Mail Chimp and Me

I am trying to navigate using another email subscription company for my blog posts. Hopefully you will receive this email twice. You do not need to let me know if you received two, I'll already know because I subscribe to my own blog.

Please be patient with me as I don't know how a new blog post will be generated.

Have a great Monday!

Flower & Field Tri Fold Shutter Card

I was inspired to create this card after viewing THIS YouTube video.  I have listed my measurements below.  I did find an error in one measurement stated in the video.

This card is not for the faint at heart.  I, preferring continuity of the pattern paper, made this difficult to make.  At least it was a free Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper because of my mistakes that ended up in File #13.  You DEFINITELY need to make up a sample before attempting this.
