Fairy Fun Fridays-Sketch Time!

Hey all, yes it's another post on the same day, but I gotta do what I gotta do! LOL. It's sketch time at Fairy fun Fridays, and it's a good one too. Just realizing now that I forgot to add my sentiment! LOL-having a brain-fart moment in my sketch following!! I just love these girls that Bertie, the Prairie Fairy herself has come up with. I love the dreamy, far-away look they all have. My papers are a combo of K&Company and Bo Bunny. Hope u like. Have a great week-end y'all! 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.

"Under My Umbrella"-Inspired by a Song

Hey gang! Happy Friday-right now I'm on my way to the city with my class and the whole school to attend the yearly "Festival du Voyageur". We'll be outside all day doing traditional/cultural activities of the Fur-trader era! HéHo! At least there are warm-up tents if we get cold. Our first activity is snowshoeing-can't wait-haven't done that all year!

Okay- now on to more interesting stuff-this week's challenge at Fairy Fun Fridays is to make a creation inspired by a song. I used this super-cute Raindrop image and my original song inspiration was by the Eurythmics/Annie Lennox "Here Comes the Rain Again"-but I wasn't feeling it, cuz it's really about love and stuff, so my sister suggested Rhianna's "Under My Umbrella", which focuses on being a true friend to others when they're in a bind, which I have relied on lots these past few months and I hope I have returned the favor as well-plus this song is much more hip and current! LOL! I used Liquid Glass onrer umbrella to make it look wet and I colored her completely in Copics! Holy Moly! I'm entering the following challenges: Paper Shelter Challenge (Red), Sisterhood of Crafters (ribbon and brads), and Copic Creations (Use Warm colors).

Have a great day! xox, Trish :)

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!!
