Crafting Vicky

This weekend is my previous boss birthday.  I really wanted to make something for him.  He is such a wonderful inspiration at work.   Here's my card for him: To make this card I used some scrap material a wonderful image that I got from Free Vintage Digi.  I colored him with my copics and added some Robin's nest dew drops.  I also used my lattice rectangle nestabilities for the 1st time!  So very much fun. I really hope he likes his card!  I thought it would be perfect for a someone who loves golfing! I'm entering this one in the following challenges: Cards for men  - kicking back Dutchdare  - birthday Pixie dust studio pixie challenge  - for the boys Lollipopcrafts  - just for him Little claires designs  - male theme Crafty creations challenges  - male birthday card So that's it for me for tonight.  I will see if tomorrow I have time to come back for more!  I didn't blog before and this turned out to be quite addictive.  I really hope that

When I looked through the challenges this week I came across Digi Darla's.  They have an amazing digi freebie just for this challenge!  So just had to play along.  The beautiful picture inspiration was all in blues.   For my followers you saw that I made a card last night with some soft blue colors.  I used the rest of that paper for this card.  It's from K& Cie.  Here's my card: I used my nestabilities to cut the shapes.   This is the picture inspiration: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Digi darlas  - picture inspiration Daisy doodles creative challenges  - May flowers Hooked on craft challenges  - flowers Paper creations ink  - garden Crazy challenge  - outside  Hope you like ;)  I have another post coming!

Tonight I purchased some more fabulous digis from Delicious Doodles at the Stitchy bear Stamps store.  I just loooooved coloring them so very much!  And there was a challenge that I really wanted to enter so how perfect is that ;)  Hope you like what I did with it.  I'm pretty happy myself: I only used one stack of paper from the K & cie paper and 2 little scraps as accent to go with the sketch that I followed.  I used my wonderful nestabilitie to cut her out. And used some stickles to color Marina's tail (that's the name of the digi) and some liquid pearl to create her bracelet.  The rest is colored with copics.  Here's a closer look to her: So what do you think?  Did I do a good job?  She was sooooo much fun to color!  Just love her. I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: One stitch at a time challenge  - use your favorites (well there are many in this one, the digi of course, the nestabilitie and the

I really wanted to do the challenge at Kraftin Kimmie.  And this week it was a really tough one!  It required to do one layer and since it's at Kraftin Kimmie it needs to be one of their images.... so I thought about it a lot... and Hooray, I had the perfect stamp for this!  When they came out with Bug buddies, I commented on the blog hop and won one of their wonderful sets. Here's my 1st card with it: And as I'm finishing this card off... I want to try to pile on the challenges that I can enter with it ;)  Especially since I really HATE spiders... so who knew that I would make a card with one lol definitively need to enter it in as many challenges as possible. Kraftin kimmie stamps  - one layer Craft your days away  - all creatures great and small Top tip tuesday  - CAS Pile it on challenge  - CAS Stampin sisters in christ  - Animal, Bird or Bug Clearly i stamp  - what goes up must come down ;)  That would apply to my little itsy bitsy spider So that

I won some time ago at  The crafts meow shop  a great set of stamps.  I had not used it yet.  Today as I was doing a card... I ended up with a great window shape.  And decided to use it to make a simple little card.  The saying from the Crafts meow set Sew lovely was wonderful with it. You will have to wait in upcoming weeks to see where the other squares went ;) I just love using the stuff I have!   I'm entering this one in the following challenges: Fab n funky challenges  - buttons and Bows Crafty creations challenges  - Frame it The poodles parlour  - anything goes Hope you like ;) Have a wonderful night if I'm not back.  Please don't forget to leave me a comment!  I just LOVE getting comments.  Big special hello to my followers!

Today I needed to prepare a thank you card for one of my boys' teacher.  She will be leaving on maternity leave at the end of the week.   To make this card I used my CM oval and the tearing tool.  I also used a page from a book that I distressed with Vintage photo ranger distress inks.  My stamp was Cool Edwin from Magnolia and I colored him with my copics.  I really {heart} that stamp to make my thank you cards for the boys because I just think it really looks like them. I followed this great sketch: I'm entering in the following challenges: Rubys rainbow  - sketch Southern girls challenge  - about the boys Divas by design challenge  - one for the boys Totally papercrafts  - no pesky girls allowed Mad for markers challenges  - masculine colors Inky impressions challenges  - thank you card (mine is said in French but it's thank you ;) ) All sorts challenge  - for a man or boy (mine is made for my boy to give to his teacher... so was for a boy ;) )
