“Painting a Deer in Watercolor”

Posted on by

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.

Today I painted a deer for my other grandchildren that will also be turned into a puzzle. Hopefully he can get that done in the next few days – already for Christmas!! I will show you a picture of it.

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,

“Painting a Bunny in Watercolor”

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.

“25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 4”

Posted on by

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.

“25 Tags Till Christmas – Week 3”

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

I’m excited to show you week Three’s Christmas tag I made.  I think it’s a pretty one to add to our collection of our twenty-five we will end up making.

With the “Arctic Blast” upon us I hope everyone is safe. There is still plenty of time to shop for Christmas, but I’m glad I got mine done already. One of the many reasons I prepare early for Christmas is the weather. I like to stay cozy and warm when the cold and snow hits us hard like the other day. This is one more reason I like to make what I can in the craft room, little by little using my stash.

Happy Creating,

Vicki

“2nd Week of 25 Tags Till Christmas 2019”

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

Week two of making Christmas tags for our bags is a really cute candy cane design using watercolor, stickles, embossing powder, and a gel pen.  I think they turned out so cute! I love the look of candy canes.

Use whatever materials you have in the craft room and have fun!

Happy Creating,

“25 Tags Till Christmas”

Posted on by

Hello Everyone! I’m excited to film this video. I made a Christmas tag a couple years ago and thought, I’m going to save this until we are able to film video’s to share this with you all. I will make five similar tags each video five times.

That will give us twenty-five tags for our gifts, just in time for Christmas. I thought twenty-five is a good number since Christmas is Dec. 25th. I like to make things in groups. Since I have all my materials out it’s just easier to make a good amount of something.

I used my “to and from” stamp on the back of these tags. If you don’t have one you can just write that.

Happy Creating,

Vicki

“Let’s Paint Pumpkins, Leaves, and Acorns in Autumn

Posted on by

Hello Everyone, Gathering leaves, acorns, and finding pretty pumpkins in Fall, does it get any better than that!

I love color and getting out my color chart was so much fun. This painting is loaded with rich warm colors.  If you want to simplify this project, just eliminate some of the colors I used.

Happy Painting,

Vicki

“Let’s Paint Flip-Flops Left on the Beach”

Hello Everyone, I thought I’d paint this beach scene before Summer’s end! I had a good time painting this, I love the challenge of painting something new. There is so much to learn about painting, I love it.

I also mention some helpful tools you will see I use when painting and other helpful tips. Hope you can take a look.

Happy Painting/Creating,
