CTMH Accordion Fold Paper Ornaments

Ok, I should be better about updates, and I am working on that.    I have been wanting to try making one of these for a while, but they just seemed too complicated.  Well, Guess What?  They really are not.    I used  3 strips of the new CTMH Wings paper and 4 (1 inch) paper circles, punched from the same paper.   One of the things I love about our paper....it is 2-sided.  So...this is only 1 sheet of paper.    The large circle is made with 2 pieces of 3 x 12 paper,   repeatedly scored every 1/2 inch the entire length of both pieces.    The small circle is made with one, 1x12 sheet of paper, scored repeatedly every 1/4  inch.  Of course, because I love Stars....I had to add one in the center.  All edges were rubbed with Cocoa ink and Stardust Glitz for sparkle.

Halloween Fun!

Logan was so excited about these adorable cards that she has made for her friends.  I'm the luckiest Mom ever because I get to have Franky as my new bookmark.  She is 9 and I am continually amazed by how quickly she gets an idea and finishes a project.

Happy Halloween!
