Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  I have some fabulous news for you (nope not feeling better lol) but I'm the DT coordinator of  The East wind Challenge !!!! Did you check out the store?!?  Wow totally awesome images!  And right now there's a freebie going on  The east wind challenge  and  a totally fab giveaway so you really need to check it out.  And while you're at it please check out the fab FB group here . There are going to be games and all sorts of fun stuff and possibly freebies... so just a hint that you want to be a member :) I had the fun time of creating something with the fab freebie!!!!  And here's my card inspired for the Chinese New Year celebration.

Woop woop it's Friday and it's my 1st DT Day over at Meljens Designs . For this very 1st post I decided to make something a bit different!  I'm making a TAG!!!!  Yup  :)  But to simplify my lift I made it using my Cameo.   For this tag I used the fabulous  Nermin the fox my Candy .   This little guy is probably for Halloween... but I thought he would be awesome on a little St-Valentine's day tag.  He reminds me of one of my boys who keeps all his candy just for him... so I figured I would give it to him :) It's going to go with his candy!

Hello!  It's Friday!!!  wooohooo (which is more than what I'm feeling right now... yup still dragging my feet lol).  So this time over at  Delicious Doodles challenge  we have a pretty easy one for you - use dies or punches. For me the challenge would be not to use them lol So anyway for my card I decided to use the little cutie  Valentine-bear .  I could so have used a dark image... but I do need some cute valentine day cards...

I'm back with one last post that I had not shared yet... I really really hate being sick... I can't seem to be on top of things anymore :( Anyway for this post it's pretty perfect to thank you all for being there for me!  All of you that just stop in your day to leave a comment about my work and my trials and errors :)  I also get some questions by mail sometimes!  I'm always in awe that some people actually follow me this way and take the time to write to me :)  So this card is especially for all of YOU!!!!  Thanks you a million times over!!! This card was done with one of the fabulous word art from  Create with TLC . I again made the background for this.  And this time I used an impression obsession stamp - music with bravo Burgundy ink from Stamping up.

Hello everyone!  Not a too good day... went to work 1/2 day and then went home with the intention of logging back on... but then by the time I got home I wasn't feeling so well... and well the temperature was back :( So I decided to take a short nap and work afterwards to realize that it was 5pm...and I had slept the entire afternoon!!!! Guess I'll try to make it up tomorrow!!!  I'm here to share with you a fast little card that had to be made last weekend as a colleague of mine lost his FIL :(  And I didn't have any French Sympathy cards already made.  So I decided to make one with an Asian flair to be able to enter it in the  Mark's Finest paper oriental sketch challenge .  I've been trying to win their fab set all month lol :)

It's time for a new DT post over at  Digital Delights  and this time I'm doing a little tag for you!!!  I'm using the fabulous  Love you this much Monkey  and the great  Love is in the air sentiment set . I thought this would be a great tag to go with some Valentine's candy for one of my little Monkeys... yup got one in particular in mind lol  I think he will like it.

Hello everyone it's time for a new challenge over at  Creative knockouts . This time our challenge for you is Tic Tac Toe DISTRESSING EMBOSSING SHAPED CARD STAMPS SENTIMENT DIES METAL EMBELLISHMENT PEARLS/BLING RIBBON/TWINE And the fabulous sponsor is  Totally adore those digis!!!  So humorous!!!!  And for my make I used the fab image Salon Deirdery.  I thought it was just perfect for a little pampered card :)

Goodevening folks!!!  I'm here after a long day at work... it was the 1st day that I worked at the office compared to home... I thought I would not make it in lol I was driving my youngest to school and had a huge coughing fit!  So much so that I felt that I was going to throw up... came back home took some syrup, a plastic bag (just in case right?!?) and back to the drive.  My daughter couldn't believe that I was actually getting back in the car... but it's my month end... and quarter end!!!  Need to be there and make sure that my numbers are ok!!! That I answer all the questions.... So tomorrow... I have a feeling I'll go and present the numbers and then be back home to do the further analysis in a pj... with the possibility of a nap... Anyway I'm here to share with you another little card that I made with the fab CD from Jem's designs .  Right now Jem's design has a huge sale!!!  And I know that I got a lot of questions after my 1st post.  The shi...

