Good morning all this is the first of two posts today so if your looking for my Crafty Calendar Challenge card you will find it HERE.
I would firstly like to apologise for lack of posts in the last few weeks but I am struggling with some health issue's. One of them is constant pins and needles in my hands with holding pens, scissors etc becoming a problem and therefore everything taking a lot longer to make but adding to that I have constant pain in my back and leg and struggling with that too.
Anyhow onto today, it's time for a new challenge at My Time To Craft and this week the challenge is 'Gate Folded' cards. I haven't made a gatefold card in ages. I kind of made my card inside out as I used a large sentiment on the front and placed an image on the inside for a change.
I used a sheet of the heavy 12" x 12" bazzill card stock cut down to 6" x 12" then scored at 3" and 9". I really scored it well but because it is the heavy weight card I couldn't get it to stay completely shut whilst I took the photo so have to place a bottle's on the top and bottom to hold it so please ignore those. I kept the front quite simple with the focus on the sentiment which was a freebie from Create With TLC.
For the inside I created this little scene with a set of stamps I have had for ages but I have no idea where they came from, I think they could have been a freebie looking at the packaging.
