Crafting Vicky

This morning as I was looking at blogs I came across digi darlas blog.  And they had the cutest little digi girl up and to top it off it was for a good cause (all the money (and the digi is only 1$) will go for a mission in Nicaragua)!  So of course I couldn't resist.  Here she is: Isn't she sooo cute?!?  Love her.  And I paired her up with First Edition Summer Breeze paper.  It was really girly and had a real spring feel to it.  I used this great sketch: I'm entering this card in these challenges: Sunday sketch and stamp  - Sketch Digi darlas  - Festive flowers (there's flowers all over the paper as well as on the hat) Aud sentiments challengeblog  - Anything Spring or summer Card makin mamas  - make it girlie Card crafters circle  - gentle pastel colors I'm going back to creating ;) See you later Vicky xo

I just saw this post on another blog   Lulas creation : Back then i didnt have to hear thats not fair,your mean,why not,and many more.  I could not resist sharing it with others!  All of you out there that are mom might be feeling just like this!!!  I love it!!!!  

I was thinking all day about this card lol well almost all day... I was working as well ;) But the picture of this kept popping up in my head.  I was working with a great image from Dude time doodles.  Here's my card: And a view from the side: I'm really really happy with this card!  Especially since the pennies will be collectibles in Canada starting this fall I think. I used this sketch": Isn't it cute?  I was really border line to use it... ends today...  But I'm really glad I got to use it.  Especially since it turned out sooo good. I'm entering this one in the following challenges: Dude time doodles  - The great image to work with! Sketch saturday  - The sketch Robyns fetish challenge blog  - Anything goes Catch the bug blog  - Anything goes Wags n whiskers rubber stamps  - Anything goes So I'm really happy with this one.  And I got a bunch of amazing digi images today that I can't wait to use!!!!  Plus I received my

WOW  today was a good day.  I have won at a re-draw at  Dutch Dare Card Challenge 3 great digis!!!  So exciting!!!!  Can't wait to use them.  I received my beautiful Tilda from Shelby!  Thank you sooo much and she added a great ribbon ;))))  Soooo happy.  Then I tried my hand to something quite more difficult... yesterday I tried a folding card.  It was long and time consuming but I liked the result. So to enter the challenge again... I made a pot, and the flowers as well as the greenery... it's not quite as trailing but does go over the leg of the little girl ;) To make this card I used paper from k&cie,  CC Design Butterfly dies in 2 sizes, Cuttlebug flower maker die, some little pearls embellishments and My favorite Things - In my garden Jolinne Stamp.  Here's the card sideways: I'm pretty sure that it would not withstand the test of Canada Post... it will have to be one of those hand delivered cards ;) This is another 1st because I had never done one o

Tonight I attempted multiple folds for the 1st time!!!  And I also wanted to use my new nestabilities and stamp sets Daisy.  Trying to go really quickly I managed to lose one of the dies... I will have to go hunt for it tomorrow night before I attempt to do anything else and end up losing it for good...   Here's my attempt: This is the closed look and the open is this: It took forever to make this... I kept adding to it...  I'm happy for the 1st attempt.  I'm sure that I will get better with this but at the same time whomever gets this card will probably be happy ;)  I find that we are always more critical of ourselves. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Dutchdare-cardchallenge  - multi fold with multi stamp, all the flowers are stamped and so is the sentiment Southern girls challenge  - multi fold Flutter by wednesdays  - Birthday card with butterfly At joans gardens  - tri-shutter card with multiple print, ribbon and something dimens

I did have time for one more card!  I've been wanting to play at the deconstructed sketch... never made it in time.  So this is my 1st attempt. I used the Penny Black Hook, line and sinker stamp.  Here's the sketch: I'm entering my latest card in the following challenges: Critter challenge blog  - Critter Incy wincy designs  - Cute Critter Deconstructing jen  - The sketch Penny black at all sorts  - oh sooo cute Paper take weekly  - water water everywhere Party time tuesdays  - Water That's it for me folks.  Another beautiful day crafting!!!  Tomorrow it's back to work I go.  Keep on commenting my posts!  I just looooove reading all of you.

I have been thinking on how to enter to the Forever Night challenge... this requires a movie and it's supposed to be creepy!   Well guess what I found a take on this!  Not sure that everyone agrees with me but I'm sure some will.  Let's start with I adore shoes!!!  So to me the idea of losing one is really creepy and bad.  Some of you might already guess where I'm going with this: Yes it's Cinderella!  From Kraftin Kimmie's stamp.  Doesn't  she look scared?!? I used this great sketch: And this color combination: I'm entering in the following challenges: Card patterns  - Sketch The paper players  - color combo Forever nigh challenges  - movie  That's that for now.  I'll try to create one more before the night is over... but will see.  Tomorrow's back to work I go... so definitively not as many posts :( Vicky xo
