Happy Monday!! I have to admit that I'm actually a fan of Mondays. The kids are back in school, the house has returned to some semblence of normality and I can finally get some down time :)
This past weekend was a very busy one. Saturday started off with an early wake up call from a very talkative 6yr old (I don't know where he gets it from!! :P ) He was excited about going to see Alvin & the Chipmunks. After last week's disappointment with it being sold out I pre-booked the tickets this week AND I invited his 2 cousins along. The movie was hilarious and they all had a fun time!!
Yesterday I travelled to Galway. Finally... after the floods, the weeks of sub zero temps and everything else Mother Nature threw at us I got to do my mini book class.... phew!! It was a long day but I totally enjoyed it. Pics to follow ;)
Sorry for waffling... onto the topic at hand.....
This week on Crafty Angels Laura has set us a challenge of Paperfolding. No pre-creased card allowed, we've got to make our own shaped card. So on to Splitcoast I went... and this is what I decided to make. A Joy Fold card.
Such a simple, yet wonderful idea. The instructions are HERE
I used BG Bittersweet papers with some pink and some brown card. My image is a very cute Valentine Tilda from my Winter Kit. She has been coloured using distress inks (my poor copics are feeling very neglected lately!). I distressed the background with Tattered Rose and edged all of my papers with Vintage Photo. The sentiment inside reads 'Sealed with a Loving Kiss'. The ribbon, placed slightly overlapping the top layer, keeps it all closed together and there is no need to open the ribbon, just slide is down a little.
This is also my entry for

Magnolia-licious Highlights (Pretty in Pink)
and ANOTHER entry for Papertake Weekly's Challenge (Pretty Pink Paptertake. I'm seriously thinking that I use too much pink!... NAH!! How could you have too much pink in your life??!! lol

Hi Sandie,
gorgeous card, what a great idea, doing the joy fold from top to bottom, I've only ever done it from side to side, think I prefer it this way. Beautifully coloued Tilda and fabulous details.
