Here are some pictures from our South Dakota Mother and Young Mother of the Year trip to Washington, D.C. My daughter, Elizabeth and I were honored to be representing our state at this conference.

I used an 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock cut in half lengthwise at 4 1/4" so you can get two cards out of one sheet. The Decorative Label punch punches out the bottom of the "screen". My card base is Pistachio Pudding, scored every 2.75" the long way, with 2.5" x 3.25" Baked Brown…
Tooting my own horn! I have the awesome honor of being 2015 South Dakota Mother of the Year and will be in Washington D.C. next week competing for National Mother of the Year. We are to make or give something to the other state honorees that represents our state at little or no cost to…

This is a Z Fold card. See the Z shape? The talented Deb Valder has a video showing how to do these cards. (below) This is not a quick and simple card. It could be with more stamping and less snipping or coloring though. I used From the Herd stamp set for both cards, except…
