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 :)

Peach, Purple and Cream!

Hey all! I had such fun making this-as it reminded me of an outfit I had and was sooooo proud of in the 80's from "Sportelle", with double layered socks and everything!!LOL I'm entering Magnolia Down Under's Challenge, which is to use Peach, Purple and Cream in your creation! I'm also going to enter Magnolia Stamp Lover's challenge (Anything Goes), Fairytale Challenge (Anything But a Card), Crafty Catz (Circles), and Incy Wincy (TicTacToe)  I chose, stickles, ribbon and lace. Have a great day-hopefully the sun will shine somewhere upon you-even if it isn't here!! xox Trish :)

Dreams Do Come True!

Hey gang! Wedding season must be in full force, because I got asked by three people yesterday (Saturday) if I had any. So, um I had to lie and say "Of course I do-when do you need them?" For next week-end (2), and  the week after. I definitely got cracking and that's what I made all day today-Yup, 4 wedding cards. I'll be sharing the rest the following Saturdays. This one's my favorite, because my favorite two characters, Tilda and Edwin are on it!!  The papers are from Bo Bunny's line "Vicki B". Flowers are all from WOC. I'm entering the following challenges: Magnolia Down Under (Sketch), Magnolia-licious Highlites (Wedding), Just Magnolia (Friends)-Okay, you might think what a stretch- that's a "friends" challenge-not a wedding challenge-but don't you usually marry your best friend??;Mark's Finest Papers  #57(Ivory and Lace), Simply Stampin' Challenge (Floral Frenzy),Crafty Sentiments (Special Occasions), Pals Paper Arts (Brads) and Sassy Studio Designs (Pearls, Lace and Elegance).

Christmas in May!

Hey gang!  Yes, two posts on the same day!! I didn't think I would be making a Christmas creation for a while, but I'm starting to miss it already!! So, I challenged myself to make this ornament out of a used CD. I got the inspiration from Corry and Lori! My papers are from Cosmo Cricket-Mitten Weather collection, flowers (WOC, snowflakes from dear friend Lori and I used stickles on Tilda`s dress and around the CD.

Kraftstock Tilda!

Hey gang-I wanted to post this last night and my lap-top wasn't working, couldn't figure it out-it was plugged in, I had an internet signal-nothing-Finally I noticed that my cord was disconnected where that heavy boxy thing is half-way down the cord!!! Duuuuh! So now I can finally post. This cutie is Tilda with Daffodil from the Butterfly Dreams Collection.  The flowers and daisy chain lace are from WOC and the daffodils are from blog candy I won a few weeks ago. Thanks again Dawn! I colored her with Copics and used Kraftstock to follow Magnolia Down Under's Challenge theme this week. I even quilled the karftstock and tucked it between the flowers for a different effect. I like it!! I'm also entering the following challenges: Cupcake Craft (Gingham and Roses), Magnolia-licious Highlites (Sketch), Everybody-Art-Challenge (Flowers), Tip-Top Tuesday (Flower Frenzy), Crazy Challenge #66 (Anything Goes) and Incy Wincy Designs (Mother's Day/Girlie).

Happy Easter Tilda!

Hey all! yes, I'm posting another Tilda card-but this new Magnolia collection, Butterfly Dreams is just so cute, I can't help but want to show them off. 

My good friend Lori also posted a card earlier today with eggs in the perfect shade I could have and should have used, but what's eerie is that I cut the styrofoam eggs last night and took a break from completing it, because my lower back was aching so much! Turns out I have a kidney infection-not very wise of me to leave it so long!! It would have been cool had I finished it, because we are always using similar colors or the same image, and we would have posted similar cards on the same day! LOL!
 I bought these eggs last year at Dollarama thinking that one day I would use them and when I saw a challenge with 'egg" in it-I just knew!! Great minds think alike.
This image is Tilda with Rubber Boots and I added some liquid glass so they would gleam. A lot of you may think-yellow boots, but there's a story behind this. A few weeks ago, I took my daughter to go buy rubber boots. There were tons to choose from and so many cool styles, and what did she pick-the plain yellow ones!! My four year-old niece even tried to convince her with some pink ones-but she didn't bite! Her reason was that nobody would pick yellow ones, therefore nobody in her class would have the same ones. Well, low and behold, doesn't one of her classmates show up with the identical boots and in the same size!! She was appalled!
Well, she's still loving them and made sure that her name was written on both sides of the inside of the boot and under the heel!!
I'm entering the following challenges: Cupcake Challenge (Lots of Layers), Pile it On (Use a rubber stamp) Oohlala Creations (aqua and bling) I used stickles and pearls; Paper Sundaes (texture), Tiffany Doodles (use Turquoise) Creative Inspirations Paint (Eggs) Die Cut Dreams, Dream Valley Challenges, Stamp'N'Doodle, Magnolia Down Under, Scrappy Frogs, Magnolia Stamp Lovers, Craft Your Days Away, Shannon's Sentiments, Magnolia-Licious Highlites  (all Easter challenges), and then Stampacular Challenge (Use stamps-Magnolia), Sentimental Sundays (sentiment).

Make Your Own DPs and Sketch

Hey all! Is it almost Friday yet? LOL-This week has seemed so long!! It was 1 C on Monday and it was -9C on Wed., but it felt much colder because of the wind!! It's a  little bit warmer today, but when will Spring be here???
To perk up my mood  I used this cute image of Tilda-so Spring-like with her rabbit in front of her!! I decided to enter Magnolia Down Under's Challenge and I made my own papers for this card-which was hard-because anyone who knows me, knows that I am the queen on Design Papers-love 'em, can't live without them.

So, I am going to show you what I did. For the background paper first paper, I used ink and sponged/rubbed  it on in a swirl motion and then stamped flowers on the paper. For the next paper-I stitched diagonally using different colors of thread and different stitching. It actually looks pretty cool.

I also followed Just Magnolia's Sketch and am entering this week's challenge if I'm not too late!!  I'm also entering the following challenges: Creative Inspirations (Easter), Creative Belli (Eggs/Bunnies),Stamping Royalty (Spring), For Fun Challenges (Use at least 3 of the colors:Blue, Pink Yellow, Green) and Freshly Brewed (Cute and Sweet)Hope u all like!xox Trish

Seeing Double!

Hey all! What a crazy week so far! I've been working on report cards til midnight and 1 am for the past 5 days-finally done today after school today! PLUS, I was in the city on Monday for another inservice, back again Tuesday afternoon for family business and an all day ressource mtg. at school today-When will I be able to teach again?! I literally feel like my candle has burned out! On top of that I'm not really feeling my mojo-waaaah! I'll recover this week-end hopefully!!

I made this card for my friend's daughter, who is attending her friends' party this week-end. Her friends are identical twins girls. I know Lori has made one also using the same image, but now the girls will receive two Tilda cards-no fights this way.

I also made this to coincide with MDCU's 2nd anniversary theme challenge, which is two use things in two's. I used 2 DPs, 2 brads, two strands of ribbon, 2 poppies, 2 corner tabs, 2 charms, and of course this beautiful image of 2 Tildas. I'm also entering Creative Cottage's, Scrapbook Sister's challenge (Spring), Crazy Challenge (eyelets/brads) and Papertake Weekly (3 of something- I used 3 flowers). Hope u like! xox Trish
