Hello everyone!  This is my very last post as a DT for SLS lines !  It's been a really fun adventure but now it's time for me to move on.  I will totally miss this great group and would highly suggest that you apply to the DT call because you will LOVE it!!!!!! For my last post I wanted to make something that I could send out to a friend.  That is one of the new resolution that I have to send out more mail to friends.  So I'm trying to make smaller items that will be appreciated :)  I used the fabulous  Love birds floral set  because all the fab elements are precolored so it makes it very easy to use.  I actually prepared the entire tag on my computer and then printed it out!!!  Easy peasy. I actually used 2 different hearts from the set and put them in different size.  I also used the little birds and put them on the little branch that is also in the set.  Once it was printed I distressed the edge of the tag and put a ...

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  SLS lines challenge .  And this time around you will LOVE it because it's anything goes!!!  YUP anything you want!!!!  How fabulous is that?!? For my make I used the great Goth Girl Teddy to make a little Christmas card out of the norm :) Here it is for you

Ok so I don't know about you.... but I always ALWAYS end up being late.... not matter how far in advance I start for Christmas.  I always end up adding people to my mailing list, adding home made items WHATEVER always end up late.  And this year as I was telling my husband how I should have started earlier (I started the Christmas card in January, and the gifts in April) he said how I would still end up adding things to my list.... hmmmm.... well he is probably RIGHT. But I'm sure that I'm not the only one right?!? RIGHT?!? please do tell me that I'm not the only one?!?  For my make for the SLS inspiration blog I decided to make a super fast and easy card.  So I really really love the precolored set that are available over at SLS LINES etsy store like this fab  Christmas Graphic set 1  because all the fab elements are all there for you!  They are precolored and you can just print them and go!  How fab is that?!?  This card must have taken ...

Hello!  I'm back with a new release image from SLS Lines called Crazy Aunt .  Love that funny character :)  She was just perfect for a little fun Christmas journaling!!!! I played with some paints for this as well as some free stencils that I got from a magazine.  I added some left over papers and a little doily that I ripped apart.  The digi was colored with my copics.  I asked Paulette from  Create with TLC  for help with the sentiments to go with this image!  She sent me those 2 and they have been part of the fab new club.  If you are not in it you have missed out!!! But you can now purchase these here .

I totally ADORE doing mix media.  And when I do that I try to reuse my paint as much as possible.  So while making something I will use the left over on some little index cards.  And 1st thing I know I have some very cute little backgrounds.  This is what I decided I wanted to use today to share with you some inspiration! I know that there are lots of Cat fans everywhere and I don't know if you know but SLS Lines has the cutest little cat set ever  Cat set . And since it was my turn to host the inspiration blog over at  SLS Lines  I really wanted to use one of those cutie pie on my make and here it is. Isn't he cute?!?  He was colored using my copics and I used my sharpie fine liner to add some whiskers. The sentiment is from Create with TLC I'm entering this little index card in the following challenges: Craft rocket challenges  - Add a sentiment Word art wednesday  - Anything goes 2 creative chicks  - Anything ...

Hello everyone!  It's Thursday!  YAY getting closer to the weekend and the time that I can craft again.  Miss crafting lol.  But love the job so that's all good. I'm here today to share with you a little make that I did for SLS Lines challenge .  This time around it's about Fall colors.  And I decided to use a non typical fall image!  I used a great little kitty that I thought would be great fun.  You can find Hipster Cat here . I've been making lots of mixed media pieces recently and when I do I usually have some left over paints.  Those get put on some index cards like this one and make some fab backgrounds for future projects.  I have to say I've been watching lots of videos and learning that along lol. For this one I used my sharpie to make the little border. The sentiment is from  Create with TLC  and was edged with some Vintage photo distress ink. I colored this little guy with my copics and did him a bit like m...

As Halloween approaches we are all gearing up for some zombie fun aren't we?!?  And of course SLS has some of the greatest and funnest zombies!  For my inspiration make I chose to use some cute zombies... yes I did say CUTE they were people too at one point right?!?  And well some transform cuter than others :P  the set that I used is  Zombie set cute . I used 2 of them zombie number 2 and number 5 to make this little card.

It's already time for a new challenge over at  SLS Lines Digital  and this time around it's BOO just perfect for Halloween! For my make I did a little postcard that I sent to someone special  using the fab  Pumpkin Patch . Here's my make with this. I colored this digi with my copics.  I added some stickers from the dollarstore as well a sentiment from  Create with TLC .  I used some washi tape all around and the papers were some left overs in my stash.

You can see the complete album made with my cards on this video And here are the altered cards that I made with those little monsters. I used all kinds of paint on those and great sentiments from  Create with TLC .  I used eyelets on all of them to be able to put them on the album.  The images were colored with my primacolor pencils. I'm entering these in the following challenges: Crafting from the heart challenge  - anything goes Get creative challenges  - Fantasy - I figure monsters are fantasy characters :) Where the heart is challenge  - Add some text That's it for today.  Hope you liked this.

Hey!  It's time already for a new challenge over at  SLS Lines  and this time it's about monochromatic. Well that can be sort of a challenge but I thought right away that I wanted to do something in black and white and that can be super COOL.  So I used the fabulous  Awkward man  for this.  He just seems so very sad... and black and white was just perfect for this.

Hi everyone!  It's time for my August release over at  SLS lines digis .  And this one was a perfect one in the journal that I did for Journaling by 5s. I just have to say how I loved that process and how freeing it was.  You can check out this via my youtube channel  Crafting Vicky Here's the finished page that I did once I did the free time play with it using the great  Fantasy Shaman Once I did all the process this was one of the pages that I was not able to get to for the doodling.... but I really want this journal to stay intact... so I'm using the left hand side to comment what I have done to the page on the right since the initial 5 steps.  The stamps used on these pages are from Unity stamps. I'm really liking how mysterious this page turned out.  The image was colored with my copics.  I did add some gold accent with the sharpie pen.  The sentiment is from  Create with TLC I added some of the gold back because i...

