DIY - birthday card!

It's been a while ago that I wanted to make a personal birthday card for a friend. This was the result. I was quite happy with it, and it's so easy to make!

What you need:
- magazines
- thick paper in a color you like
- twine
- glitter, sequins, or other stuff to pimp up your card

I cut out a balloon shape of the thick paper, then I searched for a nice page in the magazine that I wanted to use. I used a page about lipgloss. I cut out the same balloon shape out of the page. I glued the two balloons together (so you'll also need glue and scissors of course), with a bit of bakers twine in between. Then I pimped the card and made it really special by glueing neon glitter alongside the lines of the products on the photo and I glued some sequins on the card. On the back of the card I wrote a birthday greeting!

Breda

Yesterday I met my dear friend Inge in Breda for lunch. She lives near Eindhoven, while I live in Rotterdam, so Breda is sort of in the middle. On the internet I found a place for lunch called Stilleven. It was really cosy! At Stilleven you can have lunch, or a coffee with pie, but you can also buy accessories for the home. At the back they have a cute little courtyard, where we sat outside in the sun (and later in the rain...).

We both had a sandwich & some mint tea, both were nice. We also had something sweet. I had a piece of pistache-mango pie and Inge had a brownie. I didn't like the pie that much, and neither the brownie (I had a little bite of Inge's brownie). So I wouldn't advise to go for the sweet stuff. I must admit thoughtthat I'm not much of a 'sweet' person anyway, so maybe it's just me.
