One of the cards I got done was a birthday card for one of my nieces. Her birthday is coming up in July and she's a fan of pink and purple and fun girly bright pastels. So, after checking out some challenges, inspiration hit and this is what I made...
My first card with an interesting fold! Card Pattern Sketch #119 and the accordion fold challenge at Scrapalicious combined in my head and I knew exactly what I wanted to do! The card actually looks better than I expected for my first try at lining up everything so it works both closed and open. Cardstock is 
Colorbok textured pastels, sprinkles papers in pink and white are digis from Summertime Designs, and the solids and striped/swirled dps are all from a ProvoCraft Slab. [As a side note, I'd wondered how long I'd had this paper so I did some googling, and it looks like 2004 or 2005 at the absolute latest. Scary how much time can go by without you really noticing!] Nesties, a Heather Ellis digi stamp - such a cutie! - a little gloss on the cherry, some Sizzix'ed letters and a few little epoxy sticker dots and ta-da!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
This weekend was so much fun! My carpet's rather hairy, there's dust on every shelf, but my soul is bright and cheery today, so it was definitely worth it. And I get to actually show these projects to my mom tonight in person! =)
So, see you all soon... til then, Happy Crafting! =)
