Happy Friday! (Well, it's almost Friday here....) The days are just flying by so far this Autumn, and I think the snow will be falling here way too soon. The weather is becoming much more suited to crafting, though and I found some time to make a card yesterday.
I wanted to do a little different fold for a change, so I opted for a gatefold card. The main papers are long time residents of my scrap bin, so I don't have the names for them. The fishing pole and fish are cut from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge. They were perfect for the young fellow that this card is designated for, as he is quite the avid fisherman. The little label shape is cut from the Create-A-Critter, but I cut the points off two of the sides. I made the sentiment on the computer, and I just love this font. My pictures are a little dark; I really should remember to take them earlier in the day.

And the inside:
Cardstock: Bazzill, Staples
PP: Unknown, Bo Bunny Frosted Dot, DCWV Metallic
Cricut Cartridge: Boys Will Be Boys - fishing rod & fish cut @ 2 3/4
Create A Critter - label shape (raccoon phrase) cut @ 1 1/4 & 1 1/2
Ink: Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Other: Platinum Stickles & Glossy Accents (Ranger), brads (unknown), jute twine (unknown)
Computer Fonts: Kristen ITC @ 18
Calibri @ 16

What a great card and so perfect for a fisherman. I think the gatefold is my favorite fold and one I could do all the time. :) Have a great weekend.
What a beautiful card. I love the way it opens up and the fish is adorable.
Thank you for visiting with me today.
Dixie,
This is absolutely adorable! I might have to case this one. I just love how you designed this card and being masculine too. TFS!
Dixie, what a great card for this young man who loves to fish. I like the gatefold style with the circle in the middle. Great job with your Cricut Cuts.
