Luka with Truck!

Hey gang! It`s so bright and sunny right now! Yay! Soooo excited right now too! I won over at MDUC!! My first win! I`m seriously on cloud nine right now-but woke up way too early as there was a chainsaw going off and and an excavator next door, and we Prairie Fairy girls had a late night coloring last night! I found out about the win from my good friend Lori! So, I`m sharing with all of you now! I had to share this card, as my son has clearly pointed out that I have tons of froo-froo cards, but barely any boy cards-so I`m on a mission-to make at least 20 male cards before the end of July! But -I`ve been warned-no lace, no flowers or pearls-whaaaat???! LOL-I hope I can do it! This image is the adorable Luka with Truck and he`s available at Lalaland Crafts. He`s colored with Copics and Prisma color pencils. I`m entering the following challenges:  Fussy and Fancy (Male), Mami Doodles (Male), The Paper Variety (Special Guy).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 :)

Hey gang! The countdown in on at my place-18 days of school-then HOLIDAYS! Yay!! I made this card using the stamp, Scout Luka from the Summer Fun line available at Lalaland Crafts. Isn't he just precious? I've got lots of fisherman, hunters and outdoorsy males in my family, so this card could totally fit the bill as a birthday card or a Father's Day card-I haven't decided yet, as my Dad's birthday falls on the 19th, which is also father's Day!! The papers I used are actually Christmas DPs from the Jovial Collection by Basic Grey. I'm entering the following challenges with him: Creative Inspirations (Father's Day), Come and Get It Challenges (Father's Day),Creative Inspirations Paint (Dad or Special Male), Craft Your Days Away (Father's day/Special Man) and Sparkles Forum (father's Day). Have a great day! xox Trisha

I've used this beautiful Tilda from the Butterfly Dreams Collection. My papers are all a variety from my stash collection and my flowers are from the wonderful store Wild Orchid Crafts. I swear, I can never have too much WOC!! LOL- I"m entering the following challenges: Wee Memories (Anything Goes), Wags N Whiskers (stitching), and Just Magnolia (Anything Goes, option of lace) Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Vintage Wedding!

Hey all! What a blunder this post has been. I've been busy all day and I just had a chance to see what comments I got on this card to see that my card wasn't even posted! Eeek! I searched my scheduled posts to see if there was anything there-nada. I knew I  had scheduled it last week, but then I looked in my drafts and there it was!! I guess it pays to invest in a mouse with a lap-top instead of my not-so-trusty finger!LOL. I love this Magnolia image-it reminds me of a real vintage style wedding. I'm entering Just Magnolia's Anything goes with option of lace, Just Some Lines (Monochromatic), Ai Factory (Distressing), Crafty Sentiments (Neutral Colors), Digi Doodles (Weddings), The Rubber Cafe (Weddings/Anniversary), C.R.A.F.T (Weddings/Love), and Our Creative Corner (Soft and Elegant Wedding Project). Hope u all like! Back in a few hours for a Totally Tilda post! xox Trish

Speedy Recovery Mark!

Hey gang! I made this card yesterday for my colleague, Mark, who is also my educator's assistant. This past Friday, he was playing soccer outside with my students, fell in a rut/hole and he really sprained his ankle to the point where his tendons were severely stretched-not snapped, thankfully. I had to rush him to the ER and everything, as I was acting principal. Oh the drama, as I had to rush my nephew the day before for stitches! I may have missed my calling as a paramedic! LOL! He's off work for the next 3 weeks and I'm going to go insane without his help in my Math classes, as he works with my more needy students!
Before he started working as an E.A., he was a bush pilot. He still loves to fly, so I thought he might like this card. The image is Pilot Luka, from Lalaland Crafts. I colored him using Copics and Prisma pencils. My sister thinks it looks too babyish. I think he'll appreciate it though. If he doesn't- not my problem-it's the thought, right? I'm entering the following challenges: Craft Your Passion (What a Guy), The Stamping Boutique (Red White and Blue), Stamping Scrapping Central (Masculine), Sweet Stamps (Masculine) and Simon Says Stamp (Father's Day/Male Card). Hope u like! xox Trisha