Ok here's the other card that I really needed to post before the sketch closes lol  I'm sooo behind in my commenting blogging and everything else... man... not used to that lol So for this little card I'm using again a fab image and sentiment from  Create with TLC .

I would like to start this post by thanking everyone for your nice comment about my health!!!  I'm very much looking forward to feeling better... In the meantime your comments warm my heart!  I don't think I've felt that sick and not seen the end... in like... forever lol I'm here tonight to share a card that was made with the great new set of  Create with TLC .  Here's the great set and this time I used a sentiment as well as one of the images. Here's my card. I decided to give it a retro feel :)

Hello everyone!  How was your day?!?  Me it was dragging my butt from the couch to my chair to try to do some cards to back to couch.... man I'm soooo looking forward to this virus leaving... and now that hubby is sick too you should see us both with the kids lol Ok so I'm here to share with you a little faster card that I was able to make since it was using a topper from a CD.  No coloring involved!  And I'm sooooo happy that I'm finally using my cd's more!  This one is from Jem's Designs   she's having a big sale right now... and that meant more spending from me... noooooo... oh well it's some pretty fabulous stuff.  So I'm using the great Free spirit cd which I no longer see on her site.  I purchased that one because my daughter just ADORES horses!!  And now I discovered that they can make some pretty fun masculine cards! Right now over at  CD sunday  it's about horses and what's funny is I thought I didn't have anything...

Hello everyone!  I'm back with another little card that I made way back last weekend to display the beautiful word art from  Create with TLC I kept this card really really CAS!  And made my own background!!!

I'm playing this time at  Dee dees digis  progressive challenge.  We got the very sweet bunny for playing last time!!!

Ok so I'm back!  Told you I had a few to share :)  So I saw that there was a super cute little challenge over at  Sassy cheryls challenge  and I haven't played in the longest of time!!!  And I had some images already colored... well actually I went online to check out the challenge since I had just purchased the new cuties that where on sale this weekend for only 1$ each!!!  And that's when I saw the challenge that I could enter with my already colored image! I also got an e-mail from Freshly made sketches with a great sketch!!!  So that was the start of this card.  The challenge at Sassy Cheryls is pearls so pretty easy!

Hello everyone!  So how was your day?!?  Here it was super quiet!!!  Now not only am I sick... but hubby got it too... and now he understand how I feel... but we still have 4 very healthy kids (thank god) who require attention... so not easy lol I got to craft a bit and I have a few cards to share with you!  I was behind in my makes for the progressive challenges that I follow and I also just HAD to play with the new set that Paulette has created lol so that's what I'm here to share with you right now!

Hello folks!  So I've been quiet... I'm supposed to be resting... and yes beside working 2/3 of my day from home.. I rested... but this is blogging... so sitting by the fire with my blankets... that's resting right?!?  I hope so because if what the dr said that it might take 3-6 wks for me to feel top shape, I'll lose it!!!!  completely I'm telling you... you might see a raving lunatic operating this blog soon  :) But for now I'm here to share a card that I made last weekend when I felt better.  I made something with an image from  Nicecrane .  It's part of this fabulous set  Romantic valentine Collection II  it was perfect for my mom. OK so now just need to say maman si tu lis ceci arrête tu vas voir ta carte trop tôt!!!! Back to the card lol so here's the fab set: I thought the vintage feel would be totally perfect for my mom!!!

I'm back and this time it's with my DT post for  Wags n whiskers . Our challenge for you is a sketch this time!  And it's a fun one. For my card I used  Best Friends Forever I just love this sweet little girl and I though she would make an awesome Valentine's day card for my little niece!

Hello everyone!  I'm here today to share with you my last DT post as a member of the great  Craftitude Challenge . For this challenge we have the priviledge of being sponsored by the awesome And for my ATC I used the very cute  Barn owl For this little ATC I went with earth tones and used all little bits and pieces that I had in my scrap pile.  I also used some Heritage element stickers and some Konnichiwa Basic stickers all from Basic Grey.

