Crafting Vicky

It's already time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and this time it's about Pink for Breast cancer. This is a subject that is close to my heart because my mom suffered from Breast Cancer and well I should be having check ups more often but... well life gets in the way and I end up with lots of excuse why I'm not going. So there's a great freebie this month and it's perfect for this challenge. I decided to use this image in my alphabet scavenger journal.  I haven't  used it much and need to try to do so.  But the Breast was perfect for the B. I used the raspberry distress ink on this and sprayed it with water to make the drips.  The image was colored with my copics and the sentiment well it was just FABULOUS for this. And so very true for all of us women! I'm entering this in the following challenges: Alphabet challenge blog  - P for Pretty in pink Time out challenges  - Breast cancer That's it for this post but there'...

It's FRIDAY and boy oh boy am I ready for this.  So happy it's the weekend.  It means crafting time ahead.  Actually I have a class planed for tomorrow so that is wonderful and I should learn to draw faces.... so hoping to use that in my journaling! Anyway I'm here today to share with you a make that I did with one of the new release images from Karleigh Sue  I love you . I decided to use this image in an altered mail art booklet.  You can see the making of this in my video below. And here is the look at my project. The image was colored with copics and fussy cut.  The sentiments are from another project using the negative of the stencils.  I played with some paints and of course the background was made using my gelli printing. I'm entering this booklet in the following challenges; 4 crafty chicks  - anything goes Audsentiments challenge blog  - anything goes Crafting with an attitude  - Anything goes Simon says stam...

OMG there are some new images over at  Oddball Art   and I just HAD to play with them.  I made a video of one of the makes. If you want to go and shop don't forget to use the code DTVICKY10 for you to get 10% off your purchase. I really love Halloween and I had to use one of the new set for my pocket letter that I was making in a swap! Here is the video of the making of actually 18 ATCs I'm sharing the Oddball one here but you will have to see the video for the rest: I used my gelli printed cards for the background.  It was so much fun to use.  The images were colored with copics. And for the next image it was just PERFECT for mother's day especially since it has 4 little kids and that is what I have.  So I thought I should use it for the new calendar that I'm making for my grandmother.  I purchase some little calendars with some post it notes and used it with this. The papers in the background are scraps.  The image was colore...

OMG guys I just have to say how wonderful this day has been with the opportunity to meet in real life someone that I totally ADMIRE!  And I'm totally spoiled because my local store can get people like her to come along and yes I'm speaking of Dina Wakley. I have been thinking of this for over a month since I registered to her classes.  Took 2 and wow was it ever worth it!!!  Just AMAZING time.  She's  very generous of her time and advice and just a wonderful person.  Just as you see on FB or other media but it's so much more in person. I was almost in tears (had to control myself) to actually get to meet her.  It's the 1st time that I get to be in a class with one of those BIG name people you see.  Never before.  Never felt that I would be even worthy enough to be there... just purchasing the books but that was it from a distance, watching videos but not in person. I HAD to ask her to take a picture with her.  I was very embarrased...
