Crafting Vicky

So I mentioned last night that I still had a mother's day card to do!  Now it's done.  It was a very specific request from a colleague who just had twins a boy and a girl.  When I mentioned that Mother's day was coming he got that freaked out look in his eyes... so I offered to make his card for him.  But then I asked what he wanted and got something way too specific.  I really wasn't sure that I would be able to come up with anything that would be good for him.  I wondered afterwards why I asked... I always ask and end up with a request that's way too hard. I did all kinds of research and finally found stuff out on this great website:  SXC  I got my images and got working on my card.  What do you think of this? I really hope that he likes it!!!!!  I put little robin's nest dew drops in blue and pink to represent the 2 babies.  I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Scrap-creations  - happy mother's day Crafty sentiments  - moth

I received great news last night!  I'm now a proud member of the  Jacksons digital expressions  DT team ;)))) so very excited.  As you could see in my left sidebar, I had partaken in some challenge already and just thought they were really awesome.  So very happy to be in their team. Now for tonight's post, I had a request to make a mother's day.  I made another card using the great Hat Silhouette from Floppy Latte.  I just loved that image on the 1st card.  This time I used my brand new beaded oval nestabilities to go around it. I used the stormy sky distress ink on the ovals around.  I also put 2 ribbons... it doesn't show very well but there's one underneath the sentiment and one in the button ;)  just love doing that! I think it turned out quite elegant even if it was using my scraps of papers! I'm entering it in the following challenges: Party time tuesdays  - Mum's the word Robyns fetish  - blue, button and bows (3rd and last entry) Sent

Good evening everyone! 2 days ago while I was doing my DT tour for Tammy scrapin corner I came across a blogger who had entered a card for our challenge. This is the blog Michael as crafting creations . She had made a card for a fellow crafter.Here's the story said in much better words than mine: The other day I was catching up with blogger posts and noticed a help request headline from a fellow crafter kindly asking to make a card for a lovely lady who needs cheering up. Her name is Susan and she is a crafter just like you and I. Susan was diagnosed with Aggressive Breast Cancer  this January and she had her Surgery and had Both of her Breasts Removed recently. She is facing a huge battle with this nasty disease now. Just like other fellow crafters have done I decided to make a card for her to cheer her up in her extremely difficult times and you can do the same. Please check out Patricia's Blog she is Susan's cousin and she will give you

I'm so very excited!  This is my 1st DT post for  Tammy scrapin corner .  This week our amazing sponsor is  Bugaboo stamps      you know how much I really {heart} their images ;)  This was so much fun for me. This is challenge #9 and it's show me those punches and/or Die cuts. I chose for this card to do a card for my mother-in-law.  As my followers know she is dying as we speak from cancer.  This will be her last Mother's day.  So I wanted to create something special for her.  She was such an inspiration for me that I thought I would use my very 1st DT card for her!   I used both punches and dies on my card and will describe afterwards. I really love using digis because you can do all sort of cool things with them.  I needed another ladybug to represent us (we are a family of 6).  So I used the 3rd ladybug and reversed it so it would be facing the other ones.  You can see it at the bottom left corner. I also really stacked my ladybugs.  You can see it bet

This is my last post for the weekend.  It was great fun.  I got to spend time with friends at a crop and I also got to spend time in the blog world with lots of great people. I'm so excited... tomorrow morning will be my 1st post as a DT for  Tammy scrapin corner .  Hope you will come and check out the challenge blog and my inspiration card ;) Here's my latest card: I used Kraftin Kimmie's Rebecca Raspberry for this.  I also used my nestabilities for the square and the wonky rectangle. I was inspired by this picture: I just loved all the little frills as the icing.  It reminded me of Rebecca's skirt. And I used this great sketch: I'm entering this one in the following challenges: The paper players  - inspiration picture - mother's day Card positioning systems  - Sketch Kraftin kimmie stamps  - Mother's day I hope you guys had a great weekend.  It's back to work tomorrow... quarter end... so Powerpoint presentation :(  And since
