Crafting Vicky

Snif snif this is my last post as a designer for Inky Impressions !  It's been great fun to be part of this awesome team.  As a parting make I wanted to use a great sentiment that reflects how I felt about this group  Berry Sweet Scallop Circle So here's my make with this sentiment.  Something a bit different.

I'm really into the fast recycled Christmas cards!!!  I think it's so awesome to give a new life to cards that would have ended in the recycling or the garbage (of course only store bought ones). I would love to share with you another one that I made, actually I made 2 out of this card how awesome right?!? Here's the card that I made

I'm back and this time for the awesome Irene!!!  She's such a sweet lady.  I'm can say I'm lucky enough to be on a team with her.  She's incredibly talented and always so positive!!! So I wish you a fabulous B-day!!!  I hope you are totally spoiled for this day and the rest of the year.  My card will eventually make it to your place lol might take a little while with the holidays... but it's on it's way. I hope you like the card that I made using the fabulous image that Betty created for us to use! The paper is from Wishes - Authentique.  I used some Queen and co pearls.  I added a little ribbon and bow.  I also used my great nesting ovals from Quickutz. Here's a closer look at the image colored with my copics.  The sentiment came with it. There's a whole lot of people participating in this hop here's the full list: Simply Betty Stamps featuring cards by Betty, Cynthia, Cat and Anne http://simplybettystamps.blogspot.com/ Jac...

Hello!  When I learned that there was going to be a blog hop for Corinne I just had to participate!  She's such a great lady even if she doesn't like Charlie Brown....  hee hee hee so just had to do a special b-day wish for her... now she just might unfriend me... hope not! Sorry Corinne I couldn't resist... But I did make another card that I know you will like a lot more!!!  And here it is just for you!!!  It might take awhile to reach destination with the holidays and stuff and it coming from Canada... but I really hope that you like it!  It was made with lots of love for you in mind. I hope you have a fabulous B-day and all your wishes come true! The image for the card was drawn by Betty of  Simply Betty  specially for Corinne. The paper that I used for this is from Authentique - Wishes.  I used some Queen and Co goosebumps - gotten as a gift from Erin (thank you sweetie).  I used my Nesting Frame 3 from Quickutz....

I hope you are having a great day.  I wanted to share with you the card for the progressive challenge over at  Digistamps 4 joy-sa .  I know I'm cutting it super close to the challenge end.  YIKES... it's hard to keep track of the days with the kids home for the holidays. Here's my card with this great image that I got as a freebie for playing in last month. For this card I decided to go with gold and blue :)

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas.  It was quiet here but I'm still tired lol.  Today I wanted to make some cards... but didn't feel like doing much... so figured I would try something that I've been wanting to do which is Recycle some of the store bought Christmas cards that I got. I always keep the homemade cards!  But I can't store all the store bought ones.  So those usually end up in the recycling.  Last year I had seen Hazel doing that and I thought it was very clever. So here's one of my 1st one using a Traditional color scheme.  I also used some great velvet ribbon that I got as a Christmas gift.  My mom brought me all sorts of left over ribbons and such in a big Santa bag!!!  Best gift EVER.

Hello everyone!  It's already time for the midway post over at  Open-minded crafting fun   This time the challenge is all white. The sponsors are , ,  ,  and  I have to admit to me that's a bit hard...  But then I got an idea and used it for a gift for the after school care educator of my son.  I made a little snow globe with a great image from Sami Stamps called 2 birds And I left the image as is.  I think it's turned out quite elegant. Here's a look when it's snowing I'm entering this globe in the following challenges: Creative knockouts  - anything goes Simon says stamp blog  - Anything goes The papernest dolls challenge  - Anything goes Hope you enjoy your Saturday!!!!  Here it's pj day... so very very relax.  Even more than usual :) Hugs

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments my dear followers.  It really does make my day.  And I get so excited when I see that I have new followers :) I wanted to give you my good wishes while participating at  From the heartstamps  progressive challenge. I have to  admit that it's a good thing that coffee exists... because I still don't have my energy level back... and I would totally be non functional without it lol For this make I used the great image to make the calendar page for my hubby's gift calendar.  It's nice to be doing something different with the digis and to know that he will be seeing my art every month!

I'm back for my last post of the day.  Time I'm sharing with you a SUPER fast card again with one of my totally favorite set from   Doodle pantry  called  Canadian Goose   I used the precolored image for a fast card. I paired the goose with the accessory set  Santa Accessories And here's my card in Total traditional Christmas colors :)  I printed the gift twice and fussy cut and made it 3d

I don't know about you but I find that by this time around I really need fast and easy little Christmas cards for the last minute.  So I'm here to share with you a little card that I made for  Inky impressions rubberstamps For this I used the great sentiment  Cookies for Santa So here's my second card with this awesome sentiment.

