Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  Super excited and tired here.... lol started the new job and I totally love it!  But man I'm tired with learning and cramming in so much in my little pea brain! I'm here to share with you a new video that I have made with my latest calendar series.  This time it's the winter months!  So December, January and February.  I used the backgrounds that I had made using the JB5 series. Here's my video and here are the individual calendars The papers are all left overs from my scrap piles.  The calendars can be found here . This is using Christmas Candles from Delicious Doodles Here is using a little stamp from House Mouse called Santa's little helper For the month of January I used Meljen's little snowboy  And Karen Middleton - Snuggle penguin and for February I have used Heart 2 from Crafty Secrets  And Heart doodle from Scribble Design Hope you like those and will check out my video!!!! Hugs

Ok so yes I wasn't well today... it's a good thing that I crafted a lot on previous days...  I'm here to finally blog a little card that I made with some fabulous inspiration from this picture from a great challenge called  Pinspirational challenges  they always have some fabulous pictures to inspire us!  And I will share at the bottom of the post the picture. I also wanted to play with the House Mouse fall challenge!  So this was the perfect opportunity to pull out the great stamp from Joanna Sheen Autumn Tumble JSHM020.  I've been promising myself to use my stamps more!  I seem to really neglect them.  And since I really loooove the house mouse well this is the perfect opportunity.

I'm super happy to be the guest designer this week over at  Joanna Sheen challenge .  It's such an honour to be amongst such a talented team!!!! I had the pleasure of working with my newest CD which is House Mouse Triple CD collection and that can be found here .  I also used some of my newest signature dies from Joanna Sheen.  Just love those dies they cut through card stock like butter!!! For this card I decided to get a head start on Christmas!!!  And used the fabulous Decoupage 307 for this. It's my 1st time using a decoupage sheet and it will not be my last.  It really was fun!!!

No I'm not taking drugs lol I realize that with a title like that it might make you think that I am...  I came home late again... worked 'til 7pm again... and got in early and ate at my desk... yup pretty crazy time!  Anyway, I figured I needed some craft time just for the fun of it... no expectations, just fun. So I turned to some new stamps that I had purchased on sale over at Joanna Sheen.  Just loooove that store, free shipping after purchase of  £9 i ncluding over seas!!!  How fabulous.  And good prices and products.  And super fast delivery.  So yup... I go shopping there... too much actually.  Anyway that's not the point... the point is I got around to using the great little House Mouse stamp set Feathered Friends - Flying high.  I thought it was just perfect to play in the new challenge over at House Mouse and friends which is transportation... and also at the Joanna Sheen challenge which is Pink. So here's my card with this ...

Hello everyone!!!  I have finally played with my house mouse stamps!!!!  At least one of them ;o)  I have felt totally intimidated to actually play with them because the cards made with them are soooo awesome... and well my cards are pretty ordinary...  So I totally went all out!!!  And I have done so to be able to play in a few challenges. I also have received my gorgeous dies from Joanna Sheen and just NEEDED to try them out ;o)  I also got a bunch of other House mouse stamps that were on sales... yup... what can I say I'm an addict ;o) So I really went embellishment crazy... hope you like it!!!

Today was the best last day EVER to our camping trip.  I got to meet the fabulous folks behind House Mouse designs.  I had e-mailed them because I was staying in Vermont and the cute little craft store that was selling their stamps was closed!!!  So very sad right?!?  Especially since the only store in Montréal that I've seen with their stamp is also closing... So discovering their website I did something that I never ever do I wrote them!  I'm usually way to shy to dare do something like that.  But I soooo love their stamps... so I wanted to know where I could find them.  Since they are based from Vermont really close to where I was staying, I thought there might be some other local store.  Barry one of the owner's answered me (so fast actually I was super happy) and gave me some addresses and then to my complete surprise gave me the option of going to his house where they had some stamps  that I could browse through!!!!!!  Ohhhhh you...
