Oh My!! It's time for another hop. This one will be a
bit "mad" in honor of March Madness!

and I know you enjoyed her projects. If you would like to

This Hop theme was Fancy Folds & Madness. I will say that
I AM NOT a fancy fold kind of girl. I prefer clean and
SIMPLE cards, meaning I don't get tangled up in folds.
So for this Hop, I did 2 cards that involve "minor folding".
The first card is a pocket card, that I have turned upside down.
The materials for this card just worked better in that orientation.
This card uses the From the Garden set (p 20 in the Occasions)
and coordinating Hand Picked Framelits. The card base is
textured with the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder (p19)
and decorated with Sweet Taffy DSP (p 186) .
I used the sentiment from World of Dreams (p 127).
My next Fancy Fold is really a very straight forward step card, made out of a 4x11 piece of card stock,
scored at 4 inches from one and, 1 1/2 and 3 inches
from the other. It stands up easily on it's own.
The sentiment from Label Love (p 14 in the regular catty),
is cut out with the Artisan Label punch (p 221).
Hearts were punched out of Brushed Gold Card Stock
with the Itty Bitty punch set (p 222) and Sweetheart punch.
with the Itty Bitty punch set (p 222) and Sweetheart punch.
Accessories include Antique Brad, Gold Satin Ribbon,
and Lullaby DSP.
And now for the MADNESS.
If you are uncomfortable with clowns, you may want
scroll past this one!!
This crazy clown/scarecrow started off as something else,
and then took a downhill turn. It kind of captures my face,
when I'm watching football and the Packers are doing poorly.
I used Birthday Bash Washi Sheets (p11 in Occasions) to
wrap the Circle Treat Cup and neck ruffle. I crumpled some
aluminum foil and then wrapped Simply Pressed Clay (p 208)
around the ball. I cut out several layers with the
Starburst Framelits (p231) and circle punches. The large
ruffle was made out of Back to Black DSP, scored on
the Simply Scored (p 214).
