Here is my version of the Triangle Trifold card by Beate, which is all the rage this month on Splitcoaststampers.  Her tutorial is here .  For my card I used the Petals and Paisleys designer paper, So Saffron CS, and the Big Blooms stamp set.  I added some paper piercing to the bare white corners of the front panel, which was just what it needed!  Now I see that I must also add a turquoise circle to the middle of the flower, to match the turquoise ribbon.  Then maybe it will be finished!

Well, spring has sprung.  My crocuses are in bloom and the mound of snow at the center of the cul-de-sac is almost gone.  We visited Rita’s on the first day of spring (in the rain) to get our free Italian ices.  I continue my Big Blooms saga with a coaster album.  The Petals and Paisley paper and photos were easily attached to the coasters with the SU Anywhere Glue Stick.  A book ring, grosgrain ribbon and another quick, easy project.  The smile saying is from the hostess set Reason to Smile.  I found these funny animal photos and they were a perfect match!  One of my husband’s hobbies is photography (isn’t he good)!  As a family, we enjoy nature and zoo outings, so I have lots of animal photos.  In fact here’s a fun album page I submitted to Stampin’ Up!
