Bandstand Fun Fold

This week on my Sunday Live, I created the Bandstand Fun Fold.  This fold was inspired by my friend Dawn Griffith. What I love about the Bandstand Fun Fold, is that it is a versatile fold. It  can be used with any bundle or designer paper.

It had not used the Delicate Dreams Designer Paper that much, due to it’s popularity.  This stunning paper was the perfect touch to my Mother’s Day Tribute.The flower is from Boutique Blossoms, and the sentiment is from Paradise Garden.

Simple Template with All Aflutter

This week on Template Thursday I have another Simple Template with All Aflutter Bundle.  It is my hope to inspire you each Thursday with 1 Template 2 ways for 2 looks.  Anytime I get stuck I love to look at my previous templates to get the inspiration.  I try to keep my templates versatile to where you can bring in any stamp set, bundle, or designer paper.  Since the May-August 2026 Catalog launched this week, I knew I had to kick it off using one my absolute favorite bundles- All Aflutter Bundle.  If you know me, you know anytime I can get my hands on a Butterfly or Sloth Set I am going to do so.

Funny Story…. In my samples, I thought I had chosen my patterns from the Beautiful Ordinary. I inadvertently used the Mixed Up Patterns.
