Hello Everyone, I love designing and creating with scraps and pretty papers I have to make cards. I hope I give you some ideas to make pretty Valentine cards with the tips I talk about. Buying a Christmas wreath at 80% off at JoAnn Fabrics and decorating it with Valentine’s ribbon, etc. was a joy. You will see it in this video. I also show you the gifts I will give everyone this Valentine’s.

Hello Everyone, I’m so happy to keep busy in the craft room with so many pretty papers, ribbons, and materials that help me make what I’d like to make.

Hello Everyone, I had so much fun painting these adorable booties for a baby boy. They were a gift to my daughter for her son (she had twins – a boy and a girl) 2 1/2 years ago. I changed the colors of them and the blanket a bit and had fun creating that. Last week I painted the booties for her daughter.
Painting Baby Booties
I painted a border around the card for my first time and was happy how it turned out.

Hello Everyone, Two people in my life are going to have baby girls so I want to surprise them with a special card. I found a photo I took of booties my daughter received for her twins so I used that as a reference to paint a 5×7 greeting card with watercolor paints and pencils.

The twins were a girl and a boy so next week I thought it will be fun to paint baby boy booties too, as I have a picture of those also. She also received pretty blankets with the booties which I used as a background for the booties.
Happy Creating,

Hello Everyone, I’m very excited today as my husband Tom just completed making the puzzle I talked about out of my bunny I painted last week for my grandchildren.

Soon I will show you a picture of our Christmas cards we made this year as that was my 7th project I accomplished this year as I mentioned in another video – turning my materials I have in the craft room into something!
Hope you are having fun and able to stay calm and happy preparing for the holiday too.
Happy Holidays & Happy Creating,

Hello Everyone, Some projects bring me such joy. I’ve been wanting to paint this bunny for a few years now. I took a picture of a bunny on the lawn of my son and daughter-in-law’s home knowing someday I will paint it.

Hello Everyone, Week 5 brings us to the end of our tag making for the year. It was wonderful using materials I had in the craft room to create these tags.
25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 5
25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 4
25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 3
25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 2
25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 1
I think you’ll enjoy making this tag. I just decided to add the bow today and I love that look. I love using twine, it just gives things that rustic look that I love.
Have fun and happy creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
Today our tags have a little sparkle and our snowman is looking so cute.
I have wonderful memories of playing in the snow and making snowmen as a child and with my children. We will be doing some stamping today and using Inktense Watercolor pencils.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
