Crafting Vicky

Ok did I get your attention with the title?!?!  Enough caps for you?  Well I have some totally EXCITING NEWS to share!  I'm finally taking the plunge of doing a challenge with a fabulous friend of mine Susan Kennedy .  Don't know if you know her work, but if you don't you totally should she's really AWESOME! So we have started And as the title states this challenge will be about having fun creating!!!  You will be allowed to enter whatever type of creation you like (so long as it fits the challenge).  So dark, cute, whatever!!!  We will be doing our DT call on November 1st.  In the meantime you can become a follower ;o)  By e-mail, google friend, bloglovin!  Just follow so you don't miss on the fun.   Right now we have a Halloween theme so don't be alarmed... there will be different looks varying with the seasons lol The actual challenges will start on January 4th and will be every 2 weeks on a Saturday.  There are some pretty awesome sponsors lined up!!

Hello!  I'm back with a little card that I made yesterday to play in 2 challenges!  The 1st one is the great new challenge place over at  Scrapbook blessings .  They are showing a new technique which is triple time stamp.  I had never done that!  It was great fun to try something new.  I really love the idea of challenging myself lol.  The other challenge that I wanted to play in was  Visible image  which have an Autumn challenge.  I totally fell in love with their stamps.  So this was a great time to use them!  I don't  have as many stamps as I would like... but hey there's only so much my budget will allow... so in the meantime I really want to use the ones that I got.  And so I used the Time set as well as the free your imagination set for this.

Hello everyone!  It's Monday but it's a good one because it's a Holiday here ;o)  So I'm here to share with you my DT card for  Melonheadz Friends challenges .  This time our challenge for you is Fairy Tales. So I decided to go with a story for a child which is Where the wild things are.  I really love the great illustrations of that book.  And there's a great set that you can find here that's called Dressed like a wild thing . Wouldn't that be a great Halloween costume for a child?!?  So I made this card for a Halloween theme as well.

Have I intrigued you with the title?!?  Well I hope so ;o)  There's a challenge going on at  Digistamps 4 joy  and the challenge is about recycling and snowflakes... So I thought and thought and thought some more on what I could recycle that would look good on a card and I finally got an idea!  I've seen people recycle soda aluminium cans into flowers.  That would work for a snowflake no?!?  But then... I don't have soda can... but I had some beer in can from the camping trip!!!  So that was just as good.  Well actually it was better 'cause the beer was awesome lol So here's the look at the can before I made it into some snowflakes.  I had to find a way to open it up... but it wasn't that bad. And here's the look of the card with the snowflakes ;o)  It was a bit difficult to remove the more intricate die cuts... so next time I would probably stick to less detail pieces. I used a digi from  Digistamps 4 joy  that you can find here  it's called Mr.

Hello everyone!  It's Sunday and it's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles and scrap challenge . Just to remind you all that from this challenge we have a slight change to the prize.  From now on people using a Scribble and Scrap product will only be entered into the draw once BUT if they win they will receive a £20 voucher instead of a £15 one.  Yay. Ok so for my card I used a great image from the set Vintage Girls that you can find here  it's only £1.00 for the entire set!!!  Such a great deal you have to go and get those sweet toppers. For my card I went all soft!!!  

Goodevening!  So what have you guys been up to today?  I did what I mentioned I would do... some yard work (it was a gorgeous day!!!) some housework :( some sewing... backpack was broken yet again and some scouts badge to sew and then I got to play around a bit. Some that I can't share with you yet... but one that I can and should because the challenge ends in a few hours yikes!!!  Realized that today! So I'm playing with the soooo cute little Chi Chi CM B006 - Halloween. The cutest little ghost and I know already whom I'm going to give this to!  I really love this sweet little guy.

Goodmorning everyone!  How are you doing?!?  It's Saturday and I'm still in bed most probably when this post will be going up.. so it's  really all good on my hand.  It's also a long weekend here in Canada so that's really totally awesome. I'm hoping the weather will be as nice as they announce.  If so I'll be doing some yard work and then I'll be crafting!!!  YAY!!!! ;o) So I'm here today to share with you a little card I made for my DT post of  Fresh Brewed design .  I used a fabulous digi that was created for my friend Lisa ;o)  I really love that image and colored it up while I was on vacation.  It can be found here  and it's called Sally.  There's a lot of coffee lovers in my entourage that would like this card!
