OCC Challenge-Fancy Folds

Here's my card for this week's challange over at Our Creative Corner--Fancy Folds  There is tons of inspiration by OCC's design team HERE and they link you right up to several different styles of folded cards, tutorials and all!  There are also many many more over at SCS, which is where I found a nice, simple tutorial for my Gatefold card with Score-Pal by Beate. So I hope you are as inspired as I was to join in this challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

A Little OCC Sketch Challenge

Hellooo! Today I'm sharing my card for this week's Our Creative Corner challenge, which is a fabulous little sketch designed by the even more fabulous Laurie Schmidlin. There is still plenty of time to join in the fun and post a link of your creation at the OCC for everyone to enjoy! I inked up my Gina K. set called My Cuppa Joe, illustrated by one of my idols, Rupa Shevde (I adore that lady!)

Thanks for stoppin' by my blog and have a most awesome day!! xoxo

I made this card for 2 challenges. SCS's Technique Lover's Challenge to do a speckled background....hey, I tried! lol! It doesn't show up here, but I did get a nice effect on the card. I also played along in this weeks Our Creative Corner challenge to make something with a snowman or snowflakes or both! I just love this darling snowfamily from Cornish Heritage Farms. Thanks for visiting me! hugs and happy creating!
