New Monthly Challenge and a Masculine Valentines!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the blog. It’s a Fun Friday and I have soooo much to share  with you today so let’s get going! Can you believe it’s February already??? I can’t… but with that comes a NEW monthly challenge! We’ve titled this Love & Lace and you can find more details about the theme, as well as prizes and entry dates, HERE.

The technique of the month is fun folds. You can create any type of  fold you want for this challenge. I have kept mine simple by creating an offset gate fold by using layering papers as my base. I wanted to create a masculine Valentines for my hubby… plus I couldn’t wait to show off our new papers.

Here’s a quick how-to video!

The background pattern reminds me of a necktie! :o)
