Something New For Me

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a good Wednesday! Last night I was having a fun time, jumping around to all the blogs I enjoy visiting. I had stopped at Lynda's blog where she posted a really neat link to a video tutorial on a card called "joy-fold." I watched the video and just HAD to try it! Now I know most of you have probably done this, or something similar (tri-fold) but I have never made one before. Of course it took me most of the night to finish, but it was so fun! Ya know that feeling, when you've gotten inspiration from somewhere, and you start pulling all the pieces together, and ya just get so excited?! Well, that's how it was for me! Sorry, I'll stop blabbering and show you the card now!


The little circle with the sentiment, holds down the folds.










Isn't that cool! I just love it! I've seen similar cards, like the tri-fold ones, from some of you ladies in the Flickr pool, but I didn't know how fun they were to create!! Why didn't anyone tell me that?! (just kidding!) All the paper used on the card is from a stack from S.E.I. called Aunt Gerti's Garden. It has lots of fun patterns in many of my favorite colors! I stamped the Hero Arts Hydrangea with ColorBox Orchid Pastel chalk ink, onto a scalloped circle Nestie. The Sentiment is also from Hero Arts.

So, if you happen to be like me, and have never tried one of these cards before, hop on over to Lynda's blog and click on the link! I'm tellin' ya, you're gonna love it! I want to thank Lynda for the link and for a wonderful blog that I love visiting for inspiration! I love looking at her photostream too.....take a look here. She has some beautiful creations! Have a warm and happy day! :)
