Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  I have a special post today for you I wasn't supposed to post today... but yesterday I finally finished my altered piece of furniture a Jewelry box that's fairly big and was perfect for my craft room....   Perfect except for the colors lol So what's special about this post?!?  Well I'm taking over on the Airless Chamber as well as the Sparkle and Glitter blogs to post part of this piece because I used a nice side and a not so nice side with the passage of time as my inspiration.  So here are the before and the after painting of the furniture piece. You can see that it wasn't really much of a reflection of me the before.... That distressing was a new technique for me... I wanted a crackled finish and used some glue to make it.  What I didn't realize at the time is that when the piece is standing up it makes a huge puddle of goo at the end.... so the front drawers came out better than the side....  But I wasn't discouraged I reapplie...

It's time to remind you to participate in our challenge at  Scribbles designs challenge .  It's all about green!  It was green or Easter... but now since Easter is past it would be green.  So this is why that's what I'm showing you ;) For my card I'm using one of my favorite digis from Scribbles design which is Gone buggy.  I really kept this card CAS.  I'm really impressed with myself since I seem to be doing more of those!  And they are not has easy... 'cause I always want to add more embellishments!

This post is to show you what I did during my camping vacation :D If you look at the Altered art  post you will see that waaaaay back in the month of June I had prepared a book to record the memories of our vacation.... Well sometimes stuff doesn't work out the way you plan.... I  took out my book and all the family wrote in it and it was wonderful. I already had vision of using it to do my scrapbooking.  Well.... we left it out that 1st night... and of course... it rained!!!!  YIKES  it was all soggy... so no way of using it anymore. When I went to Michael's I came across the smash books.  I realized that this would work!  So I started to cut out the 1st page and included it in my new book: And while I was at the campsite, I colored some digis that I had preprinted and some stamps as well.  I figured this would be a great place to display them to embellish some of our memories. For this page I used a wonderful image from Scribbl...
