Thanks to Polly's idea I've found a way to participate, I was born in Holland and lived there 18 years before moving to France, I've made an easel card using several 3d decoupage sheets from my Aunt to make it a collage with mill, cheese, delft's blauw, tulips, architectural houses Dutch colors, I've found some old postcards (194 and wrote on the back for the kids, the cards are from my birthplace

another fabulous card. This easel card is awesome. Love the bright colors and all the elements, especially the windmill and the Dutch kids kissing... that is a famous scene... LOL

How fun....and you made one of your signature fancy fold cards. I love all the things you've included that symbolize Holland. Those postcards look a bit vintage...haha...I'm sure they'll love hearing about your country!

What a fabulous montage from your homeland. I looked and noticed every element before I read you write-up and I love how you pieced this all together. I think you hit on every iconic emblem I associate with Holland -- especially the cheese, I love the cheese! Adding those postcards will give the kids a great glimpse of Holland. Fantastic card, Anita.

Dutch cheese is good too, and I see Jean has mentioned Wisconsin cheeses too. I do like your windmill and tulips. I've had a crazy week and haven't got upstairs yet :-(.
