Good morning everyone! It's official...I'm the parent of a teenager! YIKES! How scary is that? I took him to IHOP for birthday breakfast this morning...we had fun. He has been asking me what we were getting him and I always say underwear, so I made a stop on my errand run this morning and picked up a couple of packages of boxers for his gift bag. I couldn't lie, could I? LOL! He'll be sooooo excited. One can never have too pairs of undies anyway! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKE!!!
Now, on to my card. I made this one for the challenge over at The Beary Sweet Challenge for The Beary Scrap. Fancy Folds is the name of the game. I made my very first joy fold card...how fun! I really want to try (at some point) a swing card or flip flop card, I've heard them called...the instructions at SCS sounded confusing, so I passed it up. {If any of you know of another place that has directions to make it, please let me know.} On my card I used a brand new image from Wink Wink Ink called Hanging Out. There is a boy and a girl version (b&w AND colored) along with sentiments...too stinking cute!!! Be sure to get on over there to the STORE and buy yours today!
I hope you can see the dimension. I printed two copies and colored and popped up her head and arms to make it look like they are really sticking out through the tire. :O) I love the effect. I used some jute for the rope and I sprayed the Prima flower with Smooch Spritz to give it a little bling. Not bad for my first attempt at this type of card, I think! Have a wonderful day!!!

Hi Lelia! Hahaha - Jake would die if he knew about this post! This card turned out great. I've been thinking of trying the joy fold, too - I love how you did yours (how the top part flips up rather than left or right). Very cool!
This image is absolutely hysterical! I remember that bored mid-summer feeling...
Thanks for joining our Beary Sweet Challenge - good luck!
