I'm bummed...

I had made arrangements to meet someone today at CHA but unfortunately I had to cancel.  I woke up to one of my dogs being sick - ughhh - Yes, it's better than having a sick child right before we leave for vacation but my dogs are my furry kids.  So, while I wait to hear back from the Vet, I'm coloring, great stress reducer.  I hope making this card is not like a foreshadowing.  I know it's a cat card but I'm getting paranoid!


They have a tutorial you can watch in the challenge so you can learn how to make a Joy Fold card.  I'd never heard of it before so I had to watch and being paper folding challenged...I may have had to watch it again.  My ribbon is not adhered in the middle so that the flap with the cat can be tucked in.  They are cool cards, if you have never done one you should give it a try.
