With love tri-fold card

Man how fast did last week go! I have been doing quite abit of stamping but I can't show you any of it just yet! But I can show you this tri-fold card I made for my first project over at UStamp! There are some fantastic projects this round so I need to get stamping! I am way behind!

I am hosting the UStamp card swap in New Zealand and I must say it fantastic to get packets of cards in the post rather than just bills.lol. I am participating in the swap also so I have been busy making all my cards! I will show you my cards when I know they have been received. Just in case some UStamp swappers check out my blog, I don't want to spoil their surprise!

Thanks for stopping by!

And I'm off to a great start I've done 1 out of the 3 that have been posted! not bad for me. he he!

Mojo Monday # 121

Hi all!!! I thought it was about time to update my poor blog.lol. It feels like forever since I did a Mojo Monday sketch and I know its Friday today, but I had some spare time so off to my craft room I went! Better late that never I say.he he! I was following the sketch when I started but then as my card started to progress it changed slightly but hey you get that!.lol. I hadn't inked up animal stories since I got it and thought it was about time I did. I used Windsor knot DSP and the card stock to match. And I found some sage Shadow ribbon in my stash from last year which went perfectly. If you have the time make sure you check out all the other entries here!

Thanks for stopping by;-)
