Crafting Vicky

So as I'm writing this, I'm enjoying my deck and pool with my 3 boys!  They are spending a lot of their energy as I write ;))))  Got to love summer time!  We are celebrating St-Jean Baptiste in Quebec today.  It's our holiday.  So that means since it's falling on a Sunday that I will be off on Monday!!!!  YAY!  I don't  know what the weather will be like... but I hope nice enough that my hubby and daughter who are back tonight will get to enjoy the pool as well! Last week.... I had created a card especially for the Digi Haven challenge... and I realized when I went to look at the winners that I had forgotten to link my card up!  How bad is that... So this time I better make sure that I linked up. This morning I created this card because I thought of the fun I'll be having now ;)  Summer time was my inspiration for this card. My digi is from  Hambo stamps  it's a freebie and it's called Cool Cat.  I think he is a pretty cool cat ;))) I used

Ok I have to say it here... on the Tammy's Scrappin Corner we have a bunch of enabler DT... What I mean by that is that there's a bunch of ladies that have fabulous images... and Dies (here read Kim Bell to be specific...) and we have started to tell each other when there are sales...  Well I had seen Tammy and Sassy use a bunch of Sassy Cheryl's wonderful images.  I just looove them.  But I had none... that is until Tammy posted that they were having a sale.   Well I'm sure that you can figure the rest out yourself! lol  Just don't  tell my hubby... don't think he knows yet... lol (that's for you J-A and Cinzia ;) ) So I just had to create something with one of them right?!?  Otherwise what is the point of having those fabulous images if you are not using them!  Last evening, while the boys were playing with their video games I was crafting.  Couldn't finish it up before going to bed however because I spent my time finishing off a card... and then doi

This forthnight our challenge at Crafting when we can challenges  is Summer fun and it's sponsored by the wonderful: You will have to go and check out the fabulous work that my fellow DT have done!  So gorgeous. It's fun to be doing Summer!   And right now in Montreal we have been enjoying the wonderful weather of Summer time.  Our summer passes way to quickly so we really have to make the most of it. For my card I was working with the fabulous Charlotte with flower and bird image.  She's so very sweet... I really wanted to showcase her.  And I found great paper that was doing just that. I had paper from Summer's end by fancy pants.  I just love the beautiful detail of that paper and thought it was perfect for this sweet image.  I didn't  want to overpower the paper or the digi so I left it fairly simple by adding just 2 ribbons at the bottom one from my stash and one from boutique trims doodlebug ribbon, the gorgeous daisy yellow ribbon.  I used a chipb

So I actually managed to finish my 2nd card!!!!  I'm pretty happy with the results. This one is partly due to a comment I received this morning from Corinne.  She was mentioning in her comment that it would be nice if I participated in her challenge... well... I had no idea that challenge existed... So I went and checked and they had some beautiful colors as inspiration.  Actually... I liked the colors soooo much that they inspired another card that will be shown on Monday. So anyway, there was also a challenge that I had wanted to participate in at Meljens and that one was with a sketch.  So this was great, I had the sketch and the color combination! I'm really really happy with the way it turned out.  I used paper from DayDream - first edition.  Just adore that paper, I had bought a 6x6 pack as well as an 8x8 pack for really a great deal at Winners.  Such amazing finds there!  It's the equivalent of TJ Maxx in the States!  And now they have scrapbooking material

Today was a wonderful sunny day in MTL.  I had to do the cleaning of the house and take care of a few errands my boys since my hubby is gone to see is mom with my daughter.  I was also a chauffeur to the youngest who even if it was his 9th birthday (Happy b-day William) was going to his best friend's b-day party.  Then while the laudry was being done, I crafted a bit... one for DT work and 2 for fun (one not complete yet ).  And now I'm blogging but enjoying the sun and the pool at the same time ;)))) I've been wanting to participate in Tiddly's Ink challenges for the longest of time... and I never did.  Today I decided was the day.  Their challenge was about pink!  I had gotten a Freebie digi called Value.    I used it and changed the coloring to pink and all the lines to black with word ;)  I was really happy that I actually managed that.  I'm really really lousy at Word so making any changes to a picture is quite impressive! I used my Sweet Owl - First Edi
