WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Welcome one and all to my little world! What will you find here, you ask? Well, you will definitely see a lot having to do with my favorite hobby - scrapbooking (both traditional & digital) and paper crafts. I also like to post tidbits about my life every once in a while to keep it "personal." The biggest stars in my world are my son, William, and my hubby (and biggest fan), David! I hope you enjoy it here, and please feel free to become a follower (Click "Follow this Blog" below to the right!). I'm constantly adding new ideas, great deals I may find on craft goodies and you may even run into a tutorial every now and then! Happy Blogging! :o) ~Vicky Jo

This year's V-Day mini album

This year's V-Day mini album for David. The base is from Maya Road, I covered it with BG "Bittersweet" PP. I used lots of Tim Holtz metal embellies, and my SU heart punch for the pics. The scalloped heart behind all the photos is a SU embosslitz die for the big shot.

TFL! :o)

"Finally Fall"

I love how this one turned out! My favorite part is the hand-stitched swirl with the die cut leaves. PP is Fancy Pants "About a Boy" collection.

"Giving Thanks"

Ahhhh! Here we go... this one's a bit better. I can't believe I'm just barely getting around to scrappin LAST Thanksgiving though. As in 2008. Man... I have a lot of catching up to do!

I broke out an old BG line for this LO - "Infuse"! Remember that one? :o)
