Happy Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras, French for "Fat Tuesday," is a traditional Christian holiday that marks the day before the start of Lent, a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter Sunday. It is celebrated with parades, parties, and festivities in many countries around the world, but is most famously associated with the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Mardi Gras is known for its colorful costumes, elaborate masks, and vibrant street celebrations, which include music, dancing, and the tossing of beads and other trinkets to parade-goers. The holiday is a time for fun and feasting before the solemnity of Lent begins, making it a joyous and festive occasion for people of all ages to come together and celebrate.

Although the city of New Orleans is most famous for its Mardi Gras celebrations, our area in Southeast Texas has its own Mardi Gras celebrations.

This past weekend, we attended a parade and a dance and had so much fun with our family.

Have a great Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras)!

Are you someone who meticulously scores your card bases before folding them, or do you skip this step altogether? It's a question that many cardmakers ponder, and today, we're going to take a look to see if scoring really matters.

Curious about the assembly process? Let's take a look at the recording of the video tutorial linked below. You'll be guided through each step, making this seemingly complex fold an enjoyable and achievable crafting adventure.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Card base is cut 8" x 5 1/2" and scored at 2", 4", and 6".
