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

Latest Round of Layouts

Well, once again, my scrap moments are few and far between lately. Here's a collection of the one's I've completed over the last couple of months. However, my goal lately has been to complete layouts that I started and never finished (I am famous for doing that). So here goes...

Christmas '08 (yes, 2008) :o(


PP: Basic Gray (Figgy Pudding); Stamps (around title) - Stampin' Up!; Glitter letters - Making Memories; Sticker accents - K&Co.

This next one is one of those that I had stashed away for a long time, and I finally got around to finishing it!


PP: Basic Gray (Lime Rickey); Letters - AC Thickers

Another one that was on the back-burner for awhile - July '08!:


PP: Basic Gray (Boxer); Stamps/Ink - Stampin' Up!; Cricut cart (title) - Gypsy Font; Letter Stickers - Cosmo Cricut.

And here is Halloween 2008:



PP - Recollections; Edge punches - Martha Stewart; Letters - AC Thickers.

This is probably the oldest one of all - I am so happy to have finished it, and I love how it turned out! I punched the hearts out and used them as a mask on the background and sprayed glimmer mist on top. Then I removed them and doodled lines around them. The photos were printed on vellum and punched out with my circle punches.


PP: Basic Gray (Sugar Rush); Glimmer Mist; Punches - Stampin' Up!; Letters - AV Thickers & Gypsy Font (Cricut Cart)

This is a straight-up lift from Kelly Goree. I love everything she does with Basic Gray!


PP: Basic Gray (Bittersweet); Martha Stewart edge punch; Storybook Cricut Cart.

And yet ANOTHER LO that has been in the works for a while... I went crazy with all the handstitching and would work on it here and there - I finally hunkered down and finished it!!! (BTW - I have another LO sitting around that I started to stitch, and I wonder how long it will take me to get that one finished):


PP: Basic Gray (Marrakech); Tim Holtz Metal Embellishments.

This is one that I basically gave up on Plan A and went to Plan B. I prefer Plan B much better:


PP: DCWV (Mod-Retro, I think)

Another 100% lift from Kelly Goree (LOVE this paper!):


All supplies used are from Basic Grey (Wisteria).

I was surprised this one turned out as good as it did. It wasn't going that well at first:


PP: We R Memory Keepers (MVP); Star Punches - Stampin' Up!

Thanks for Lookin'!!! :o)

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)

Pumpkin Layouts

I can't believe it! I actually scrapped! It's been awhile, sadly. :o( Even more sad is that these layouts are from LAST October... so I am officially a year behind!

This first one uses PP from the "All Fall" line by Fancy Pants. The chipboard glitter accents are from MM - they were originally blue, but I re-covered them in green glitter. Letters are from AC - Thickers.

This Layout uses Martha Stewart PP, MM Letters and journaling paper, and Stampin' Up! Stamps (Halloween Frights).

2 more LOs

Just a couple more layouts I did the other night...

This one uses the Fancy Pants "papa" collection and some SU kraft cardstock.

This one uses a page from the B&W butterfly stack from M&MBI, some chip chatter letters and I cut the black music notes from some glitter paper by Marcella K using my Cricfut Joys of the season cart.

It's graduation time! And we have lots of them in the family! What better way to get these cards done than to incorporate this week's Color Inspiration Challenge from Kristina Werner?

Mother's Day Cards & KWCIC #51



Here's 2 Mother's Day cards I did last night based on the Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge. I love these challenges, especially when I'm on a time crunch like I am right now... It really helped me to get focused and get 'em done!



On this first card, I used SU stamps (Packet Silhouettes & Lexicon of Love), SU Ink in More Mustard and Staz-on Timber Brown. The scalloped square was punched from my 6x6 pad of BG Euphoria, the crocheted ribbon is from Fancy Pants and I used a random fuschia fiber in my supply.



PP on this one was from the DCWV '09 Spring Stack, Michael's ribbon, and the stems and leaves were stamped from the Botanical Blooms SU stamp set. Ink colors are all SU: More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, and Pink Passion. I used plain white Prima mini-flowers and colored them using the same colors in my SU markers.
