Late DCD Post-Song Inspiration!

Hey all! I'm back from Toronto safe and sound! What a whirlwind experience-fantastic, but turbo speed all the way! And amongst my travels to and from I lost my zip drive (USB key) that stored these pictures that I was to send to my dear Boss Susie as well as other important school and personal documents that i had stored there!Arrgh!

So, this is just a reminder that this week's challenge over at DCD's Christmas Club is to incorporate a song in your creation! Mine is Amy Grant's song "Love Will Keep Us Warm This Year at Christmas!" It's not a really well known song unless you had her CD in the late 80's and early 90's. My Mom thought it would be good for her children to listen to "Christian Rock" instead of all the Metallica and other heavy metal I used to listen to! HAHAHA! SO there you go! Hope u like!

P.S. My candy ends march 10th and the winner will be announced on the 11th! Don't miss out! xox Trisha

Sketch Time, plus Blue and Pink!

Hey all- Yay- it's the week-end!! I was exhausted last night and am relaxing all day today! Well, I may make a card or two-but that's not work! LOL! This week's challenge at DCD's Christmas Club is to follow fellow teammate, Karen's sketch and to use the colors Blue and Pink! I used this cute image called Neva- available at All that Scraps! I'm entering the following challenges: Craft Us Crazy (Winter), Shelly's Images (Use ribbon), I used my pink satin and the organza with glittered circles, Ooh La La Creations (Pink, Pink and More Pink) and Fabulous Friday (use metal on your creation) My snowflake brads are metal as is the wire in the crystal stems, and Guylou's Inimitability (Anything Goes). Hope u like! xox, Trish :)

A card and Tag Set!

Hey all! I'm a little late with my Saturday post, so please bear with me!! My dear friend, Roberta has been trying to fix my blog and has literally copied my pics, text, etc.. out of my posts, and re-entered them to a new post, but every new post reverts to this left and right stuff. Blogger help says I need to change the "a" at the beginning html stuff, but I'm not comprehending their lingo, so if anyone has tips, let me know! Thanks!!:) This week's challenge at DCD's Christmas Club is to make a card and matching tag set! I used this cute image from Pink Cat Studio-his name is Hootie Pie. Colored him up with prisma pencils. I also incorporated pre-made tags from Hallmark (split the snowflake one in half, which became the top of the tag) and recycled the sentiment from an old christmas card! I'll try to find some challenges, but there doesn't seem to be too many Christmas ones lately. Hope u like! xox Trish
