sketch for this stamp - thanks 411 !! ( The houses on it look very authentic now that I have seen photos of Amsterdam ) The DSP I have had forever in my stash (just waiting for the perfect opportunity !!) so I am also entering this in "Oldie Moldie Monday" which I recently found HERE.
