Use Acetate!

;

Hey all! Yaaay! I'm finally finished all my report cards, so I actually had time to craft something!! I have to admit that this challenge to use acetate over at MDUC intimidated me at first, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I made this for a very special and patient lady who has put a lot of perspective back into my life. I hope she likes it-she likes my card so far!! I printed the acetate in a color printer, but I got some butterfly background images- copied  and resized them into a Word document and then voilà-printed acetate! I'm also entering the following challenges: TOMIC (Summer) Color Create (Blue, Grey and White), Crafty Creations (Sparkly), Ruby's Rainbow (Flowers) and A spoonfull of Sugar (Ribbons and bows). Hope u like! xox Trish :)

Use More Than One Fold!

Happy Friday gang! It's time for another challenge over at Fairy Fun Fridays. The theme this time around is to incorporate more than one fold. I have to say, I feel out of my element when it comes to extra folds, easels, etc..., but I like the way this turned out. I punched the edges with Martha Stewart's doily lace punch and I'm pleased with the effect. I used this super cute Gillian image is available at Prairie Fairie's site and she is available already colored. I printed the color version, as I knew I was running behind-but I enhanced  a lot of areas with my Copics. Should have just colored it!LOL. My papers are K& Company and the polka dot green paper is Imaginisce, I believe. I'm entering the following challenges: Southern Girls (Lace and pearls), Crafty Creations (Flowers,DP,ribbon), Divas By Design (One for the girls), A Spoon Full of Sugar (Anything Goes) and Anita Be Stampin' (Pearls and Lace) Have a great long week-end to all my fellow Canadian bloggers! I'm off to get my recertification in First Aid and CPR!! Yay! xox  Trisha

For a Sweetheart!

Hey gang! Yay, it's finallyFriday and January is almost over!! People who know me well know that I hate January! It's cold, it snows, flu germs, kids coughing, it's cold, it snows...LOL So I'm excited for February!! My son is a Valentine's baby and I love to decorate the house in pinks and reds. Of course, he hates it now, but as a toddler he "woved it"! So, I loved making this cutie with one of my favorite Prairie Fairy characters-Gillian! My daughter asked me when I was coloring this image-"why do you color her glasses turquoise blue all the time?" I guess I think of Gilly as my alter-ego. I got my first pair of glasses when I was 10, and guess what color they were? Yup, the same color-Then, when I was around 12-13, I got the Sally Jessy Raphael glasses in a similar color!! Big helmet hair, braces and blue rimmed glasses- Very CHIC-thank God the 80's are over!! The challenge this fortnight at Fairy Fun Fridays is to make a card for a sweetheart! I don't know to whom I will give this yet!! No sweethearts here! Maybe my daughter-depends on who behaves well from now until then!! I'm entering the following challenges: Charisma Cardz(Valentines, Love), Delightful Challenges , Meljen Designs(Include/Make something with a Heart) and A Spoonful of Sugar (Valentines). Hope u like! xox T.
