Today's Ramblings: Good morning. What a beautiful sun-shiney weekend we had. We did a lot of yard work, brought in top soil and finished the flower bed renos. I also bought two gorgeous flower baskets to put on the front step. Now if only that wind would die down.
I made another Christmas card - gotta keep going if I plan to finish 5 a month. This is Christmas card #2 of May.
I made a "Joy Fold Card." Helen at ABC Christmas Challenge has a great and easy tutorial and I thought, boy - I really need to see if I can do this. And I did!
And here is the inside:
And it's as thick as a book:
Card Ingredients:StampFairy digi; DCWV papers; Recollections cardstock; Copics; Gelly Roll white pen; Martha Stewart Mica tinsel glitter; Circle and Beaded Circle Nesties; Dress It Up buttons.
I made Santa Lenny for the following Christmas challenges:
- ABC Christmas Challenge - make a Joy Fold card
- Bah! Humbug! - Snowflakes
- Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Stitching
- jingle belles - Santa (I hope Santa Lenny will work)
- Christmas Cards All Year 'Round - use May's sketch:
I hope you all have a great to start to your week and I will see you all again on Wednesday.

An incredible work of art Deanne! Lenny looks adorble in his Santa outfit, and the candy cane looks like a sleigh. I love the folding, and the inside of the card as well. Amazing!!!!!

Love those fancy folds ... a very cute little "Santa" too ... thanks for joining us at jingle belles.
There's nothing better than a big ol' fat card with lots of layers!! Your card is beautiful and that red stitching is out of this world! Thanks so much for playing along with our stitch challenge over at "Christmas Stampin All Year Long"!
How sweet is this? Your image is adorable, and h=the "fur" trim on his outfit is fabulous. Add in the wonderful layers and perfect stitching…YUM!
Brilliant card Deanne, love that fold technique, will have to give that one a go, it look really effective. Love all your colours and the stitching is fabulous, really sets the card off.