Hello everyone! Yup I'm sharing a nude!  But if you read my post you will understand why I journaled this!  It's a message for me and for all my friends that don't like their bodies! I don't know if you have seen my post in the SLS FB group but I have been doing the journaling by 5s.  And I used a great pin up from SLS lines for one of the pages  Pin up Nude . The layout was done while doing the steps and I finally finished the page this morning.  I really hope that you like this page. My sentiment behind it is that we don't accept our bodies and ourselves and we really should no matter what shape we are! From the journaling by 5 to this layout I have completed the left hand side with my thinking while doing this page.  I added some doodling as this was one of the page that I had not completed in the 15 minutes allowed.  I added some washi tape and lace tape.  The washi tape is a measuring one because we are always measuring ourselves.......

Well it's time for a new challenge over at  SLS Lines  and this time it's Summer!  So I figured it would be the perfect time to use the super cute little  Cute Monster  which I thought would be perfect for my calendar page for the month of August. Because whether or not you want it Christmas is coming.... and I want to make sure that my gifts are ready and a little desk top calendar is always a gift that is appreciated.  So I have decided to make a few videos to share with you how I'm making them!  Here's my video to share how I made the month of August! Here's the look of it on picture but I sure hope you look at the video :) I used all sorts of left over pieces of paper and I think that is a great way to use them!  I also added a little flower sticker that I had.  The calendar can be downloaded here .  The cute little monster was colored with my copics here's the list (YR16, YR20, W5,W6, YG03,YG05, YG17, YG25, YG99, Y04) I'm...

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new release over at  SLS Lines  .  Got to love those fab images! For my make I used the fabulous  Quiet sitting fairy .  I used her in my total junk journal that I made for a friend.  I thought she would be the perfect image for the message that I wanted to send her. I used a Unity stamp with her. The left hand page is done with some gelli printing over a leaflet from the real estate agent.  I used some left over papers that I inked with my black memento ink.  I used my pearl effect die from Spellbinder.  The background to the fairy was done with my gelatos. Here's a closer look at the digi colored with my copics. I'm not entering this in any challenges because I'm on vacation :)  So that's my little vacation but I still wanted to share with you the great image. Have a great Wednesday. Hugs

Well it's the last challenge over at  Open Minded crafting Fun challenge .  It's been a great adventure with lots of fabulous sponsors, DT and co-owners! This last challenge is about kids having fun! Our sponsors are:   , ,   and For my make I used a great image from SLS Lines called Robot  and it's super cute for a b-day card for a child.

Hello everyone!  We are doing the Christmas in July challenge over at  SLS Lines  and the image that I decided to use for this is from a set that is precolored!  So awesome when you don't feel like coloring it's  Ninja penguins I just thought that would be the perfect image for the non typical Christmas card..... The paper that I used for this comes from an actual Christmas set.... surprising right?!?  It's from Jillibean soup - Holly Berry Borscht.  I used other sentiments from  Create with TLC  and added some hand written words to the 1st one.... the bling is from Studio G gems.  I used my black soot distress ink to distress it and used my fancy tags 2 from spellbinder and my Stamping up project  life dies for the tags.  The snowflake was done with my tattered lace snowflake die. I hope you like my non traditional Christmas card :) I'm entering this card in the following challenges: 12 months of christmas linkup...

Hello everyone! I'm getting ready for my vacation and that means a vacation Smash album to record the camping memories.  So what is better to decorate the pages than some fabulous digis?!?  For this page I'm trying to get Mother Nature on our side and get some fabulous sunshine using the great digi  Pretty Sunshine  from SLS Lines as my inspiration post for this month. Last year I did the pages of my album while camping and that's fun as well but I don't have as many supplies to color and to just add details as I do from home! And that's what happened here as I would not have had the lettering to do this at the camping site! I don't know for you but my kids come back after they are finished school with lots of books that are halfway done.... so I decided this year to keep some of the pages and that's what I used here to be able to journal on pages that would otherwise not be used since there's pictures on them. The digi was colored using my pan p...

I really love the new release images from  SLS Lines  you can get them Voodoo King  and Voodoo Queen  and I just thought they would be perfect for making some little door hangers. I found those door hangers that you can use chalk on at the dollar store.  And just thought I would make something with them for sure!  At the time I wasn't sure. And when I saw this great couple of images I just knew this would be perfect for my son and his girlfriend! I left the chalk on them but changed the boring elastic for some hair band that I thought would be more fun. The letters that I used are from Anna Griffin and from October Afternoon.  I colored the 2 images with my copics and then fussy cut them out. They came out pretty cool and they were well liked by the recipients so that's all that matters really isn't it?!? I'm entering those in the following challenges: Left of center challenges  - Well I did add the fiber... but I still think this ...

Hello everyone, it's my turn to post inspiration over at SLS lines digi stamps ! I was making a little pocket letter and I thought that I would use some of the very fun little monsters from the set  Monster digi set  and that they would totally brighten up the little ATCs that I made for it. The background for those ATC were made with some oil pastel, stencils and baby oil.  I colored them up with my copics and then fussy cut them out. Aren't they just so funny?!?  You could make so many fun makes with those. The sentiments that I used are all from  Create with TLC . I'm entering those little ATCs in the following challenges: Chalk n stock  - use some chalks - I used some oil pastels for the backgrounds Creative knockouts  - Humorous card - I figured ATC cards would be ok.... Sassy studio designs  - Anything goes That's it for me for now... but I will be back later with more! Hugs
