TIOT #36 and a cause to CUT IT OFF

Is it just me or are the weeks going by FAST? I really don't mind because I am soooooo done with the heat down here!

It feels like I just posted my previous TIOT yesterday and now here we are again! I especially loved this week's challenge because it was based on this fabulous tutorial for a Triangular Trifold card by Beate Johns. Here's my little pink floral fantasy card:


Do you recognize the bouquet of flowers? I cut them out from the Alexa stamp (Victoria Case Hearts and Hugs Collection Series 1). It just goes to show you that SCACD stamps can be very versatile!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: SCACD Alexa

Ink: StazOn black

Paper: Basic Grey Lemonade pad, Prismatic Pink Pack, SU cs (Certainly Celery, Positively Pink), watercolor paper

Accessories: Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Pendant, Scor-Pal, watercolor markers


Make a larger square and adjust the measurements and score lines to accommodate your larger images :).

On another note, my hair had grown below my waist and I decided to cut it all off and donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths (goes towards making wigs for both children and adults), a worthwhile cause benefiting cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemo treatments.

If you're ready for a new short do, please remember to donate!

  7. What a great card, it is fabulous, you follow those directions so well, LOL. I love the colors and the inside verse.

    Also love your hair, very cute, I hope you like it too, do I see some highlights in the back. Different I bet. I got a very short hair cut a while ago but it was not as long as yours was to donate.

  9. Talk about BEAUTIFUL!!! Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less than perfection cuz your cards are always primo!! I love all the beautiful blooms, and that pink ribbon is yummy!!!

    Kudos to you for donating your locks to such a wonderful cause. It has been a long while since I have done that...just not sure who would want this mop of gray. I think I will look into that.

    Thank you for ALL the inspiration!!!
