Crafting Vicky

Today as mentioned in my previous post I'm taking it easy :D  This means crafting and enjoying the pool probably for one of the last time.  We are having a wonderful day here in Montreal.  But I've been missing crafting for the fun of it. So even though it's beautiful out and it really doesn't look like summer is coming to an end I created a card with this in mind. As the followers of my blog know I just loooooove TLC sentiment.  And I decided to do a card to showcase one of her wonderful sentiment as the focus.  It was part of a digi from the club I was on. For this card I used some paper that I got on sale at Scrapbook Centrale a local store that I really really love.  It's from Little yellow Bicycle - Count your blessing.  I used my CM corner punch to round the edges. I also used my Grand Scallop circle and Splendid circles (for the 1st time) from Spellbinder.  I added some Robin's  Nest dew drops and some leaves (sorr...

Hello everyone!  This week at One stitch at a time challenge  our challenge is "use a digi"!!!  How easy is that?!? For those that Use a Stitchy Bear Stamp digi you could win the fabulous collection of images used by the DT!!!! In my case the image that was used was from Delicious Doodles and is called Peacock Feather. To make this colorful card I used some paper from my Basic Grey pack Lauderdale.  I also used some cardstock from Recollection.  The embossing folder that was used under the image is from Cuttlebug animal print collection, I thought this was perfect for this image.    I used Label 23, Standard circle and scallop circles from Spellbinders.  I really love using dies!  Don't  know what I was doing before I had so many... Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics: I thought this wonderful sentiment from TLC called All the colors would be perfect with it.  I used Distress ink fa...

This week at  Paper make up stamps  our challenge is Tent-Topper. A big welcome to our guest designer  Rachel Fisher  and to our new DT member Ardilla . For this card I had to learn a new technique... I had never done Tent-Toppers.... but it was great fun once I got over my fear. I used Alora Collection from Bobunny to make this card.  And some CM cardstock.  I used my Classic circle and scalloped circles as dies to cut digi and sentiment.  I also added some Robin's Nest Dew drops. Here's a closer look at the digi colored with copics and used glazed to make the drop of water look like real water. I used a sentiment from Ginger house that I thought was just perfect for this image!!!  This is the 1st time that I use one of her sentiment but they are so wonderful. Here's a side view of my card.  I don't normally finish the inside of the card but I did so this time: I really hope that you will have like my c...

This week at  Digi darlas  our challenge for you is mining silver!  This is a great time to pull out all your wonderful silver embellishments. I must admit... I was a bit stumped with this one... I really wasn't  sure what type of card to make.  I saw the beautiful creations from all the other DT members and was really not feeling up to their level. Then I had a breakthrough.  I figured that this would be a great time for a masculine card.  Don't know why but silver "screamed" masculine to me lol.  So here's my card using the Western set (told you felt masculine :D) To make this card I used Martha Stewart Punch pad paper.  I also used Label 18 and Label 14 from Spellbinder to cut the digi and the sentiment.  The paper is from my scrap piles. Here's a closer look at my wonderful digi colored with copics and I also used my Prismacolor pencils for the silver of the revolver. I hope that you have found this inspiring :D ...

This week at  One stitch at a time challenge  our challenge is "Back to school'.  And our wonderful sponsor is: When I saw the wonderful digi from Kaz called Young Love this really reminded me of my hubby and I... well we were older but we met in university.  So to me this was perfect because when school started again we did get to spend more time together :D  And now it's been 21 years!  16 years of marriage so this card was our anniversary card from me!  Fitting no?!? To make this card I used some paper from Desert Blooms First Edition.  I cut out the digi and the paper underneath with Label 1 die and the sentiment with gromet tag both by spellbinders.  The wonderful sentiment comes from TLC, wow what did I do before I discovered her!!!!  I used one of my EK border punch for the border on the bottom.  Added some Robin's Nest dew drops as well. I colored the image using my copics and added  pebbles classic c...

This week at  Crafting when we can challenges , our challenge is Rainbows (make it as colorful as you can).  And your wonderful sponsor is  For this challenge I was really wondering which image to work with... While I was debating this I realized that I had already colored something that would be perfect while I was on vacation.  See awhile back I had won some digis from Scrapbook Stamp Society and I had chosen as one of them Shade of green 1st. Isn't it a pretty image?  You will be getting a closer look soon lol.  The paper that I used for this card comes from K & cie and it's called Wild raspberry.  I used the tags fancy from Sizzix to cut out the image and the paper underneath it.  I also used my circle and scallop circle dies for the sentiment.  I added some flourishes made using Marianne creatables LR0150 and LR0151 (did I tell you guys how addicted I am to dies now?!?  It's all Kim Bell's fault lol :D) The flower is...
