Hope that every one is well and that my State side friends weren't effected too badly by the storm system that hit so many of the States!!
I'm here today to show you a card that I made for a very dear friend...we don't see each other as often as we'd like but when we get together it's like we see each other all the time...lol!!!
I chose to make a card style that I have never done before but saw over on the Totally Tilda blog...inspiration for the "Joy Fold" card done by Stephanie, Brigitte and Dawn!! I was so intrigued that I just had to try this one out!!!
Here is my version of a "Joy Fold" card...

this is "Aquarius Tilda"...
