Crafting Vicky

Ouf... Last post of the day :)  This last one is for the new Oddball Design FB challenge !!! And you should totally enter since it's anything goes always with Oddball images.  If you don't have an image go right on over the store and use the code DTVICKY10 to get a 10% off your purchases! And yes I have another postcard to share with you.  However for this one I have done a video that you will be able to see here: The entire reason for this postcard was to share with a friend what I had made with a puzzle piece from a puzzle she gave me.  However if you didn't watch the video... I can tell you I was really surprised by the size of the puzzle piece.  I thought it would be small ones.  Which obviously you can see is not the case.  But I was able to make something with it so I was really happy that it worked in the end. The image was colored with my copics.  I used my faber castell pen on the stenciled pieces and of course lots of paint.  The stencil used for the

I'm totally OBSESSED with making postcards!  People like to get them and they are a great way to recycle all the cereal boxes that my kids go through!!! So for the midway point of Scribbles Challenge about tools I figured this would be a great opportunity to make a little postcard for my dad. For this make I'm using Tool Belt .  The background of this postcard was started using left over paint through a stencil way back.  I thought it was pretty neat so I didn't want to lose this.  I decided to add just some watered down yellow paint. The image itself was colored with my coloring pencils.  I added some pattern paper and some crossword puzzle paper that was left on my desk.  The sentiment was found online and I thought it was just PERFECT. Well it's a super busy day today... but I still have one more!  So please do come back for it. Hugs

Hello!  I don't know about you but there is one type of card that I really really HATE to make but that are required in life and that is a sympathy card.  My stash was totally empty.   So when I saw the challenge this month for Delicious Doodles was to use Pearls and Lace I thought YAY that is going to be perfect for making an elegant sympathy card.  Especially since there are so many wonderful images from Delicious Doodles that would fit the bill for this.  This time around I used the image    Lily of the Valley Border The paper that I used is from Bobunny.  I added some lace trim as well as some pearl trim.  I thought it really finished this card off!  The image was colored with my copics but prior to printing it I had put a sentiment that I stretched from TLC. I still have more creations to come so I really hope that you will come again :) Hugs

Hello everyone!  It's the start to a new month and that means a new challenge and a new freebie over at  The East wind .  The challenge this month is to use something new as well as something old. For my journaling I decided to use an old background that had been created in an art class.  My other old items are the stamps that I have used.  I used a Tim Holtz sentiment (which I thought was perfect for the new part as well lol) and a border from Dyan Reaveley. I colored the awesome image with my copics.  I fussy cut her out and fussy cut out a backing to her as well. I had a lot of fun to create this and I sure hope that you will have fun with this cutie as well!!! There's lots more coming up so please do come back :) Hugs

Hello!  I'm here for my 2nd inspiration post of the month for Karleigh Sue and I had fun journaling again.  But this time just for the fun of it in a journal that I made some time ago and don't use enough! Here is the make using the wonderful image  Have you heard . Since it's an homemade journal the pages are from the book itself.  And the background came together as an accident because I had put too much brushos on the page on the other side.  When I closed the book to try to absorb some of it this is what happened :)  Love it when the background makes itself!  I use some prima metallic chalk edger in gold. The image was colored with my copics.  Hope you like it!!!

Hello!  It's Tuesday and it was a fabulous long weekend here!!!  Just GORGEOUS and I actually was able to go in the pool yesterday which is pretty amazing because it's really really early in the season and we only got it fully working on Saturday... so yeah all good I'm here to share with you what I made as my cover for a new junk journal for a friend.  I'm trying to make her happy and give her something to look at when she's not feeling well. The great image that I used is from Rick St-Dennis and it's called  April Daisy You can see the making of the journal cover here I had a lot of fun coloring this image with my copics.  The buttons were colored with wink by stella and then I used my gelly roll pen on it. The stencils that I used are from Megan Suarez ( you can find them on etsy)  I used a little tissue paper from a shoe box.  The background of the sentiment is from a spellbinder die and I used a little bow colored with my copics.  The sentiment

While I was in Greece the world lost a great artist.  And at the time I wasn't able to express how sad I was with this loss. Prince meant so much to me.  My teenage years were marked with his singing and of course my dancing... not that I danced all that well but I thought so at the time. Anyway when I saw this fabulous digi from Karleigh Sue I knew that I totally HAD to play with it for this tribute. I wanted to have some of the words of one of his song as the sentiment on this... but at the same time the album Purple Rain with that song was just my 1st thought... but the song didn't fit however "When doves cry". I colored the image with my copics.  The background was made with some deli paper that I painted purple then I did some dendritic print on it with white paint and tore those out.  I added some ribbon as well as a spellbinder diecut.  I used some prima chalk paint on the side.