Hello everyone!  I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a new Year filled with Health and happiness. It's my turn to post the inspirational post on the blog over at Art by Mi Ran  and I decided to go with the theme of the month which is Snowflakes. I decided to play with the super cute  Ice Skater Macy .  You can see how different my card is from Ruza's yesterday. Here's my card!  I did using my favorite colors for clothes :)  Turquoise and some grey

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Top Tip Tuesday  and this time around it's about making your own. The sponsor for this challenge is And for my card I'm using the super fun Scene it snowmen fun.  I decided for this challenge to make my own stick pin and here's my tip for it.  For those you can use some corsage pins and some beads. In order to glue them together use some glossy accent. It dries clear and is a fine enough tip not to make a mess on your entire stick pin. Here's the card with the stick pin

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new release over at  SLS lines  and this new release is just perfect to get your Valentine's day craft done!!!! It's a blog hop!!!  So you should be here from  Valou  if not go back here for the start at  Sls lines . I decided to use this digi for a calendar I'm making my hubby! The digi is the fab  Heart Girl .

Hello everyone!  It's time for the midway Christmas challenge over at  Paradise of Stamps . For this point I decided to use a great digi from  Zuri Digital Stamps  called Leticia

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind FB group  and this time around it's about Merry Quirkmas!  So find something Quirky!!! :) To me that totally meant Creepmas.... and right now I think I probably look like this image!  This year it's been really really difficult getting ready for Christmas... my hubby is trying his hardest... but he's not used to shopping lol so it's not easy to get all the gifts done and ready! So here's my card using an Halloween image that I paired with a great Christmas sentiment.

Hello!  How are you all doing?  I'm exhausted from having all the kids at home and excited about Christmas and it's just the 1st day of their 2 wks vacation lol Anyway I'm here to share with you a little card that was made with a great new set from Doodle pantry called  Canadian Goose   I used the precolored image for a fast card. I paired the goose with the accessory set  Winter Accessories And here's my card in non traditional Christmas colors :)  I so feel like this goose right now... I would totally fly somewhere warm!!!

Hello!  I'm here with my last post as a DT with Delicious Doodles :(  I'm sooo sad about the VAT law that is making so many digi companies shut down.... the good news is that you will still be able to purchase awesome images but not directly... you will have to go through  Card-making-downloads . Enough with the sadness for this challenge  Delicious Doodles Challenges  for this time around it's Welcome the new year!  And I have to admit I'm QUITE ready to have the new year come.  2014 really really sucked so it will be good to change the page.  And I'm mostly hoping for good health in 2015!  Something that lacked in 2014... as well as all sorts of other crap lol For this make I made a tag using the image  Romantic clock face

I'm here to share with you a new release image from  The East Wind .  This time around it's a totally gorgeous Angel! Here's the card that I made using this stunning image.  Such fun coloring this hair!  I decided to go for a non traditional Christmas look... it seemed fitting with this image.

I've been making little gifts... I figured that it would give me a reason to color... there's not much I can do and I can't do it for very long but it calms me when I do color.  So I have been making little snowglobes (changing the picture inside for a colored image) and my kids made the comment that it wasn't fair since they didn't get some... that I was making them for others and not for home. I remember as a kid totally loving to play with snowglobes.  There's something magical about that and you can stare at it for a long time.  Maybe that's why as well I'm making them lol being nostalgic since this Christmas is not like the others... Anyway... I'm here to share with you one that I made for my daughter.  Good thing that she doesn't check out my blog!  It's using a super cute image from  Gerda Steiner  for the progressive challenge.  I used the super cute Angel with lights.

Hello!  It's time to share with you my make for the hosting of Sparkle and glitter a second page from my calendar project my youngest son's teacher.  He gave it to her yesterday... I have yet to find out if she liked it... Hope she did!  I'm always a bit scared giving homemade gifts even if they take forever to make! Anyway,  there were some great images from RSD to use for it.  So the 2nd make that I'm sharing is for the month of January 2015 using a fab image from the zibbet store called  Snowman with Squirrel .  I thought it was perfect for the cold month of January!!!  Perfect time to make snowman :) It was so fun to color.  I followed the instructions from an animal coloring class that I took to make the little squirrel.  Pretty happy with the result

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you my card that I did with a great sentiment for Inky impressions rubber stamps  that can be found  here .  Don't know about you but as the holidays get near I really need fast and easy cards and this doesn't get much faster and easier! So here's my card with this fabulous sentiment

Hello!  I needed a quick little B-day card!  And so I turned to the great images over at  Karleigh Sue Digis   and I used the awesome   I heart owl .

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Digi Chooseday  and this time it's Last minute Christmas. For little last minute cards I just think the option of the precolored images are just so awesome!  So I used a great one from the set  Christmas joy bundle .  The great paper and the sentiment are from the Work & Play 5, Festive Hollybobs,  Download  and also on  CD

Hello!  It's time for the midway post over at  Path of positivity challenge  and this time around the challenge is Faith.  It's a pretty good challenge I think for this time of year! The great sponsors this time around are: ,   and  For this midway post  I used the fabulous image  Christmas candle digital  from Pickled Potpourri. I thought it was a great image to illustrate Faith.  To me Faith is pretty much like the flame it burns very strongly in your heart!  And it can help you see the way when all is dark around you.

What a busy busy day on my blog lol   It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles designs  and this time around it's about the Season!!!  So perfect for your Christmas cards :) For my card I decided to go purely Canadian!!!!  I used the great image  Too moose-jingle .  Just love this great image!!!  So perfect for Rustic feeling cards!!!
