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)

"My Boys" Binder Album

This is the first time I've ever done an "empty" album... I made this one for my step-mom, and left the pages "blank" for her to add pictures of my step-brothers. The binder album is from Maya Road, and the PP I used is K&Co "Rough & Tumble" line. The letters are AC Thickers, except for the last page, which are Heidi Swapp.

"Family" Accordion Album

This is my first-ever accordion album, and I love, Love, LOVE the way it turned out! This was for my MIL. The album is from Maya Road and I covered the "photo side" with K&Co Que Sera Sera paper.

On the back-side, I covered some Color-boc chipboard letters with the K&Co paper to spell "Family." For the background, I painted each piece in a different MM paint color, then used my Dreamcoat Crackle medium with white on top. Then I did various applications and techniques using glimmer mist and embossed designs to "frame" them out.

This "M" background turned out really neat... after I sprayed on the glimmer mist, I heated it up with the heat gun and it "bubbled" up the paint! Cool!
