Crafting Vicky

I finally KICKED my butt and got some of my calendars from the JB5 process where I had done 24 backings finished (well the front part anyway).  And I made a video out of it to share with you.  This time however it's not a fast forward one.... it's one where I actually speak throughout.... So LONG (warning you in advance). Pretty happy 6 done 18 more to go?!? YIKES when will that be done .....anyway.... If I want to have a chance to put the calendars in my Etsy store I need to get going.... plus it's something to keep me busy and hopefully feeling worthy of SOMETHING.... Here's the video that I made if you don't mind hearing me for a long time.... (you can put the speed at double on Youtube btw if you want to hear me in speed version). and here are the pictures of what I did. All the calendars used calendars from here . For this 1st October one the image is from Birdy Brown it was a freebie called Gnome boy fall and unfortunately the store is closed now :(

If you are here for the special blog hop for Lisa it's here . This post is now for the latest challenge over at  Meljens designs dt  and this time it's a really hard challenge for me... off the edge!!! Have something of the edge of your cards!!!!! That is one challenge that I dreaded!!!!  I had noooo idea what to make and how to do this.  I don't have stuff hanging out of my cards...EVER!!!! I love that people do. But I don't!  So this was really a challenge for me!  I came across this super cute little image and then thought hmmm he would be flying of the card right?!?  So that gave me the idea!  So I'm using the cute  Autumn Leaf mouse
