Snowflake Swiss Pixie!

Good morning ladies! This is my Snowflake Swiss Pixie card for Susie and Vikki's challenge this week! The image is called Nora. The DPs are from Cosmo Cricket and My Mind's Eye (Colorful Christmas)The snowflake with pins was super easy to make-just put mounting tape behind the sentiment and stick the pins into the foam. I hope you enjoy your week-end! XXX Trisha

Stitching, Faux or real!

I've got awesome news! I've been chosen to be a member of Susie and Vicki's permanent design team crew!I'm still in shock and truly honored and flattered that they've chosen me!! YAAAY! So here's a card that I created using faux stitches, as my machine is still @X&%. I'm going to enter it in the Sophisticat challenge #31as well. Have a great week-end!:) T-Bear!

Jingle all the way

Yup, Another Christmas card! Susie and Vikki awarded me another spot as a guest designer for this week. What an honor again-thanks girls!! The theme this week is Jingle all the way! I used Praire Fairy's Roo Cat image. He's too cute! The DP's are from Making Memories, Bo Bunny and Imaginisce. The bells fell off from an old pillow I had. (Te he!) Enjoy your week-end! T-Bear XOX

GDT-Christmas stocking

I'm sooo honored to be a guest designer for this week's challenge at Susie and Vikki's Christmas challenge-Stockings! I still don't feel worthy compared to all the great entries in their challenge.You will not believe that I was stumped on this one for a while!! First, I didn't have a stamp for this card, next I couldn't visualize a sketch. Usually, I don't even have to think about it. It just comes together as I work. So, I did make the stocking pieces myself, the grommet, laces and all. I got it all together and it still looked, well Blaaah! Then I decided to use my Inkadinkadoo Christmas set for the penguin and Santa and it looked much better. The papers are all from the Polar Expressions line from Imaginisce, as well as the sentiment. The snowflake punch is from my goddess: Martha Stewart. I don't care if I lose followers,um yah I do, -I just love everything she does, except her glitter glue-mine was a dud. Some people think she's a crook, but damn she's good! I'm also going to enter Cute Card Thursday's challenge (Make your own) That Stocking is an original!! I have to go pick up a huge B-day cake now. Enjoy the week-end gals. Happy blog-hopping at Prairie Fairy! T-Bear:)

Peace, Joy , Noël!

Good morning! I've got so much to do in the next couple days, that you're not going to hear from me this week-end. I even have my Saturday GDT Card saved as a draft (te he!)It's my grand-mother's (Mémère Vincent) 90th B-Day this Sunday, and I want to create an awesome card for her, but I'm stumped. Any ideas? Also, my two oldest and bestest cousins on my Mom's side are coming out from Halifax and from Hinton,AB, so I'll want to get in a good visit with them. Plus, my sis and her kids and hubby are staying with us all week-end. So, it's major clean-up time. I'm not a slob - but beds need need to be changed, things dusted that get overlooked, etc.. U all know the drill!! This is my entry for this week's challenge at Susie and Vikki's. This stamp is older than my son LOL. Seriously, I bought it in '99 from Hero Arts and have only used it twice. It suits this theme perfectly. P.S. Watch on Saturday for my GDT spot on their site. I'm so excited!! Toodles!!:)

Very Vintage!

Okay, So I think I'm way out of my element. I'm so used to stamping and coloring images. I tried using my sewing machine to make it all vintagy, bought new needles, thread-u name it, and the darn machine kept jamming. I was sooo p.o.ed. I did have a beautiful Mary and baby Jesus stamp from Hero Arts, but one of my friends, who's also a DT at Susie and Vicki's Craft Challenge, made a card with a similar image and I totally didn't want her to think that I copied her!!! So I'm entering this card in that challenge and in the Winter Wonderland challenge-this week is embossing. The very cute image I got from Vintage Clipart (my daughter pointed out that the alphabet letters are her initials & they are), the pearls are Kaisercraft, the lace I got from my mama! She kept all kinds of ribbon and wee flowers from our wedding decorations. Three girls-she's got quite the collection. Let me know what you think!:)
