The inside of this card is the best part! It’s so much fun creating little scenes to fill the squares. This card may be a little thick for mailing, but it’s worth the surprise when you open it up.

Video

Please watch my video showing how to make this card and another version made in the horizontal direction.

My Texas kids are here for 10 days and we have been having the best time going to the Iowa State Fair, playing Euchre and other games, mini golfing, eating, laughing, and more. We had a great time having a fire pit until many of us woke up the next day covered in no-see-um bites. I may never go outside after dusk again. If you’ve never had these you may not realize how painful they can be.

There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be All Creatures Great and Small.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

The Online Exclusive DSP- Flowering Zinnias is so pretty and useful for many occasions.

Steve and I were thrilled with the results of the Olympic All Around Women’s Gymnastics competition. Yea, Simone & Suni!! It makes my heart so happy to watch these beautiful gymnasts compete! We have a couple more days of gymnastics to savor!

This week’s Festive Friday Design Team’s challenge #FF0165 is the State Fair. I competed many times at the State Fair during my nine years of 4-H. I learned so much participating in 4-H including baking, furniture refinishing, sewing, giving presentations, showing steers, record keeping etc. My last year of 4-H when I was a senior in high school, I won the county fair queen contest and represented Muscatine County at the State Fair. I did not win at the State Fair, but it was a great experience!

My kids have always loved the food at the State Fair. The bucket of chocolate chip cookies is one of their favorites!

When my kids were growing up they did lots of baking to enter at the State Fair. Even my husband, Steve, entered his fudge at the State Fair for many years and always got 2nd! I believe your fudge deserves a blue ribbon, Steve! 🙂

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about the State Fair-at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used bright colors, ribbon, interactive card, and congratulations sentiment.
