Happy Birthday to my *baby*, Chrissy!

Today's also the day that the Ready, Set, Go! Challenge cards are posted
The R, S, G challenge isn't an ordinary card challenge - it's out of the box!
We think of ways to REALLY stretch our creative minds,
and this month, Barb chose a theme of: Fancy Folds.
I made a fancy tent :)
I went with a tent fold style card because this card is for my daughter.
It's a super fun and a fairly easy fold and props upward as a keepsake
yet folds flat into an A2 size envelope.
Brilliant!
The rest of the card was die cutting the heart shapes with an MFT die,
stamping and die cutting the Cool Day bear, and
fastening it to a card base.
Super quick coloring with my prismacolor markers and then it just assembly.
