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 :)

Paper-Piecing-Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!! I wish everyone a relaxing day filled with family, friends and lots of laughter! We had our big supper last night along with the big Easter Egg Hunt outside with all my nieces and nephews, as well as my kids-it was great and the weather was co-operating for a change too! My stomach still feels full from all the good vittles and candy!

Now onto the challenge: Over at Totally Tilda, this fortnightly's challenge is to use paper-piecing in your creation! We are being sponsored by fellow DT member, Lynne-who has some digital sentiments up for grabs as the prize. Check out her shop: Sentiments 4 You. Doesn't Tilda look adorable in her two-tone dress? I was going to leave her dress green and Bertie, fellow DT member and Prairie Fairy herself suggested I add a pink bib over top. Much appreciated!! The papers are from K&Company.

I'm entering the following challenges with this creation: Magnolia Stamp Lovers (Flowers) Let's Ink It Up (Stitching), Stampin Sisters in Christ (Make a Round Card), Just Us Girls (Any template, Springtime) Fussy and Fancy (Springtime), Fairy Knoll (Easter or Spring), ECP Challenges, Crazy 4 Challenges,  Craft Your Days Away and Sweet Stampin' (Easter).

Have a "Hoppy" Day! xoxo, Trish :)

O is for Ovals

Hey all! This week's challenge at ABC Challenge blog is "O is for Ovals". We are so lucky to be sponsored by One Stop Cards this week. I used this super-cute Tilda image from the "You're so Special" Collection-she's my absolute favorite!! I followed Suzanne Dean's tutorial as best as I could to color african-american faces, but I don't have all the copics recommended so I improvised. I'm entering the following challenges: Just Magnolia (Love You), Magnolia Down Under (Distressing), Incy Wincy Designs (Use punches or dies), Let's Ink It Up (No Digi-Romance/Valentines) Magnolia Stamp Lovers (use pastels) and Scrappy Frogs (Love). Hope u like!! Have a great day! xox Trish :)

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Tilda!

Hi gang! Do you like my new blog lay-out? I absolutely love it-it fits me to a tee! Prairie Fairy made it for me, as she also does blog deisning too! So to celebrate, I made a Tilda creation- actually had time tonight! Very rare lately! I'm entering Magnolia Down Under's Challenge (3 R's). I recycled the corrugated cardboard from plate inserts/protectors I bought in the city the other day, the ribbon is from a gift box from the Body Shop, the leaves are from my wedding bouquet that I finally took apart this year, when I was moving, the buttons are all oldies that my grandma passed down to me and lastly that kraft paper oval is from the back of a Jolee's sticker package you get at Micahels! I think I did good with the 3 R's!! I'm also entering Paper Pretties (sewing),Magnolia Stamp Lovers (being sentimental), and Tuesday Throwdown (distressing). Hope u like! xox Trisha
