Tulip Tent card - Sukkersött Challenge #88

Hey Peeps, hope you are all happy and well :O)

Nursery school has been closed today and is tommorow for teacher planning,

so today we took a trip to the Ear, Nose and Throat Dr with my 2yr old who has yet another ear infection :O( Poor wee monkey, he is such a soilder, he gets them very often because of his drains and luckly dosn't complain much.

With eardrops in bag, one clammy 2yr old hand in right hand and one clammy 3yr old hand in the other we skipped off for a paddle in a nearby waterfountain and icecream followed.

Tommorow a farm visit and trott on a pony is on the cards much to my 3yr olds disapointment as he wants to ride on a wolf, well son, mums name is not Jim!

On that note I turn to my Tulip tent card that is going to be entered into this weeks challenge over at Sukkersött. The challenge this week is to make a card that is not square, and this one is certainly not square :OD

hÄnglar and stÄngler kort GDT- Totally Gorjuss

Having recovered from the Champagne and Prawn party I attended last night, I now get round to posting this card and
Yeehaaa! I have been thinking about and wanting to try out a different kind of folding card for AGES and have finally gotten round to doing something about it!!
What do you think? I found the card was quite heavy so it kept on sliding out at the bottom, so I glued in a peice of paper joining the front and back together that folds neatly away when the card is closed. Is there anyone that has any tips of doing that another way? I can't be the first on to have problems with it sliding open??

This card is made as Guest Designer for the Totally Gorjuss Challenge 43 - Aqua shades.
