It's a great hop going on with the Joy's Life team!  By now, you've seen many different card folds and creative ways to  use them.  Isn't this team something?  Since I'm the last person on the hop, I won't bore you with the whole hop order.  If you happened to stumble across my blog, and would like to participate in the whole thing, start here, at Joy's Life blog.

This image comes from the "My Hero" stamp set, found in the Joy's Life Store.  It's a great set -- one of my favorites.

 

The designer papers are from MME Stella & Rose (6x6 pad).  Bling is all Close To My Heart.
