Challenge # 823 Fancy Fold

 Hello everyone,

Chrissy with you this week for a new challenge and I would love to see " Fancy Folds "

I've not really done a lot of fancy folds, just started and really enjoying it, I'm still a basic fancy fold, but I try..

This is what I did for this challenge..

the center flap flips up and there are pockets inside for tags and labels..

So I do hope you will play along and make a fancy fold card or anything else that has a fancy fold to it..

Link up below and have fun..

Challenge #821 - Circle of Life

Our challenge this week is "Circle of Life" (the next in my list of Elton John hits) and I'm looking for crafters to use at least one circle on their creations. 

I let the patterned paper do all the work for me with lots of tiny circles on my card! (The sentiment refers to a Catherine Tate sketch and we quote it with regularity at my house.)

Please check out the rest of the Design Team's projects below (marked DT) and then join the challenge by linking your own project below. Just remember to use at least one circle somewhere on your creation!
