Facebook Live - 12/13/23 - Meandering Meadows Fun Fold

This is a great fun fold for those beautiful Designer Series Paper with scenes.  I found this fun fold on Mary Knabe's blog and she got the idea from Sharon Armstrong.  I made a couple of winter/Christmas cards using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP.   And on Facebook Live I used the Meandering Meadow DSP. Both of these papers are part of the Online Exclusives.
