Crafting Vicky

Hello!  Happy Indepence Day to all our American friends!  I had my holiday on Friday being from Canada so today it's back to work I go.  I hope that you will get to enjoy this day with family or doing some crafting :) I'm here for my inspiration post of the month over at Karleigh Sue and this time I played with my "En Masse" journal.  This is a little junk journal that I made where I put down multiples of an image of something that I liked or that inspired me to collect it and glue it down.  There's something about glueing paper down that brings back the kid in us!!! Anyway, I can't do a simple glueing down... I seem to need to personalize it a bit and that's where the fabulous digis from Karleigh Sue came in.  The page that I'm sharing today is with a collection of lipstick and of course there was a PERFECT digi to go with this.  I also found an awesome sentiment while doing a google search and I thought it totally completed the pages. The digi

WOW where does the time go?!?  Anyway it's the 1st of July and I just realized that all the post that I'm sharing today are from Canadian artists!!!  How cool is that?  So if you missed the other ones check it out. This post is about Oddball design.  There's a wonderful FB challenge and you can do WHATEVER you want so long as you use an Oddball image.  This time I chose to make something with a digi that I colored while away with my friend Erin (which I miss a LOT right now!!!).  And I used an index card that had left over paint as a background :)  super fast and easy and most of all FUN. The image that I used is  Image 297 Here is the make: I had a big stamp that I purchased from a liquidation at my local craft store and I finally used the words from it here!!!  The image was colored with both copics (the fairy)  and colored pencils (all the books).   I also added some gelli roll pen on the wings.  I fussy cut her out.  And I used my Faber castell pen to edge it

Hey everyone! Let me start by wishing all my fellow Canadian friends a very happy Canada day!!! Hope you get to enjoy your day doing stuff you adore. In my case I'm sure hoping that there will be a little wine involved :) And that brings me to this post. There's a challenge going on at Scribbles design challenge . And this time it's about sip and Savour. That automatically makes me think of a nice glass of wine. So I decided to use the wonderful image a-07-wine-500 to create a little decoration for my en masse journal where I collected some wine labels!  Yup I'm going nuts about doing all sorts of paper collection.  But in this case it can be useful to remember the wines that we liked! The very intricate image was colored with my coloring pencils.  I attached a big paper clip to the back with some small duck tape.  And VOILÃ embellishment made :) That's it for me for today.  Hope you have a wonderful day. Stay creative Hug

Happy Canada day!!!!! :)  YUP it's vacation time around my place and I'm hoping for a gorgeous day that I can be spending at my little outdoor market buying fresh vegetables! And this also means a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and it's about tearing paper up!!!!  Of course, if you are a subscriber to the newsletter (all free) you will have gotten a wonderful freebie image and this is the image that I played with! I decided to work in my homemade journal for this time. The background was made using some brushos and some Color burst from Ken Oliver. Super easy and fun and of course totally unpredictable that is the most fun of it all!!!!  The sentiment is from Dylusions and I used some teared up papers that I received in one of my swaps to do this.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut. I hope that you will like this inspiration and that you will be coming over to play in our new challenge!  Most of all do REGISTER for the freebie

There was a fabulous new release this month over at  Karleigh Sue .  And today I get to share with you another one of them :) I chose to play with the wonderful  Jessica Jones .  I did this journaling page while I was away for a weekend with my friend Erin.  I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do.. but I had been playing with magazine cut out and saw this great page that I thought would work fabulously with her. The bottom part of the page is done with a brown paper bag that the wine purchased came in.  The sentiment was found online and then I stamped it out individually to make it.  I lined the paper with some newspaper :)  Yup recycling at it's best.  The wonderful image was colored with my copics.  I even made her a plaid shirt!  I was very proud of that.  And then I fussy cut her out. I will be entering this in the following challenges: ccee stampers  - Mixed media Aud sentiments challenge blog  - Funny Sentiment - I think this one is pretty funny Craft
