Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it has been two weeks tomorrow since my last post...

Well I have found myself a bit uninspired lately and between potty-training and life in general, 

I took a little break. 

So I did keep busy, I was just being LAZY when it came to taking pics and writing. I really need to change that because, I really did start to "Miss my Blog Family". 

I did come up with this tri-fold card, I had to walk away from it because,I didn't like were it was going,but in the end,I think it came out okay. I used some paper scraps and an old SU! Simply Scrappin' Kit and was glad to put it to use.

Hoot Hoot to You!!

Today's inspiration came from my June 2011 Stampin' Success Magazine.

It's a magazine SU! Demonstrators receive to 

INSPIRE us to CREATE so we can SHARE with others.

A fellow demonstrator Doris Denman's card just wowed me.

So I decided to take the plunge and try it out for myself.

So here is my take of a tri-fold shutter card.

I started with SU! Chocolate Chip as my base card stock 

and added DSP from a Paper Pack,

I had in my closet that I never used.

and decided this was the perfect opportunity.

Instead of covering all the sections with DSP, 

I choose to use Punches and Stamps

 I think it adds a lot of dimension and is a fun way 

to showcase a lot of different ways to decorate a card all in one place.

Here is my Tutorial for a Tri-fold shutter card,

I actually got the idea from my June 2011 Stampin' Success Magazine.

A fellow demonstrator Doris Denman's card just wowed me.

I had never seen one of these cards and after, I googled it, Boy did I feel like I was in the dark and oh the possibilities it is such a versatile card that can be used for any occasion.

I hope this tutorial is helpful and inspires you to create something fabulous.

So without further ado...
