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 :(...

Hello everyone!  Yup it's Monday!  And this means a challenge over at  Tammy's Scrapin corner . And this time our challenge for you is again a really really easy one!  It's Happy B-day!  So the perfect time to stock up on those b-day cards if you don't have one that is required! Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is: For my card I got to play with the so very cuuuuute Lala.  I decided to keep this card ultra CAS!!!  yup lots more than what I would do usually.  Don't know what's going on with me!  I either go CAS or lots of embellishments... lol

Hello everyone!  Yup it's Sunday and I got to play in my craft room!!!  Woohoooo just love when I get to do that. I had printed out the wonderful freebie from Birdie Brown and was sooooo anxious to do something with him.  And then I saw the sketch from Sketchy Friday Challenge ( it's a new challenge place), I didn't get to play last week but soooo wanted to so this was the perfect opportunity ;) For this card I used paper from Cloisonné by GCD.  I used my scallop circle and standard circle from Spellbinder.  I added a little ribbon and buttons from my stash. Here's a closer look at the great digi that I colored with my copics  I added some picked raspberry distress ink to the edge. And here's the great sentiment from  Create with TLC So to make this card I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Sketchy friday  - Sketch Word art wednesday  - Hearts - Anything goes Birdie brown...

For my Digi Darla hop post please go  here. So I have good news!!!!  I was able to get exempt from the jury duty!  Thank god because there are 2 coming up... and from what the judge mentioned they will last around 1 to 1 1/2 years!  That's 5 days a week...for a year 1/2.  Plus obviously at the end it will take the jury some time to review the evidence.  That would not have been good... So I used the fact that I have 4 kids!  The judge exempted me.  For once having those kids paid up lol.  Seriously it would not have been a good thing family wise.  Being out of work for so long... I was totally exhausted after this.  What a rollercoaster of emotions.  I would make one lousy criminal because I was a nervous basket case to talk to the judge and the lawyers to tell them that I was not a good choice. To relax tonight I made 2 cards.  I'm going to show you the 1st one. I used Retro TV from Birdie Brown as wel...

Today was a windy day here in MTL.  Perfect for lunch out on the deck... but not so much for pool time.  But that's it... so a great day to craft!!!!  YAY!  Got 4 cards done this afternoon.  2 for DT work and 2 just for the fun of it.  Just wish I had more days off!  I get so much done with 3 days!  Crafting as well as housecleaning and time with the kids. So the card I'm showing you now is obviously not for a DT... you will just have to wait for those.  It's a freebie that I found through a fellow DT at Tammy scrapin corner .  They had done a card for the challenge over at  Birdie Brown  using the freebie phone 01 that is provided (there's 2 that you can choose from).  And that freebie got us DT talking so much about the old phones... not sure I want to admit to this but I remember those....  I'm not going to say my age however lol.  I'll hide behind the fact that I was living in the country side ;)))) I ...
