Crafting Vicky

I did something tonight that I never do... I made something that is completely different than a card.  It's a journal.  This journal will be used to record our camping memories when we go to Vermont camping. I do scrap-booking... and since I'm quite a few years back I figured that it would be fun to have a recording of our 2 weeks of camping.  And of course it can be written by the adults, or my 4 kids.  Which will be fun at a later date to see their handwriting.  Of course since it's in the state Red, White and Blue where perfect colors for this project.   There are so many challenges going on with this color I thought it would be great fun. Here's my journal before I started out: I bought this at the dollar store for 2$.  I then went all out with the paper and the stamp ;) And this is what happened: I used a bunch of leftover paper from all kinds of project including some paper from my Disney scrapbooking album.  I used a...

Wow my internet is still there... I'm knocking on wood!!!! I created the card that I was thinking about today.  Except... of course there had to be one... initially I was thinking that I was going to do a card with a girl... and now my girl... turned into a dog... still a lady but a dog lol.  I think she's sooo cute!  Just love her.  Here she is: I used one of the stamps from Canine Capers 2 from Kraftin Kimmie, a charm I got at Zellers (yes I'm canadian lol) and some papers from previous cards.  The sentiment I had gotten at Omer Deserres on special!  It's perfect for a mother's day.

This is my very 1st blog ;0  Hope I do it ok... I've been looking on the net for products and inspiration for a long time.  Now I want to try to inspire others (maybe one day) and have fun in the process.  I discovered challenges  YAY so I will participate in them.  Here's my 1st card for the night: I f I understand the blogging world... you try to describe what you used to make the card.  So in this case it was American Craft Happy B-Day paper that was 2 sided.  I also used a cereal box cardboard ;)  for the square in the back and I used distress ink to age it up. The stamp is from the set Canine Capers 2 - Kraftin Kimmie and the sentiment from Hero Art.  I also used the sketch following to make it (that really does help creativity). So I'm entering this little card in the following challenges: Love to create challenge  - one for the boys and the sketch Dutchdare-cardchallenges  - cute and cuddly (i think this little...
