Crafting Vicky

Well... I started out wanting to create another mother's day card... but in the end it could be for any occasion lol.  It was too pretty without the sentiment.  So I decided to let it be what it wanted. I have use a wonderful freebie from a few weeks back from Bugaboo, for those who are not followers and haven't read previous post, I really really {heart} bugaboo digis ;)))  I used my scallop and standard circles to make the image and used stickles on the wings of the butterfly. I used this wonderful sketch for making my card: I will be entering this card in the following challenges: Catch the bug blog  - Anything goes Robyns fetish challenge blog  - Blue with bows and button (I did the bow with the button ;))) ) Card patterns  - Sketch Dutchdare  - Spring has sprung I'm having such a blast ;)  Hope you are liking what you see.

As mentioned in my previous post I would like to have a few mother's day card ready for this week.  I figure there might be a few colleague who need them last minute. I had gotten a few weeks ago a great digi from  Stitchy bear stamps .  They have wonderful artist.  This one is from Floppy Latte Design and it's called Over the top from the hat silhouette series. I used the new technique that I had learned yesterday with Stardust Jewel glitter ritz. I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: One stitch at a time challenge  - mother's day with digi Deconstructing jen  - Sketch Ok going back for some more creating ;) Vicky xo

I had a request to make a card for a colleague.  Her daughter is celebrating her 18th birthday soon.  I had a great digi image from  Mayzyart  "Molly and Booboo" and this was just perfect for this young adult.  I also changed the picture to add the cup from Tim Horton (seems that she really likes her Tim Horton Ice capuccino ;) ) I really hope that my colleague likes it!

Goodmorning everyone!  Just want to start off by saying how happy I am that I discovered the blogging world!  I'm meeting via the internet such wonderful people and getting to use images that are fantastic. Talking of fantastic, while looking for some image some time ago, I came across a blog  All glued up  and there was a wonderful Freebie called Albert.  Now I just loved him so much and had been wanting to color him up for awhile.  Yesterday was the perfect opportunity.  And I had just the challenges in mind ;0  how wonderful is that. I didn't use a sketch this time. It's my own creation ;)  I created the sentiment with word art.  I used some of my Creative memories paper and some dew drops from Robin's nest.  I put glossy accent on the lights and the windshield.  Albert is colored using my Distress pens, copics and Prismacolor pencils.  And the shapes are done with my wonky rectangle nestabilities. I'm entering this in the following challenges:  C

Today I was really lucky.  Even if my husband left to see his mother with 2 of my kids, the other 2 were old enough and responsible enough that I could still go away for a bit.  I went to a crop day offered by Scrapbook Centrale, with 2 friends Chrystiane and her daughter Shanny. I colored for a big part of the day and learned a new technique with a make and take.  Of course I wanted to try it out... so I bought the sparkles to be able to do it too.  I had just the perfect image to use it with and found the perfect sketch for it. Here's my card: I used a great digi image that I found on Stitchy Bear Stamp which is by Floppy Latte Design.  It's called Wishful thinking. I used Jewel Glitter Ritz powder that I burnished. And the paper is from K & cie.  The sentiment is from Impression obsession. I used this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Eat sleep stamp  - sketch Digi darlas  - Thinking of you Divas by design challenge
