LMCB - How do you fold

Hello everyone

I am a little late getting this post up (Sorry about that).

I spent the week in Toronto doing a training and when I returned sleep was calling my name.

So.... with that being said I really enjoyed this weeks challenge at Lasting memories.

It was really a challenge for me to include folding on my LO - Plus another first for me with this fold.

It is called pleating... I also tried to do a quick tutorial for you. Please excuse the photos - it is hard to take photos and craft at the same time... I welcome any suggestions.

Here is my Layout...

The pictures are from a cheer-leading competition at Canada's Wonderland.

to make the pleats I used my Scor-pal scored every 1/2 in.

Pinch the scores together

They will look like this...

I used my ATG gun on a scrap piece of paper

It helps to hold it in place

The final product ... Well the pleating anyway

Here is a close up of the pleating on the Layout.

and of course the cheerleader with a Peachy Keen face made from Cricut

"Paper dolls every day" Cartridge.

and that is how it came together... The beautiful papers and some embellishments that I used were from Authentique Celebration line.

Come join us at Lasting Memories for the challenge a Surprise will be the prize from Karen.

I would like to also enter my Layout into the following challenges:

Dilly Beans - stripes

Kraftin Kimmie - anything but a card

Die Cutting Divas - ATG

Party Time Tuesday - ATG

Dynamic Duos - colour challenge

Dancing in Pajamas - paper pleating

Sending hearts...

Lasting Memories has another challenge up for you this time you need to really be creative and use a recipe - a real one! We are being sponsored by one of our own - STACIA who will be sending out this amazing pack to who ever is the winner... so you must give this challenge a try!!!

It has been quiet the challenge but I have decided to go with a recipe that no one else would ever have.... Papa's Specialty (formally know as Dad's Special - until 19 years ago when my daughter came into the world).

When I was younger my brother and I were always busy in the evening between girl guides, bowling, baseball, hockey, boy scouts... I am sure you all understand. We struggled to have a quick and easy meal that would fill us up and get us out the door. My dad thought of a dish... now don't laugh.... 1 package of hamburger meat browned up, a can of cream corn and a can of brown beans. Served with toast and maybe a salad but back then I didn't eat vegetables. Believe it or not it actually tastes amazing... later my dad used mushrooms or hot sauce to change the flavor a bit but we have it now as a family quick meal. One day my daughter will carry on the tradition to her children on those busy evenings. Here is the LO I made with my dad's recipe in the LO
