Friday, Oct. 16 - ssnotime109 - Gatefold -- Today's challenge deals with how we fold our card -- we are going to do Gatefold cards today. Fun for a change! Gatefolds are cards that fold in from each side, meeting in the middle, so it opens like a gate. The folds don't have to be symmetrical, your opening can be off center if you like. Check out all the DT samples for some great ideas with this fun fold!!!
So here's mine. I chose some gorgeous new Heidi Grace fall paper called Harvest Flower and PTI's Autumn Abundance stamp set for this card.

So, now it's your turn. Come along and play and take us up on the challenge--we'd love to see what you come up with. If you do, be sure to leave a comment on Sharon's blog telling her where you uploaded. Please use the keyword ssnotime108 if you upload to a public forum.
