Crafting Vicky

My mother-in-law just lost her long battle with cancer last night.  She fought really hard for the past 3 years! She will be missed by all her family!  She was one strong woman.  Probably the strongest that I have met. Monique Corriveau Parker March 24th 1936 - July 26th 2012 I know that now she joined God and will be at peace. We will miss you mammy!

Hello everyone!  Today we have a gorgeous day! The type of day that I would have spent on the beach... unfortunately with the rain that we had on Monday there was an overflow of the sewer system in Burlington... and we can't go in the water... :(  So I'm enjoying the wonderful day outside coloring some of my images!  And I figured I would show you my workspace and play at  WOYWW I asked my hubby to take a pic to show you guys!  So this is me working on an image: And this is my wonderful workspace ;))) I bought the great black bag for the copics yesterday at a little store in Essex, Vermont.  Unfortunately they only had one... and it only contains 72 pens... so I still have a bunch of the other containers... oh well... more reasons to continue to shop ;))) I'm really enjoying my time here.  Our second week of vacation is not as beautiful as the 1st... and we had the news that my MIL is getting much worse... My hubby went on Sunday to visit her at the hospi

Hello Everyone!  Today at Jacksons digital expressions  our Anything goes challenge is with the Alternate art team.  This means that the twist is to transform something.  And the transformation should be school related.  We are being sponsored by the wonderful I really love her designs!!!!  I've played with a few as you will have seen on my blog for those who have been following me for awhile.

I'm not usually really fond of transforming objects... really good with cards, scrapbook pages... but to put a digi on something else is a stretch for me.  But since I wanted to play along I thought and thought and thought some more and finally came out with this.  I started out with a brown paper gift bag bought 2/1$ at the dollar store: And created this with it: I used some papers that I had in my pile of scraps (the one with the balloons).  I added some buttons and put some ribbon through them.  The buttons come from Walmart.  And colored the wonderf

Today at Digi darlas  our challenge is about "anything with wheels".  When I read that initially I thought right away about anything car related or automotive.... But I'm not much on doing man cards lol... So I just had to think a bit and realized that a wheel barrel also worked!  YAY and there was the cutest little digi called Flower Bugi that was perfect for this. To create this card I used paper from Daydream by first edition 6x6.  Love the shiny flowers on the paper!  I cut out the digi and the paper underneath with spellbinder label 14 die.  I paired this sweet digi with a sentiment from In my garden Jolinne by My favorite things (I've used that pack of sentiments a lot actually!  So happy when that happens!).  The ribbon is from the dollar store but it's really rich looking and the feel of it is wonderful.  The digi is colored up with my copics. Hope you come and play with us!  Just for playing you could get this wonderful digi:   So what are
