Crafting Vicky

Wow time sure flies!!!!  This week will be the 5 years anniversary of my SIL and my brother!  So tonight I'm babysitting the beautiful twins ;)))  Very excited about it and hope that I can handle 2 at once... but I'm going with my daughter Megan so at least I will have extra hands! I really wanted to make a card for them and this week while shopping with my friend I found a wonderful stamp on sale for peanuts... or should I say cherries ;) that was perfect for this.  I decided to go CAS for this card. So here it is: I really love how it turned out.  I created the sentiment in word and cut the sentiment as well as the 2 circles with spellbinders nestabilities.  I doodled around the sentiment. The cherries are colored with copics.  Don't they look like they're having fun?!? I really hope that my SIL will not check the internet in the next hour... she's been known to see my post quite fast... so hopefully she's really busy with the twins! I'm enter

I made a card for a friend just because I really really wanted to let her know how very special she is to me and how much I value having her in my life.  Of course this post will be up after I have given it to her ;)  Hope she likes it! I had the opportunity to get a wonderful digi from Scribbles by Sandy.  And when I saw this one called Weighin Diva I just thought she was absolutely perfect.   Here is my card: Isn't she just sooo sweet?  I used my CM corner cutter to do the edges.  Here's a closer look at the sentiment on the card: She was so much fun to play with.  As are all the design from  Scribbles by sandy .  She has awesome sentiments and amazing images.  And always has a few freebies ;))) I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Fetch-a-sketch  - Sketch The hybrid chick  - Use pink Paper take weekly  - Anything Goes Art impressions stamps  - Fitness, workout or dieting (thought that image was amazing for i

Hello everyone.  Yesterday the fantastic news came out that I had made it to the wonderful design team at  Digi darlas challenges .  They have the most amazing images to design with! And the team is made up of such talented ladies!!!!  As an introduction we were to make a card with one of their amazing digis.  I have used Courtin Caleb to make this card.

I did something tonight that I never do... I made something that is completely different than a card.  It's a journal.  This journal will be used to record our camping memories when we go to Vermont camping. I do scrap-booking... and since I'm quite a few years back I figured that it would be fun to have a recording of our 2 weeks of camping.  And of course it can be written by the adults, or my 4 kids.  Which will be fun at a later date to see their handwriting.  Of course since it's in the state Red, White and Blue where perfect colors for this project.   There are so many challenges going on with this color I thought it would be great fun. Here's my journal before I started out: I bought this at the dollar store for 2$.  I then went all out with the paper and the stamp ;) And this is what happened: I used a bunch of leftover paper from all kinds of project including some paper from my Disney scrapbooking album.  I used a CM shape to cut that paper out.
