Cindy our Guest from the Netherlands


Good Morning and welcome to the Besties UK blog ... today we have Cindy visiting us from the Dutch Besties Team .. please give her a very warm welcome .....


My name is Cindy van der Velde, 40 years old and I live in Hellevoetsluis, The Netherlands . It is a small town approx. 30 km of Rotterdam.  I live together with my boyfriend. I don't have any children. 


I work fulltime at a lawyers / sollicitors office. I am appointed by the District Court as a trustee of people with large debts. It is my job to help them to get a steady life.  I meet people with a lot of problems, so card making for me is the utmost way to relax.

I've made cards since I was a little girl. I was always sitting near my Mom with some items to make. I make cards in lot of different ways (scrap, embroidery). Furthermore I make my own clothes now and then. I like knitting, cross stitch, embroidery, too much to tell. It is very excited that my mum is also a DT-member of my Besties Dutch Girls Designs. It is so much fun to make the cards and creations together.

 I like to color with copics. Sometimes I use Distress ink or pencils. I am always in for new challenges and new things to do. 

 I am very proud that I was asked to be a DT-member. I am a Bestie girl since the start of the Dutch My Bestie Blog and I still love it! 

Please feel free to visit my blog: http://cindyvandervelde.blogspot.nl.


Thank you for letting me tell something about myself. If you have any questions, don't hestitate to ask.  I hope you all will join the challenges on the Bestieblogs worldwide!

Hello all in the UK

This time it's my turn to show some of my work.  My name is Dorothy Madereel and I'm one of the two coordinators of the Dutch My Besties Girls team.
I am 59 years old and a widow since 4 years. I have 2 sons and a granddaughter of 6, whom all live with me. We live in the East of the Netherlands nearby the German border. 

I been doing arts and crafts all my life and followed all kinds of training and courses of paper techniques, and colouring. 

I have been teaching for over 20 years in a cultural center, but since my granddaughter has lived in my house, I stopped teaching. Since then I do all kinds of fun hobby things at home, including the My Besties coordination. I also work in the main team of Sherri in the USA and there I was one of the first Dt members.

Nans - Our guest from Belgium

Good Morning everyone and welcome back to the Besties UK Blog we are pleased to give a very warm welcome to Nans from Belgium ....

Hello everyone,

My name is Nans and I am on the "My Besties Dutch Girls" Design team for almost a year now. I still enjoy it so much because you never get bored with the lovely images of Sherri Baldy. For every occasion you can find something in the shop.



I live in a small town in Belgium together with my husband and 2 children. I work 3 days a week at the HR department of a SME. 
I started crafting several years ago. At first I used images in 3D, then I started colouring stamps with pencils and now I switched to colouring with Copics. Unfortunately time flies, but every free moment I spend in my hobbyroom.




I also design for Joy!Crafts and Hobbyhome Hobbyartikelen. If you want to see more of my creations please feel free to visit my blog HERE.




Thank you My Besties UK for letting me share some of my creations here on your blog.

Hugs,
Nans x

Jolanda - Our Guest from the Netherlands ....

Good Morning  and welcome back to the Besties UK blog ..... we are pleased to give a very warm welcome to our visitor from the Netherlands Jolanda ......


Hello Besties fans,

My name is Jolanda and I’m 39 years old. I live in the South of the Netherlands in a small town called Horn. I’m married to Andy and we have a dog called Baloe. He turned 12 this year and he is such a lovely dog! He’s still very active and I love to go for a walk with him…


I’m proud to be a Dutch Besties Girl and I joined this fabulous team from the beginning, almost a year ago now!
Years ago I started making cards, but since 2011 I discovered the World of stamps. I started colouring with pencils and 2 years ago with alcohol markers. Sometimes I colour with distress ink, so I like to experiment with different mediums & techniques.
A year ago I started mixed media projects and Art Journaling. Also love decorating our home…so I’m never bored;0)
I made new friends in the crafting world through blogging and I’m so thankful for that, they coloured my life and give me inspiration…

Some of my cards...


 my first card for the Dutch Besties team:0)








and my latest...   mixed media












A big hug from the Netherlands
xx Jolanda
