I must say I am feeling tired this morning. Jet lag you know, and sharing a room with Kelly. (We had a snoring competition and neither one of us got much sleep.)
Already we have had trouble at the gate with the guards and it seems the Queen's gold necklace is missing. I got lost from the group when we were touring the castle and ended up in the gardens. I thought that these three little flowers looked like the one's on Cindy's teapot. So I leaned down and tried to pick them. All of a sudden alarms went off and the guard dogs started barking. I think I am going to go somewhere quiet for awhile. Girls I am just going to sit on this bench. Come and get me when it is time to board the tour bus to take us to Big Ben.
I saw a tri-fold card like this in the gallery last night and was thinking, I want to make one like that someday. Well someday is today. I think it also qualifies as a CAS card. Something I rarely do. No layers, No fancy cutting, just stamping and coloring.

Very effective idea and details ~ TFS! I too enjoy CAS tri-folds, esp when they fit in regular desk envelopes: Trifold Angle 3-1/2 by scgustaf at Splitcoaststampers

I might have to case this card, it is adorable. Love the squiggly top edge -- and the triple fold is really nice! Really pretty card! I think it is fit for a queen!

Super pretty trifold card, MariLynn! What a perfect design for Cindy's tea pot this week! Sounds like you had quite an ordeal earlier at the castle! Time to sit down and relax with a cup of really British tea!

Oh MariLynn, you know you aren't suppose to pick flowers in the Queen's garden. You crazy girl, that's why we have cameras! I'll come get you off that bench when it is time to tour. Relax, don't worry. I know the guard. .....Really pretty card. I love the tri-fold idea. You've been a busy stamper. P.S. I'll have a talk with that snoring Kelly. Sheesh! TFS :0)

So pretty, MariLynn. Don't worry, I think Shirm smoothed it over with the Queen. Don't worry about the dogs, I am a dog trainer and I am sure I can handle those wimpy dogs.

What a great way of incorporating the scallops and gold edging from the pot. And of course the flowers are perfect. And hey - the card would make a great little screen to set up in front of your bench so that nobody can see you catch 40 winks. The jet-lag won't be so bad for you going back home again, at least.

That is my garden, such as it is. You could come and pick flowers there and I promise no alarms would go off, and we don't even have one guard dog. But there's just one little orange poppy out right now- you'd better not come for a week or two, and then that tub behind the little wall should be blooming. I thought the fancy cup demanded a fancier setting, but then I decided that it is a garden party after all - even if some people managed to find their way inside the castle!!
