I have a passion for doing shaped cards and this weeks TSC was to use green card and make an out of the ordinary shape, this is a gate fold shape but instead of cutting a strip off the length of the card I drew around the flap of an envelope first then cut the card and add a nestability shape I used the circle eyelet and the circle. I used the CandleGlowFlower "Jesus light of the world" digital image I also used some digital tickets from misscutiepie that I picked up yesterday from freedigistamps.blogspot, my base card is green and I was missing a border so I added some stars at the bottom of the card to make a border I hope that counts hehe! Ooops I forgot to say I used a gold snowflake brad to tuck the eyelet circle under to keep the card closed. Thanks for looking.

Oh MY, Christina, this card is positively AMAZING!! No wonder we haven't seen much of you this week - You have been working on this wonderful card!! I have never seen a card done with a fold like this and your choice of that digital image is nothing less than PERFECT! The coloring , the papers, and the star border, the digi "tickets" with the touch of Green, and thr snowflake "closure" - You thought of EVERYTHING!!
I am so touched with this card you have crafted this week to celebrate with me. Thank you for all you sweet words of encouragement and friendship - You are a blessing in my life!!
