Hostess with the Mostess

Not really, but I struggle with post titles.  This week's challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a technique challenge....and brought to you by none other than me :)  I admit I'm not much of a techie...craft techie either.  I chose paper pleating.  It's quick and simple, and can really create dimension on a card or layout.







Here's what I came up with:

So I admit, this looks nothing like I had planned...and I'm also noticing I forgot to adhere my title letters.  OOPS.  I worked ahead as I was on vacation last week and the early part of this one.  I edited and saved my pictures before I left.  Anyways...it was scrapping or packing and well time was running out.  Somewhere on my desk are letters that spell "Roller Girl."

It's a really simple layout, but I hope you  notice how it looks stepped up with the simple addition of the pleating.  Here's a side view:

Looks like I need to fix a pleat when I get back.  I had to pleat three sections of the Pink Pirouette to get my length.

I'd love to see what you can come up with, especially since I chose the technique.  And I promise not to be such a space cadet next week!
