Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share a quick post of some ATCs that I did for a swapping group :)  We had a theme of Fantasy.  So that was the great excuse to use a digi from Floppy Latte Design called Fairy Flower. I kept a monochromatic look I think it's more dramatic :)  I had to make 10 of them.  And here they are.

Goodevening!  Here's my last post of the day... yup it was one very busy Monday on my blog ;o)  If you are looking for Calypso b-day hop it's here . So for this post it's about the newest challenge over at  Path of positivity challenge .  And this time it's about Hope.  How perfect right for Breast Cancer Awareness month?!? Our sponsors this time around are   and  For my post I used an image from Floppy Latte called Shaded bottom flower corner.  For my creation I didn't  go with the pink.  I decided to go with purple. To me there's so much to hope for!  And when you have hope you can really soar above the problems because you know that it will be ok.  There's a higher power taking care of you.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  OSAAT .  This time our challenge for you is Autumn! This time I had the pleasure of working with an image from Floppy Latte called Single Sunflower that you can find here . I thought it was the perfect image for a fall card!

Hello everyone, it's time for another challenge over at  One stitch at a time , this time it's about using something green (recycle or use the color green). So for my card I used the fabulous digi goodmorning glory from Floppy Latte Design. For this card I used my mind's eye - on the bright side.  I used my Label 13, scallop circle and classic circle dies from Spellbinder.  I used my new Joy craft corner die (yup a new die... I'm an addict!!!).  I used some bling from my stash. Here's a closer look at the digi colored with my copics and my sentiment from  Create with TLC . I hope you will be joining us and check out the wonderful creations from my fellow DT members. I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Digi haven  - Green Polka doodle  - Spring flowers Simply create too  - St-Patrick or use mostly green Hiding in my craftroom  - Use mostly green Whoopsi Daisy challenge  - Use a sentiment So th...

This week over at  Tammy's Scrapin corner  our challenge is about fall inspiration. And for you we have some amazing sponsors again:   and  and  I really have trouble doing just one card... so I ended up with 2 yet again... For my 1st card I used a wonderful digi from Doodle Dragon called 12 goody 54b. For this card I used some paper from We r memory makers - Autumn splendor.  I used my label 22 and my fancy framed tags 1 from Spellbinder.  The ribbon is from the dollar store.  I used some brads from Eyelet Outlet.  I also added some of my wonderful Robin's Nest Dew drops. I colored the image with my copics and I did it twice to be able to pop up the arms and the squirrel :D  The picture looks a bit fuzy because it's concentrating on the squirrel I guess... The digi is one that was part of a wonderful club over at  Create with TLC . Just love the sentiments from there!!!! Here's a look at my 2nd card for this...

Hello everyone!  This week at  One stitch at a time challenge  it's about Butterfly or buttons. I decided to get ahead again!  I made another Christmas card.  I used Christmouse from the fabulous Floppy Latte Design.  You can find it at Stitchy Bear Stamps . For this little Christmas card I used paper from my mind's eye - Be merry.  I used classic circle and scallop circle for the digi and the paper underneath. I colored this little mouse with my copics and then I used stickles on the sentiment as well as the hat. I hope that you will be joining us at  One stitch at a time challenge .

This week at  Tammy scrapin corner  it's Anything goes!!!!  I know you just loooove that don't you ;)  And we have 2 great sponsors :  and  How fun is that.  Not only can you play with anything you want but you get a chance to win fantastic prizes. This week I decided to do 2 cards.  The 1st one is from Floppy Latte Design and is called Ship V.  It can be found at Stitchy bears Digital stamps. I decided to go for a monochromatic look for this card.  I thought it would look like a masculine card!  I don't  make a lot of those...  I used papers that I had in my stash and added a button and some twine. My 2nd card is made with an image from Robert Jackson called a hard day's work.  It's definetely fitting for 2 reasons.  The 1st one because I did a lot of shopping while in the states... and the 2nd because today I'm going back to work :( For this card I used some paper from K& Cie and used som...

Well this is my 2nd post of the day ;)  Busy Monday!  This time it's my card for  Digi darlas  challenge and this week it's Celebrate Dad.  Just in time for Father's day.  Our sponsor this week is one of my favorite store: We had some amazing images to work with please check out the other fabulous card from our other DT.  And some created some amazing cards using Digi darlas images!   I used Glitterbabe - Handyman dad it can be found in Floppy Lattés design store.  It was perfect for my dad's card since he helped us so much with our renovations. I colored him up with my copics and created a sentiment that was fitting for my dad.  I also used unusual embellishments ;)  I went shopping in my husband's garage for some nails, bolts and washers.  Here's a closer look: I just thought it was perfect for this card! I'm entering it in the following challenges: Dude time doodles  - Boys and their toys (my 3rd ...

Hello everyone!!!!  I missed my blog.  Yesterday and today I was in meetings all day and last night I had a school board meeting.... those are very long day!  Especially after being able to craft for 4 days.  So I really missed it. Tonight I created a card that was requested by my SIL.  She wanted a birthday card for her mom.  And asked if it could be Victorian type.  I figured that I should use a beautiful silhouette image by Floppy Latte Design.  You can find it at Stichy bear stamps.  It has two wonderful little angels. For those of you that follow my blog you will know that my SIL just had 2 months ago beautiful twins.  A boy and a girl.  This image reminded me of them.  I figured that this would be perfect for the grandma ;) To create this I used some of my new nestabilities shape.  I also added some Robin's nest dew drops. I followed this great sketch: I would like to enter this card in the follo...

I received great news last night!  I'm now a proud member of the  Jacksons digital expressions  DT team ;)))) so very excited.  As you could see in my left sidebar, I had partaken in some challenge already and just thought they were really awesome.  So very happy to be in their team. Now for tonight's post, I had a request to make a mother's day.  I made another card using the great Hat Silhouette from Floppy Latte.  I just loved that image on the 1st card.  This time I used my brand new beaded oval nestabilities to go around it. I used the stormy sky distress ink on the ovals around.  I also put 2 ribbons... it doesn't show very well but there's one underneath the sentiment and one in the button ;)  just love doing that! I think it turned out quite elegant even if it was using my scraps of papers! I'm entering it in the following challenges: Party time tuesdays  - Mum's the word Robyns fetish  - blue, button and ...

As mentioned in my previous post I would like to have a few mother's day card ready for this week.  I figure there might be a few colleague who need them last minute. I had gotten a few weeks ago a great digi from  Stitchy bear stamps .  They have wonderful artist.  This one is from Floppy Latte Design and it's called Over the top from the hat silhouette series. I used the new technique that I had learned yesterday with Stardust Jewel glitter ritz. I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: One stitch at a time challenge  - mother's day with digi Deconstructing jen  - Sketch Ok going back for some more creating ;) Vicky xo

Today I was really lucky.  Even if my husband left to see his mother with 2 of my kids, the other 2 were old enough and responsible enough that I could still go away for a bit.  I went to a crop day offered by Scrapbook Centrale, with 2 friends Chrystiane and her daughter Shanny. I colored for a big part of the day and learned a new technique with a make and take.  Of course I wanted to try it out... so I bought the sparkles to be able to do it too.  I had just the perfect image to use it with and found the perfect sketch for it. Here's my card: I used a great digi image that I found on Stitchy Bear Stamp which is by Floppy Latte Design.  It's called Wishful thinking. I used Jewel Glitter Ritz powder that I burnished. And the paper is from K & cie.  The sentiment is from Impression obsession. I used this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Eat sleep stamp  - sketch Digi darlas  - Thinking of you...
