Crafting Vicky

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone!  Happy that the week is progressing because it means that I'm closer to going to meet my crafty friend Erin this weekend! Today I'm here to share with you the card that I made for my youngest son who is turning 13!  Wow I really feel old... The image that I used is from Rick St-Dennis and it's just a JOY to color!!!  you can find it here:  Band Kid . The paper is from Basic Grey - Life of the party.  I used a bunch of la la land dies as well and I finished it off with some stars that were in my stash.  The image was colored with my copics. I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Cards in envy  - Boys - that's the case and the card is not thick at all... I really don't know how to embellish boy cards...

Lahla Mermaid shell  was perfect to start a new project of mine which is Pick a stick monthly challenge There's a facebook group that gives some inspiration for journaling and I really wanted to play along since I learned of them!  The good news is that the 1st prompt for January (yup I'm behind) required a quote from a song!  Well the fabulous mermaid totally made me think of Ariel!  And I new right away the song that I wanted to use on this. I've been having lots of fun as well using some unexpected journals for my art and for this it's a magazine that I could just not throw away!  So it's the base of this make.  If you want to see the making of this you can go and check out the video here . And here is the finished look! To make this I used some scrapbook papers, lots of paints, some stencils as well as texture paste.  The image was colored with my copics and I put lots of Jelly roll pen on her to make her all shiny. I hope you will be checking out this 

Hello and happy Sunday!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at  More mixed media challenge  and this time it's purple. But the rules have changed... so you can either do the option which is purple or just do mixed media :) For mine it was the perfect opportunity to do something for an upcoming junk mail swap.... yup a swap about transforming junk mail!!!!  I used a great image from Bloobel stamps that I purchased (just fell in love with that image!). I have a video to share the making of this:  And here is my make, I love purple so that wasn't hard at all!!! I used LOTS of paint on this as well as napkins, and stamping and buttons and the text is from a magazine!  The image was colored with my copics and I used some watercolor for her background. I hope this inspires you to do something with your junk mail!!! Have a great Sunday. Hugs

Hello and happy Friday!  Hope you all had a great week.  Mine was good but very busy and I'm looking forward to relazing time over the weekend! I'm here today to share with you a make for the new release image over at The East Wind . I have a video to share with you the process of this and how I came about the big BLOB on her head... oh well it happens right?!?  I still think the rest is pretty cute. And here is the postcard if you don't want to watch the video. I made this with paints and washi tapes. I also used some stencils.  I had fun!  The sentiment was found online.  The image was colored with my copics. Hugs

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
