Crafting Vicky

Tonight I finished all my DT work so that I may go on vacation!!! YAY!!!  About time because I'm leaving Friday afternoon lol. I still managed to make 2 cards just for the fun of it because there are challenges that I really wanted to enter.  Last week I won at Paper Shelter.  And I was DYING (well almost ;) ) to color it up!  So here it is: Yes... I made an easel card ;)  Told you I was totally addicted to those!!!  I used paper Desert Bloom from First Edition, I love the sparkle that this gives.  I paired it up with some ribbon from my stash and... yes you know it Robin's Nest Dew Drops. Here's a closer look as to how I colored Little Bit Grumpy: I used my copics, I inked all around with some Frayed Burlap distress ink and added Crystal Stickles to the wings that I had colored in pale pink to give that extra shine.  Isn't she cuuuuuute!  Now you know why I couldn't stop myself and needed to color her up. Here's the side vi...

I want to start off by saying a big thank you for all those of you who did the hop!  I hope that you had as much fun as we did! Thank you so much for all  your wonderful comments ;))) Today at  Jacksons digital expressions  our challenge is as always anything goes (that's so fantastic I know! ;))  And the twist if you want to play with it is a color combination (see the bottom of this post for the color).  This time we are being sponsored by Such beautiful digis.  I hope that you will play with us and possibly get the prizes ;) I played with the beautiful digi Tender Thougths! I just thought she was so very pretty.  She reminded me of my daughter (except that my daughter as brown hair... just felt blond was better for this).  I want my daughter to send this card to her grandmother before we go on vacation.  My MIL is dying and since we will be away I thought it would be nice that she have a reminder that her granddaughter pr...

I've been truly blessed ever since I started this blog.  I've been able to join wonderful design teams!  And this weekend I learned 2 wonderful news. The 1st is that I'm now a member of the OSAAT blog!  I'm so very excited.  For those following my blog I've been participating in a lot of their amazing challenges and actually won 3 times ;)  Now I won't  be the winner so I hope that you will take my place!  But I'll be creating still with their wonderful digis. My other wonderful news is the reason for this post.  I had communicated with the artist at  When the scrap hits the fun .  I don't know if you are familiar with her work.  I used one of her awesome digis on the post here .  She was looking for people to design with her artwork.  And I made the team!!!!  WOW so very excited.  I hope that what you see from me will make you want to go and check out her digis and encourage her to continue. Here's my card...

So Marla if you could e-mail me at vfmpp@sympatico.ca so that I may send you the digi ;)  Congratulations! For this week for my Noah's Ark two by two inspiration I used Hungry Ollie. I just thought he was sooo cute. To create this card I used Basic grey  6x6 pad called Lauderdale paper and an impression obsession stamp sentiments.  Of course you know my obsession with Robin's Nest dew drops so just had to add some!!!!  I also added some dead fishes stickers.  This is my 2 ;)  Because for this challenge you need to add 2 of something!  This is my 2 ;) You will want to see what the other DT have created for this.  Such amazing creations.  But take a special look at Dawn's since we both worked with the same wonderful image.   She ...

I just love to craft so much lol  I just couldn't resist. So the 1st card that I'm showing you is with a Digi Darlas digi.  It's called Aviator Kitty: To make this sweet little card, I used one of my spellbinder die as well as your next stamp cloud dies (just loooove those (plus I used my winnings to get them how cool is that ?!? )  I used Rocket age 8x8 from October Afternoon paper as the background.  The sentiment I created with word.  I also added a Robin's Nest Dew Drop (I should have stock in that company...

This time around at  Crafting when we can challenges  we have a recipe for you!  And we have a wonderful Sponsor as well!  It's Spesch Designer Stamps . Our recipe is a really easy one for you guys I'm sure!  It's 1 image, 2 ribbons and 3 buttons.  Now of course we almost always have an image so that's really easy!  The 2 ribbons is a bit harder for me but the 3 buttons is also easy... so no excuse lol I used my Lattice rectangle and label 5 spellbinder for this.  I colored the wonderful digi Penny Shopping with my copics.  I chose what I thought would be great colors for a teenager... my daughter thought it was cool lol.  The buttons come from a Walmart bag and the ribbons from my dollar store all these part of my stash.  The paper is from a little 6x6 pad... forgot the name so sorry... the other is from BBP.   H...
