Positive note of the day: Thank gawd I fell asleep early last night. My Windows box did a re-start at three o'clock in the morning. I had the volume on super-loud (since I was listening to one of my many podcasts before I stopped working at four) and it scared the crap out of me. I was then up for awhile so I had a cup of tea and was trying to resettle when Avery had a screamy session for twenty minutes at five AM. She was then up for the day at 6:15 (and chipper too!). At least I was rested (even though I could have had more sleep...mmm, yummy sleep).Thursday, January 13, 2011
A Gate-Fold Card
The Paper Pretties blog is having a fancy fold creation which prompted this gate-fold card. The colours were a bit of a challenge (Cosmo Cricket's Joy Ride) but I think I pulled it off so that it plays as an effective masculine card.

Ah, gotta love the gate fold! Great pp, too!
Love the fold; the closure is wonderfully creative. The buttons and ribbon are just perfect. Gotta love it when you make a great masculine card to boot!

LOVE your gate-fold Allison.
Such wonderful paper you have used on your lovely card. I am sure I would have been clinging to the roof if I heard that noise. lol
Great card. Always nice to see a different fold in a card.
Oh my goodness your sleep tale was quite something. Good thing our computer is clear at the other end of the house from our bedroom.
Love your gate fold and how you did the closure! Thanks for playing with Paper Pretties!
Jeepers, that thing is fantastic!! Yes I do think you pulled off the colors too. True confessions: I'm addicted to Cosmo Cricket and the ways in which I use them probably make designers scream. That is the greatest, and probably only, awesome thing I've seen/heard said about kerning!!! I was LOLing!!
I love your cute Gate-Fold, Allison!! Such fun papers too!!
Great card Allison - perfect guy's card. LOL at your Typography Humour. Jaqui x