So how was you day folks?!?  Me it was spent at the clinic and then at the hospital when the dr decided that he preferred someone else make the diagnostic... So 8 hours waiting and coughing... To be told that it's a virus and that it might take another 3 to 6 wks to feel better... it's been already 3!  I think I'll lose the rest of my marbles if I don't start feeling better soon!!! Anyway... I'm here to share with you a little post before going to bed.  I have taken some pills and I'm waiting for their effect so in the meantime I figured I should share this with you before the challenges that I was entering closes. So I made this card with 2 challenges in mind.  The Mark's finest oriental sketch challenge . And the  Chalk a lot challenge  (animal with chalk).  I was thinking and thinking what type of digi I could use for this and then had a ah ah moment!  Of course the awesome  Panda love  from Delicious doodles would be totally awes...

Hello everyone!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Meljen's Design  and this time the challenge is for Not just black and white, add a color. For my card I decided to use  Cozy winter wolf pup .  And as you can see my extra color is red lol I also decided to make a little Christmas card! Yup trying to stay ahead of the game.

Hello everyone!  It's the time of the week when I get to share with you the creation that I made for  Digital Delights . For this creation I decided to use the very adorable  Cuddle bunny  and the great sentiment set  Romance sentiments set .

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share my post for  Art by miran . Since it is my turn to host the Artbymiran Blog and today I would like to share a special creation that I made using  Pretty girl - Heart digital stamp . Isn't this little girl just adorable?!?  I thought she would be perfect for my special Valentine's day creation.  I made something for my oldest's son's girlfriend.  I though that this image was perfect to send for her.  It's a candle box card!  My very 1st time making one of those!  Took me forever lol  but I'm quite pleased with the result This is the closed up version:

Hello everyone!  Hope you are well!  I'm doing better and it's so fun to be able to say that!  I'm here today because well there wasn't anything going on for DT work so I figured it would be a great time to share a card that I made using a great digi from Sami's stamp called Winterscarf Owl. I made this card to go with the little bookmark that I posted earlier this weekend.  It will be sent to my dad. It's also a great timing to be able to enter this in  Sami Stamp challenge  because it's Anything goes.

I don't know if you have seen it yet but there's an amazing new word art set from  Create with TLC  it's called Say it simply !!! Totally love this set!  It's so elegant. Tonight I'm sharing the card that I made using Time heals.  I figured it would be a great sympathy card.  I have so much trouble making those... that when I have a great sentiment and the opportunity I jump on it! I also have a goal this year which is to use more of my stamps!!! And when I saw the challenge over at  Scrapbook blessings  I knew I had the proper challenge to force myself to do just that.

Hello everyone!  It's time for the midway point for the  Path of positivity Challenge  - Generosity. Our fabulous sponsors are We always also have the following sponsors:  ,   and  For this midway post I'm using Edelweiss Cluster from  Ike's Art  it's part of the Switzerland bundle.  OK so you might be wondering why on earth I would choose this for my Generosity post... well I think that the most generous of all is Mother nature/God with all the wonderful flowers, plants, trees and animals!  And of course we as human rarely take the time to acknowledge this!!!  So this is why for this post it's about nature!

I'm  back :)  And this time I'm here to share a little card that I made especially for my little niece that will be turning 2 this spring!  Last year for the twins b-day I used some great images that I had gotten from Mo's Digital.  And I thought I should do the same again!  To me those digis are very special!!!  They are so real life!!!  And the perfect little kid images!  That's why I guess that even if I purchased these last year... I still had not colored them... hanging my head in shame... but they are especially special for my niece and nephew... So this year I'm using for the little Stella the great Beatrix with bear image!  I have another image all lined up for little Sidney lol but that will have to wait for a later date... I haven't made that one yet!!  Need the inspiration and that was here this time with the great challenge over at  Mo's digital challenge .  The challenge was "something new".  Well I happen t...
