Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  It's time for the midway point for the  Sparkle and glitter with rick .  For this point at the midpoint of the challenge I used a great image called  using  Dead End Sign . I thought this image would be totally awesome for the end of my journal!  And now that I've started this journey.... well can it every really be the end?!?

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and this time around it's about anything but a card! I would say that this in the past would have been super hard but not anymore.... lol So for that I decided to use the fabulous digi  Lucy Loo morning stretch  now I really really wish that I looked this good when I stretched lol.... but you know how much I really really really loooooove Lucy Loo so had to use her on this special album that I'm making for a friend. It's made out of all recycled material that I gessoed and then painted over using my gelli plate.  It's my 1st time doing a total junk album :)  I really hope that she likes it!  I'm pretty happy with those pages!!!!

Well the new showcase challenge for us over at Art by miran  is Cool colors.  I don't  know for you but to me that means pale and blues.... so that's what I tried to use for this make.  I'm still trying to do other things than cards so for this I made a postcard that is being used in a swap over at International crafters over on FB :) The image that I used is  Tessa .  I really love how she looked for this! Our challenge in the swap was to use all sorts of materials we had received in previous swaps and that's what I did here.   The flowers the border and the embossed paper are all from previous swap.  I added the bling and the sentiment that's from  Create with TLC  and that was cut using my Nellie's ovals. I colored this sweet little image with my copics.  And I think she was just perfect for this.  What do you think?!? I'm entering this little postcar...

Hello everyone!  It's time for the reminder about the challenge going on over at  Oddball stamps  in the FB group. For this reminder post I used the great  Image 177  for this journal layout!  I now have a favorite store which is a thrift store!  You can never know what you will find there!  And that day I found 2 yes 2 fabulous set of tarot cards!  And they were the spooky type of cards.... just perfect for me!  I was in HEAVEN.  I purchased them knowing that I would be able to use them soon.  And that's what I did with this journal layout. I had also some awesome burlap fabric from my friend Maureen from way way way back.... I could never find the proper use for it.  And now journaling well that item stays with me :)  So perfect. The tarot card that I used is the outsider and the artist.

Absinthe Fae  is such a great image it was perfect for an album cover! I really really love now doing other stuff than cards :)  I've become totally hooked!  And this month I recycled a journal that I had for a very long time to give it to my oldest son's girlfriend.  She really loves anything dark and fantasy So I figured this would be totally perfect. Here it is colored with my copics.  I also used stickles on the wings.  The cover of the book was done with some recycled papers from a purchase at amazon and I used the Verday Paints on it.  It gives a rusty finish due to some metal particles in the paint.  I made this bronze have some verdigris.

Hello everyone!  We are doing the Christmas in July challenge over at  SLS Lines  and the image that I decided to use for this is from a set that is precolored!  So awesome when you don't feel like coloring it's  Ninja penguins I just thought that would be the perfect image for the non typical Christmas card..... The paper that I used for this comes from an actual Christmas set.... surprising right?!?  It's from Jillibean soup - Holly Berry Borscht.  I used other sentiments from  Create with TLC  and added some hand written words to the 1st one.... the bling is from Studio G gems.  I used my black soot distress ink to distress it and used my fancy tags 2 from spellbinder and my Stamping up project  life dies for the tags.  The snowflake was done with my tattered lace snowflake die. I hope you like my non traditional Christmas card :) I'm entering this card in the following challenges: 12 months of christmas linkup...

Hello everyone!  It's time for me to share with you a little make that I did for Doodle Pantry thinking of my vacation album! As I was packing today the tent trailer.... I had the thought in my head of "just watch it I prepared it in advance this year.... and I will forget to bring it lol" - Sure hope that's not the case!!!!! Anyway here's the set that I used for it Sea Horse Habitat : Here's the page that I did: I used my Sizzix ornate Labels to cut out the sentiment. I hope that you will use those fabulous digis to decorate your albums as well!  It's the perfect way to embellish the pages that you will write on. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Crafting with an attitude  - Anything goes The paper shelter  - Holiday time Word art wednesday  - Anything goes I want to thank everyone that went and liked my video !!!!  I'm super excited with the response for the 1st one!  I will be trying to make future on...
