Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  It's time for my new release post for the fabulous Julia Spiri!  And the new collection is  Venice. I had a lot of fun creating with this one.  I used a background that I had created using a saran wrap method that I saw Cat Hand using.

Wow already the time to share with you my midway post of January for Oddball !  It seems like time is flying by so very fast. For this post I decided to finally get around to doing the 1st prompt of the year that Journal 52 gave which was Word for 2016! My word for the year is Acceptance.  And by that I mean accepting myself as I am and stop feeling guilty or that I'm not good enough!  I need to convince myself this year that I am worthy and that I am enough!!! This doesn't mean that I won't work hard on a bunch of my issues (for example patience which is lacking... lol) but it means that I really need to also accept myself like I would any of my friends.  I tend to want too much of myself and that is not good and it ends up in a bad spiral. I used the great image 171  to make this because I wanted this little girl to look chocked that this was my word :)

I have some friends' birthdays coming up and what better image to use for them than an A rt by Mi Ran ?!? For this make I decided to play with the adorable  Willow . I also decided to tape my making of this card.  It's the 1st time that I make a video of the making of a card.  Hope you like this. In case you don't watch the video here is my card.

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  SLS lines challenge .  And this time around you will LOVE it because it's anything goes!!!  YUP anything you want!!!!  How fabulous is that?!? For my make I used the great Goth Girl Teddy to make a little Christmas card out of the norm :) Here it is for you

Yesterday I had some time to play and I decided to participate in a challenge that I am following but that I don't participate in enough!  That's the Sunday postcard challenge .  I want to do more mailing to my friends and I thought this would be a great way to do one just because for the fun of it :) For this make I decided to use a great image from Oddball called  image 140 . The challenge over at Sunday postcard is about Comedy.  Well I think this is pretty funny :)  I used a bunch of papers that I had in my stash as well as a magazine cut out that I had a little piece left and I tore the sentiment out.  It's from  Ginger house .  I doodled with my sharpie pen and also did the edge.  The sentiment was edged with a prima chalk ink.  The image was colored iwht my copics. I had so much fun doing this and I really hope that the person that I send this too will like it as well. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Sunday postcard art  - Comedy/Humor

Hello!  I had some time to play today (Sunday when I was writing this) and I had purchased some fabulous digis from Sassy Cheryl while she was having the 50% off sale.  I got one that's called Engineer some fun Noah.  Well that totally made me think of my hubby that's an engineer!!!!  So I had to get it! And last friday as a little treat to myself I stopped at a local thrift store and purchased a few items!  I really wanted to make a journal out of a box.  By that I mean that I wanted to have some means to journal but not in a book and more into something that I could put in a box afterwards :)  I found what I was looking for and if you watch my video you will hear more about it! And here's what my 1st make looks like!!!  I used a stencil from Andy Skinner that I purchased this week at my local craft store.  I also used a bunch of different paints from the dollar store, some newspaper that was treated with gesso and sprays as well as some tissue paper.  I finished thi

OMG did you check out what the fabulous Cheri did for me?!?  Did you?!?  There's a brand new digi that's called Vicky and it was made based on my request and picture :)  I just have to admit that this digi  Vicky  is much better than the original model that's me lol.  And I just had to do my 1st post for the inspiration blog with it. My inspiration was a hippie because well I was born at the end of the 60s and that was the type at the time.  I also love that type of clothing and the loose and flowery stuff.  I don't know what happened to me this year but I'm all about tuniques and loose flowing tops :)  but I don't look that sexy hee hee hee. Anyway I just HAD to play with my digi!!!  And I thought I would share with you what I made.  I used a great background that I had made in a class using some silks paints.  I did that background while at a class at Scrapbook Central.  I had not used silks before.
