February GDT - Rainny

Hello, my name is Rainny, and I live in Taiwan.

It's my pleasure to be the guest designer.

I've been a secretary in a small company for 17 years.

I got married seven years ago and we have a puppy daughter, Riceball.

When I was a university student, I started making handmade cards.

This was really a long time ago. lol  

In recent years, I love scrapbooking.

I like to record life and treasured memories by scrapbooking.

It always brings me many memories and touches.

If you want to see more of my works, you can watch my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rainny0127/
