Happy Friday!! I hope you've enjoyed the week long Technique Junkie blog hop! Various members of the Junkie team have been joining up with some of our vendor companies, sharing inspiration from the 3D and Fun Folds CD! If you are first learning about the hop today, check out this post for all the details!
Today, we are teaming up the fantastic team at Sweet N Sassy Stamps! I've been in love with Every Day Miracles from the minute I saw it! I thought it would be the perfect compliment to the Map Fold Card technique.......(I'm about to show you...)
I really wish you could all just hop through cyber space and see this in real life. It was a little hard to get the full flavor of the card with my camera. My designer paper is actually an old world map. I tried to scatter the butterflies around the map......is that corny?
Anyway, I kept the card basically neutrual except for the splashes of color offered by the butterflies. It really pops in real life--trust!
The Map Fold Card intruigued me the minute I saw it on the 3D and Fun Folds index. The tutorial includes a wonderful folding schematic--it is fail proof!! Give it ago!
You should have started the hop over at the TJ Blog. If not, make sure to go back so as not to miss a thing!

TTFN, Jane

This fold looks like it is a variation on the explosion fold which is one of my all time favorite folds. Like the way you incorporated the map inside for the map fold.
