Shoes, hot pink and shopping

I love the current trend for hot pink with black, and a quick rootle through the boxes here turned up the makings of this:
I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card stock

- hot pink card from my goodies, edged using Martha Stewart's 'Half Daisy' punch

- topper from my Kanban goodies, had it almost forever

- a single, big, black gem on the bow of the shoe

- a couple of black feathers (Hobbycraft)

- organza roses from Mei Flower

Quick and very easy :)

Just as well something worked OK yesterday, yet another trip to the hairdresser ended in trauma - which part of 'Not too much off please' didn't she understand?! The thing is, after the first huge 'snip' resulting in 2" of hair in her hand, I couldn't very well ask for it to be stuck back on :( I considered making a bolt for it but wasn't sure that would help either. Sigh, next time I'm gonna take one of you with me as a 'carer'!

To be honest, it feels much cooler right now - and perhaps it'll grow back by Winter time :)

  3. Oh Di sorry to hear about the hair trauma, I would suggest taking a photo when it is the length you want it and giving them that as a guide. Lovely card too, love shoes and pink together. Hugs, Amanda x

  5. Oh, naughty hairdresser! They stress me out so much when they don't listen. When I was 16, a hairdresser obviously couldn't understand "2 inches" and cut off all my lovely long hair (which was down to my bottom) up to just below my shoulders. I cried!
    Oh yes, card.... well, stylish and sophisticated, dahhhling!

  6. I can imagine your hairdresser trauma. I go to a little Spanish girl in the village, (my choice rather than one of the ex-pat stylist around here), and she is adamant that she can't speak English, so she just doesn't try to understand my stumbling Spaniah. I just shrug and say 'todo corto' (all short) and hope for the best. I've only been really scalped once!
    Stylish card. I like the pink and black too. Kate x

  8. OOOH! That's a sassy card you have there Di! Love it.

    I feel for you mate. I ABSOLUTELY HATE my fringe being too short and obviously JUST CUT! Grrrr. Last time I asked me hairdresser to cut just a titchy bit off my fringe and she asked if she had cut too much off last time . . . and I said YES! (Brave wasn't I?)

    Sending you a nice wig . . . . xxxx

  9. Gorgeous colouring - I love pink and black - it can look really dramatic. The hair will grow back soon, at least it's cooler in the hot weather!

  12. Hi Di,

    What a pretty card. I read the rhubarb story and just laughed. I HATE going to the grocery so sometimes all I have in my refrigerator are condiments! I love rhubarb/strawberry pie.

    Oh, poor you, with the hair cut. I wear mine pretty short but have been trying to let it grow a bit. I called my hairdresser to set up an appointment this week and she asked me if I had left the country.


    Hugs,
    Kay
