Crafting Vicky

Hello to all!  I had the immense pleasure of playing with Moppets -Millicent one of the digis from the new digis from  Lacy Sunshine . She's totally adorable and so very sad.  I was a bit stumped as to which sentiment to use with her... until I saw a fabulous set from  Create with TLC  that I'll show you later.  I thought it went perfect with this little digi.

It's March and Spring is in the Air when a young man's fancy turns to fishing and a young girl's fancy turns to a new wardrobe!!! Ok, maybe not but there are so many things out that there to symbolize Spring Has Sprung .... We have a talented group of crafters participating today to show their interpretation of SPRING . . . .

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Lacy sunshine challenge blog .  This time our challenge is about double trouble ;)  So double things up! For my card I used the wonderful digi Aventure Jamie & Maddie and the Aventure digi bits.  From the moment  I saw this fabulous digi I knew that I wanted to make a scene with them... So I did something that I had never done before, I created a scene digitally!  I used 3 different photos merged together to do the background and used the wonderful digi bits for the crocs and plants. I didn't use much embellishments other than the image... I only added some robin's nest dew drops.  The digi had already 2 characters, and I used 2 crocs and all the plants are doubled up. For the digi bits and image I colored with my copics.  I printed the plants twice and fussy cut them out to be able to pop them up and give some dimension.  The sentiment comes from  Create with TLC .  I used my deckled rectangle large from

OK so I did all cute and cuddly cards... now after a full day of crafting... I just HAD to let the darker version come out as well ;) For this card I used the wonderful digi Buggz... a lil voodoo you can find it on this page .  I stayed in the grey, black and white ;)  Love that color combination. For this card I used some leftover paper and decided to go really CAS.  I used a punch to cut out the circles. Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics Doesn't she just look happy lol  Just loooove her!!!!  And when I got her, I sent a watermark image to Paulette over at  Create with TLC  to know if she had a sentiment to got with her.  Of course she found one ;) I'm really really spoiled!!!! Heeheeehee isn't this just awesome?!?  Here's the wonderful set that it's now in: And you can purchase it here . I followed this awesome sketch to make it: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: CAS colour

Hello Everyone!!!  I had such a super fun day!  Lots of crafting for future DT work.  And of course some play time just for ME!!! This is one of them... Now this is a dark creation... well I totally blame Heather Valentine for making such awesome images.  And you can get this one for just 1$$$$ over at Lacy Sunshine shop . So yes of course it's her fault lol There was a few darker challenges that I wanted to enter.  What can I say I need to get this part of me satisfied... I do lots of cute cards... but I also need the darker side satisfied...  I totally love all the fantasy and vampire/gothic style... so NEED to do something with it as well. For this card I used some paper that I had left overs from a previous card ;)))  I used my scallop and classic circle large dies from Spellbinder.  I added some feathers.  In the bottom are some buttons as well as 2 little Robin's nest dew drops.  I used my CM border punches to make the 2 rows across. Here's a closer look

Ok I'm addicted lol.  Just love doing ATCs ;)  And just love working with the fabulous digis from Heather Valentine!!!!  And you can get some here for only 1$$$$.  She keeps adding new ones lol. This time I decided to use one from her called Zobbie Zombie to make some ATC (well 2) and that was enough... Heather's digis are really detailed... so doing them that small is not easy lol I didn't play at Wicked Wednesday ATC last week... and just HAD to play this week!!! So here's my little ATC.  I figured my daughter would love getting one for valentine's day as she's really into anything goth, vampire or zombie related ;-)  I wonder who she takes this from... lol To make these I used my classic oval large and my large deckled rectangle from Spellbinder (used the smallest of the large dies lol).  I also used my Daisy patch from spellbinder to make the flower with some scraps.  I used a pearl brad for the center purchased at Eyelet outlet the heart is also

For my card I had the pleasure of working with the fabulous digi Abby Fortune Teller.  For this card I decided to go with a masculine feel because I have a card required soon and I thought this would be really awesome.

It's me again ;)  This time I have super exciting news to share with you!   Lacy Sunshine  was having a DT call.  I figured that I would probably not be chosen because I knew that some very talented people were trying out... but I also knew that if I didn't try I would never know and would regret not even giving it a chance. So I e-mailed Heather and crossed all my appendages lol  Well I made the TEAM!!!!!  WOOOOHOOOO so very very excited to be part of this amazing team and to get to create with those amazing digis. Well while I was waiting for the news... Heather has discounted soon to be retired digis... 2 pages full of wonderful digis for only 1$$$ each!  How cool right.  Well I went shopping big time (now don't tell my hubby lol) Tonight I created a card with the wonderful little Cute as a lil bug.  And of course this gave me the opportunity to use another one of the wonderful sentiment from  Create with TLC  that's part of the Love love amore set that you can

Mine Lil gothie line art, I had the perfect sentiment from  Create with tlc  in mind it's part of Valentine mix  set .

Good evening everyone!  Yesterday I spoiled myself ;)  Yup I finally bought some some digis from Heather Valentine.  Don't know if you know but you can only find her digis in her store now.  And the store is here . Right now she's retiring some digis and they are only at 1$$$.... so of course I went shopping and bought all of them... and today she added more... NOOOOO... so just had to purchase them as well ;) This being said I got the ones that I purchased yesterday today and of course just HAD to start playing with them... so instead of doing the sensible thing and doing my DT work... I played with my new digis ;) Now I have to share a secret with you guys... I really looooove anything to do with goth, vampire, witchs, etc.... I don't do a lot of cards with that because well lets be honest I don't  have a lot of friends that I could send this to... but tonight I did one just for me!  And I used a wonderful sentiment from  Create with TLC  that was part of
