Friday Challenge > Gatefold

Outside naturally....





and the inside ....


Today's challenge at notimetostamp is #109 gatefold...can be one that meets in the middle or off center which just like me, mine is. Hey...I'm not always willing to meet somewhere in the middle unless, I'm in a really good mood . This little image is from Crafty Secrets cotton scraps and isn't she adorable? I sure think so. I have a niece who is in her 50's now and still to this day is called Punkin by everyone and I think she would love this little cutie. She's not like a Jack O Latern though, you know scary looking with no guts...heck no she's fiesty and fun. Guess that's why we get along so well. So this is an easy peasy card because I took the Nestie's out and one two three, a couple of cuts, some gluing , add a bit of DP by K & Company, a few blingers, and done. My phrase is from Inkadinkado. My card has a fold score at 4 1/2 " and again at 4 1/2"and the whole measurement is 10 1/2" across which leaves my little fold over at 1 1/2". I attached my Nestied image on the small flap and it's attached with a pop dot because I couldn't find my velcro stuff. Bad me...yep I know it. I love Halloween and the fun the little kiddo's bring to my front door.



Hey I'm in Big Sky now and ready for a hoe down...just gotta find the right cowboy and I'm in business. I feel a 10 gallon hat is definetly in order and perhaps some real authentic cowboy boots! I'm ready to ride the range, and do a bit of square dancing. Hope you have a great Wahoo weekend too.

Mt Big Sky Blue was shining clear just for your visit, Pat! Now, seems you have brought some rain which is so desperately needed. Great gatefold with scoring deets! Hug your GS and GD twice morning and night as you walk the island loop 'cause you are each so very special.
Keep Looking UP!

Love your card (and your sense of humor), Pat! I so wimped out on the gatefold thing.. I sat down to give it a try but just couldn't think that hard. It's getting more difficult by the day!
Hope you're having a great time!!
