Butterflies & Teacups

Good Afternoon! I hope you all have been enjoying the weekend. I have had a lot of fun this weekend with my Grand-daughter who was super happy to hear that her Gammy has recovered enough from her neck surgery to have sleep-overs again.....finally (as Kasey said, lol). She has really missed our slumber parties since my surgery in February. We have had a busy time these past 2 days, especially since she is only 4; and what 4 year old ISN'T busy??
Anyway, on to today's card :) This card is my first attempt at a gate-fold card. Its just your standard gate-fold but I have found another style I will enjoy making again and again. I got the inspiration for the layout from a sketch I found on The Crazy Challenge. With having Kasey here yesterday and today, I didn't get the pictures uploaded in time to enter it in their challenge but, if you want to see the sketch, I have linked it with their name. It really was an awesome sketch, and I'm sure I will use it again.

Here is the card I made to share with you today:
