So Excited!!!!

Hello Peeps!

This past weekend was super fun!  Island Scrapbooking in Hilo celebrated their 10th Anniversary with a big sale, prizes, make 'n take by Jenny, release of 2 new product lines (Yumi and Fumi - woo-hoo, and Elephant Mama), cake, AND a birthday card contest.   So I decided to give it a shot and make a card.   While trying to "think outside the box" I came up with this Bendi Fold card.   Here's the link to the tutorial:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bendifold/

Can you believe I worked on this card for 5 days??????  Yup, no kidding.  LOL.   But it was so worth the time because I'm so excited....I won.   Jump for joy...yay!!!! 

This card has 3 parts, the background piece, left flap, and right flap.  The left flap has a tab that is inserted into a slit on the background piece.  The right and foremost flap has a tab that is inserted into the left flap.  

The darling cutie is "Miyoko" by Sister Stamps.   I paper-pieced her kimono with washi paper.  Oh, I just adore her sweet and innocent pose.

Here's a pix with the front flap opened......

Here's a pix with both flaps opened...

Here's a view from the top......

Here's a pix of the scrapbooking bag I won that was filled with LOTS OF CRAFTY GOODIES.....

And here are the goodies.....

And here's a pix of the pumpkin make 'n take Jenny did.   Cool huh?
