ReplyDeleteI have been trying to try a few interesting cards with cool techniques. Will you be posting photos of all the cards people come up with (maybe you said this somewhere but I missed it)? This also sounds like a great Blog Hop idea.
ReplyDeleteTY for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Janis! I agree with Tuttle Time, this would make a great blog hop theme!!! I'm researching another fold that I'm gonna try to do. I've got a sketch, but no measurements for it. Don't know where I got the sketch from. When I find measurements, I'll make something and post it. I'm with Sheree, this is fun fun fun!!!! :)
