Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  It's been awhile since I last posted here!  I've been away to Greece.  It was a wonderful trip with my hubby.  And of course that meant no posting and I didn't schedule anything either.  1st time in forever that I took a break from blogging or youtubing.  It was nice and I got my head filled with ideas and looking forward to making them. I have made some mother's day cards today thinking that when I return to work this week there might be some requests.  The one that I'm about to share with you used a handmade embellishment that I made today.  I also made 2 sets (one yellow and one pink) to put in my etsy store.  You can find them here  and here . And here is the mother's day card that I made.  I used an image from Nicecrane to make this.  It's a precolored image. I used my Quickutz die for this.  I used some seam binding that I distressed.   The paper is from Blush by My mind's eye. I'm entering this little car

I have one last post for you on this very very busy Friday!  This time it's about the new challenge that is going on in over at  Scribbles designs challenge  and this time around it's about being a bug.  And for my make I decided to use the fabulous using sunny Butterfly Doodle . My make is a little journaling outside my box and it's done on a little cardboard.  The sentiment is from a magazine and I used a lot of diffent stamping as well as some stencils.  The image was colored with my tritone pencils.  I really love playing with those. I just ADORE how this turned out!!!  And I can't wait to share with you via video all the little cards that are in my box.  I have made quite a few. I'm entering this in the following challenges: TB added later Have a fabulous day!!! Hugs

Hey everyone!  I'm here to share with you my little make for the challenge going on over at FB RSD and friends .  This time it's about stiches (real or false).  In my case I did false!!! The image that I used is the fab  Jolly Rodger  to make a little postcard for my little nephew :)  The base for this was a cereal box .  I really do love using cereal box as my base.  And I'm happy to report that the postcard made it and my nephew was really happy. I used copics to color the image and many stencils and paint to make this.  The sentiment is from a magazine.  I decided to use a little dollar bill from a game because well pirates love their gold right?!? :) I'm entering this little postcard in the following challenge: Inky impressions challenges  - all about boys Robyns fetish challenge blog  - use a sentiment We love 2 create  - Anything goes mixed media Crafty time challenges  - for the kids Doodle pantry blog  - Anything goes That's it for me for

Hello everyone!!!  Hope you are having a fabulous week.  This Friday it's really busy on my blog especially since I decided to play with the latest release from The East Wind Ajna which you can find in the Etsy store . I was wondering how to showcase this gorgeous image!  And then I thought that I could put her on one of the background that I had colored in my Secret garden coloring book.  I don't want to just color those pages... I need to make it more so it's a journal in progress! For this I used a sentiment stamp set from Unity stamps that I thought would go perfect with her.  The colored page was done with my polychromos pencils.  The image however was colored with copics.  I really don't dare attempt doing skin coloring with pencils. Here's the closer version at the gorgeous image. I hope this will encourage you to play with your digis in different way like this one :) I'm entering this little coloring page in the following challenge

Oh man... it's time for a new challenge over at  The east wind  but it's about 3d and that is always so difficult for me...   I really had to think long and hard about what I could make. And then I look through my stuff and saw a little clock that I had meant to alter some time ago.  That was the starting point!  And I used the great image  Faith Lettering You can see what it looked like and the process of making this in the little video here: And if you don't want to see the entire process here is the final view!!!  I used some different stamps to decorate this.  But the lettering was put really big because that's what I wanted as the focus!  We need to have more faith.  That little altered clock is now in my kitchen to make us remember. I really can't wait to see what you guys create!!!  I'm sure that it will inspire me in the future!!! I'm entering this little clock in the following challenges: Wordart wednesday  - anything goes Path of

Hello!  It's Thursday and it's time to share with you my make for the midway post of the FB challenge going on at Oddball  .  It's anything goes so long as you use an Oddball image and if you don't you should go and shop :)  You can use the code DTVICKY10 and get 10% off your order!!! In this little make I used the fabulous image 293 .  I wanted to try out something different!  I get a lot of inspiration from the wonderful crafters that put videos on Youtube.  And one of the channel that I really love to watch is  KagedFish .  If you don't know her you should check her out and tell her I said "Hello" :) There was a flip through of some of her previous work and she showed something using some collage square little pieces of paper.  And I thought this was really clever.  In my cutting up of magazine I came across some black and white pictures that I thought would be interesting for this process as well as a little poem (I didn't keep the entire poem

Hello everyone!  I have to share another passion with you all!!!  Right now I just adore making postcards that I can send out to my friends and family.  This is what I'm doing this time for the  Karleigh sue  inspiration blog. The base of those postcards is recycled cereal box!  Super cheap right since it's something that would go to the recycling otherwise.  And since it's a postcard it's much cheaper to mail then an actual card!! When I saw the fabulous image  El Gato Dia De Los Muertos  I knew that this little cat would be fab for a little postcard to send to my grandmother. You can see the little making of this in the following video: And here's the make with the image colored with tritone pencils and polychromos pencil.  The sentiment is a play on word that I did in French and I typed with my brother label maker.  I used a bunch of different stencils as well.  Hope you like it!!! I sure hope my grandmother will like it! I'm entering t
