Oma (Grandma)

I lost my mojo for making LO's a bit...
This is my first LO since July and I'm not to happy about it. But than again, I started, so that's something.
This is my Grandma, on her birthday, a year before she past away.
I used the awesome Swirlydoos November kit and the design is by Begahuna.

Thanks for looking..

As some of you might know, I'm a huge Tim Holtz fan!

On his site he added some photo's of the most awesome workshop he thought in Scotsdale.
