Hey ya'll! How is it going? I hope great! Have you crafted lately? I made a few holiday cards last night. I wanted to share for the Moxie Fab World challenges, but none seem to really fit the challenge, so I decided not to share those just yet. I will have to make some new cards for the challenges. So, here is a card I submitted for Paper Crafts March/April issue that did not get picked up. It's kind of shabby, but I like it! I used a fabric strip to create the pleated background.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Friday Eve!

I really like this card! The fabric with the pleating as a background is very awesome! I love the leaves too, and thinking about it, I dunn think I could pull of a card like that! Not shabby at all BTW! Yes, I finally stole some time to stamp today, should be studying or reading, something related to school!

Ok... it's really hard to believe this gorgeous card didn't get picked up! It's so good!
so pretty, and loaded with texture!
HI! I've checked out your blog and I love your creations! Thank you for those wonderful ideas. God bless!
Very Nice! I love the pleated fabric! Yes, I have been crafting, but there just isn't enough hours in the day! :)
That is really cute! I'm surprised it didn't get picked up, too. I love that mag, but sometimes I wonder how they're picking the cards to go in. This one is great -- I love the use of the fabric.
What a great idea to incorporate fabric in your cards. Love the pleating and sewing.
Wonderful card!
Hugs and smiles
Oh, this is fab!
I wonder why this one wouldn't get picked up....? Maybe it's too fallish for MAR/APR or something. But I love it - - and I love the use of fabric too. I have a bucket near my craft table - - need to try this pleated thing you've got goin' on. Thanks for sharing this pretty pretty card.
But it's the "shabbiness" that makes it work, in my opinion. Happy fall card!! :)
I would have picked up this card Ashley...I love it! The pleating is gorgeous, thanks for the inspirations! Love Kate xxx
