 Hello everyone!  I hope you are all doing amazingly well no matter which part of the world you are in.  Here spring is finally showing it's face today after making an early April fool's joke on us on Friday with a random snow fall!  And I'm talking HUGE snowflakes coming down just like you would have during Christmas time... YIKES.  I can't take that snow ANYMORE lol  I really want to be able to let go of bundling up and wearing so much clothes. After being sick for the month of February, I have spent the month of March playing creatively!  And creating more content.  I really hope that you are enjoying that extra content.  If you are not why are you not a subscriber :)  You can find my channel here   You can actually find the video of the journaling out of the box where I made the freebie for you.  I created this image with words as well as free from words.  If you want the images just right click on them.  Please u...

 Oh my... I have not published here since June last year!  That's a long time.   I had such great plans in 2022 but I have to admit that what went on was even better than what I had planned.  However, I couldn't keep up with it all ( YouTube , Patreon , Etsy , my website , Instagram , my newsletter, the blog etc.) something had to give. Especially since I also have a full time job.  If it hadn't been for the full time job I'm sure that I would have been able to maintain more social content but with a 40h job and the project that I had going on it was impossible to do it all. If you haven't heard I bought a house that I converted into an apartment (to be rented) and a studio.  The studio is the basement part of the house and it has a garage, large room, a smaller room, a bathroom and a furnace room.  I have transformed the large room as my Etsy /office area and the smaller room into my studio/filming/craft space.  The garage is where I store a...

 The newsletter has been sent out!  YAY.  I got very worried this month that I wasn't going to make one up because my inspiration felt like it had taken a break.... I had a lot of fun playing outside however because it's been beautiful here without being super hot.  However my plants do need a lot of watering. That might be one of the reason that I wasn't too inspired to be sitting in my studio working.  But as many artist mention it if you sit down usually inspiration will just come.  And that's exactly what happened. I made 2 freebies for you all.  I hope you will enjoy them.  You can just right click on the images and save them on your computer. Don't forget these are for your personal use and are not to be shared with others.  Send them along if they want to have the freebies. If you want more freebies don't forget to register to my newsletter, you can do this on my website here:  www.craftingvicky.com.  I also have been giving ...

  I hope you are all doing well and that you have wonderful weather as we have been having here. It is as warm as summer days right now and after a cold week last week I'm very happy with this change.  I'm looking forward to gardening soon.  As soon as the nights get warmer I should be able to get some fresh fine herbs!  YUM!!!!  And this year I will be planting a lot of beans because I have had a lot of success last year in the greenstock towers!  I might share some pictures of this either here or in my newsletter. The nice weather inspired the drawing of this month.  It's still much too early to see dragonflies but they will be coming soon I guess.  I used one of my photo painty paper backgrounds to make the freebie that I am sharing with you all today.  You can just right click on the image and save it to your computer.  Please remember that this is for your own personal use and you should not share the image, send people over here fo...

 Today I have released the 2nd newsletter from my website.  If you are not subscribed you are missing out on some pretty cute freebies :)  Just thought I would mention it.  If you are looking to subscribe you can find it here:  www.craftingvicky.com   I hope that it's starting to look like spring were you are.  I feel the excitement when I go out in the morning and I can hear the bird signing!  I just feels so very good.  I'm also longing to be able to start my garden.  It's still too early here in Montréal but it's coming, you can sense it in the air. I did a bunch of super fun background on photo paper using some alcohol inks for my Patreons .  And I figured it would be amazing to make some freebies using those backgrounds.  Especially since they really felt like spring time. I made a sheet of them for the newsletter and some other ones that are exclusive to my Patreons but I also wanted to include one on my blog for all of y...

 I did it guys!  The 1st news letter is out.  So if you subscribed to my website here:  www.craftingvicky.com, you will have received it by mail today.   And as I had hinted, I enclosed a freebie digital download of card toppers.  I think that they turned out pretty awesome and I'm quite pleased with them.  As an added bonus I will include one here for you as well.  Just right click on the image below to save it.  Don't forget that you are to use this as a personal item and not share it with others.  Please send them here instead :) Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.   See you soon and don't forget to go to the website so you don't miss the next newsletter :)

It's already time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and this time it's about Pink for Breast cancer. This is a subject that is close to my heart because my mom suffered from Breast Cancer and well I should be having check ups more often but... well life gets in the way and I end up with lots of excuse why I'm not going. So there's a great freebie this month and it's perfect for this challenge. I decided to use this image in my alphabet scavenger journal.  I haven't  used it much and need to try to do so.  But the Breast was perfect for the B. I used the raspberry distress ink on this and sprayed it with water to make the drips.  The image was colored with my copics and the sentiment well it was just FABULOUS for this. And so very true for all of us women! I'm entering this in the following challenges: Alphabet challenge blog  - P for Pretty in pink Time out challenges  - Breast cancer That's it for this post but there'...
