Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! Are you getting ready for the weekend? I was finally able to get outside and do some weeding and dead heading to my flowers yesterday. I spent about 5 hours outside and only made a small dent. I decided it was time to call it quits when it was 85 with a real feel of 100, and it was going up to over 90. This morning I’m heading out really early again to do the same in my backyard gardens. It’s supposed to be in the upper 90’s today. Hopefully I won’t be out there as long.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? Yesterday was our quarterly team meeting where we did some stamping together. The presenters did an amazing job making the cards and demoing how to make them.

My card for today is one that Judi Hartbarger designed and demonstrated for us. Judi is from Tennessee and has become a good friend of mine. After she was done creating this beautiful card with us, she showed us another one she made with different DSP. Here’s my card for today.
