The Unusual Challenge

Whoa!! I totally forgot to post my challenge! I have been so distracted with Lindsey's birthday party and Christmas stuff. I still have to do some more cleaning and go grocery shopping this afternoon.  Yikes!  Why do I wait to the last minute??!!

This past week the challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle was to do something unusual.  Meaning, anything other than a square card.  I did a frame.  I am also using the Caroling Trio image.
Thanks for looking a have a fantastic week!!  I am hoping for snow soon!

SND: Fabulous Folds

I am back to my DT work! So glad I am back. Need to get some Christmas cards done and my DT work helps me get stuff done.   This week with Stamp-n-Doodle is a Fabulous Folds theme.  Make a card using a special fold.  The fold I am using is called a Joy-fold card.  I found a card on Pinterest using this fold.  It is from Anne of Stampin' Ann.    She gives the link to how to make the card.
