Crafting Vicky

OMG the time is just flying out of my hands.... I realized that I totally missed the posting of this last Tuesday.  I was sure that the release date for this fab image from The East Wind was this Tuesday.  Imaging my surprise and disappointment with myself when I realized that I missed my posting date... :( But I had just had to share with you what I did with the fab Transformation image . This image really called to me!!!  It seemed perfect to illustrate all the transformation that I've been going through! During the holidays my dad gave me something to hold my dolls head... yeah I know spooky and weird but I still have to figure out what to make out of them.  Anyway in the meantime I have something to hold them.  But that came wrapped up in newspaper!!!!  And the newspaper was from 1985!!!!!  YES that was a great find!!!  I was as happy with that as with the gift lol.  It was all yellowed out!!!  And just YUMMY. So that's what I'm using for my background here.

WOW I always end up miscalculating my crafting makes.... Yesterday I decided that I wanted to do some homemade journaling tags because I really want to make some new altered book journal.  I think they are super fun to make! So I found a bunch of quotes that I liked.  I wrote them in a word document. Then I found some new free font to use to make them because I wanted some different font and if I was going to do this I wanted to make 4 sets.  At that point I had the brilliant idea to make 2 more set of each so that I could put some in my etsy store... that's when my idea went on the crazy side I think lol.  Because each set has 10 tags... so multiply by 4 that meant already 40 tags.... multiply by 3 sets and now you have 120 tags.  YIKES it's a good thing that I didn't do the calculation before hand because I wouldn't have done them lol but I'm happy that I did so now it's all good (wasn't yesterday however because my arms were killing me) The next step

Hello everyone!  This is my very last post as a DT for SLS lines !  It's been a really fun adventure but now it's time for me to move on.  I will totally miss this great group and would highly suggest that you apply to the DT call because you will LOVE it!!!!!! For my last post I wanted to make something that I could send out to a friend.  That is one of the new resolution that I have to send out more mail to friends.  So I'm trying to make smaller items that will be appreciated :)  I used the fabulous  Love birds floral set  because all the fab elements are precolored so it makes it very easy to use.  I actually prepared the entire tag on my computer and then printed it out!!!  Easy peasy. I actually used 2 different hearts from the set and put them in different size.  I also used the little birds and put them on the little branch that is also in the set.  Once it was printed I distressed the edge of the tag and put a little bit of twine.  The sentiment is from  Cr

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new release series at Karleigh Sue !!!!  And the new release images are just PERFECT for Valentine's day!!!! I decided to make my hubby's Valentine's day card with my image Chocolate Covered Strawberry.  But I made it a funny Valentine's day card!!!  Just didn't want it to be just the typical one!!!

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles Designs Challenge .  This time the challenge is about showing some heart!!!!  So I thought this was the PERFECT opportunity to make some little valentine card for my little niece and nephew!!! For the 1st make I'm sharing my little nephew's card.  He totally loves cars and trucks so this was a no brainer I just had to creat with the great  Hearts Truck .  I did it on a smaller card than what I usually use because I wanted to avoid extra cost.  I tend to send big cards and it's costing me a lot in postage... so I will try this year to make them smaller and send some more often instead!!! The paper was some left over that I had from last year.  I added some washi tape and the image was colored with my copics.  The sentiment is from  Create with TLC . I'm entering this in the following challenges: Drs designs blog  - Heart to hearts Fab n funky challenges  - For a child Great impressions stam

It's time to share with you some inspiration to get you to participate in the latest progressive challenge over at  Sparkle and Glitter challenge . For my make I had decided to play with the fabulous  Portia .  I have to say that I really really really adore the fab hat ladies that Rick does!!!!  And this one is totally awesome. I had purchased a little brass frame in need of love at the thrift store and I decided to update it to frame her :)  You can see this on the following video. I have put this little frame up in my Etsy store here .  I used a bunch of different paints on it and to really get the process well it's better if you go and check it out on Youtube :) But here it is.  The image itself was colored with my copics.  I used my Gelly Roll all over the fur and the furry part of the hat!  I used my Nellie's ovals to cut out the image and I used some peeled paint distress ink on the edge.  I put it on a paper that I thought would be perfect for th

Hello everyone!  It's time for the new challenge for  The east wind  and this time the challenge is black, white and one more color! For this make I decided to play with  Her story . I thought this was a fabulous image for a layout and in the color choices that I wanted to do!  So here is my little version with black, white and RED :)
