Jammin Jayden - Crafting Vicky

Hello everyone!  I'm here this month with all masculine makes!!!  I know right?!? (yeah same start from last post lol) but it's true!!! It's rare that I did Art by Mi Ran male pieces!!!

This is my very last post on the showcase!  I am leaving Art by Mi Ran.  Sad but at the same time I thought it was time.  Not sure that my stuff is up to all the fab work I see on here :)  I'm feeling that I'm totally fortunate to have been able to be here from the beginning and have been with this totally AMAZING group of artists!!!  And the most fabulous of them all is Mi Ran!  So sweet and generous with her time and advice.  LOVE HER and totally will be continuing to follow her and make stuff with her art.

Anyway enough before I start crying here.... My last make is a playful one for my little nephew's b-day that is coming up.  I thought that  Jammin Jayden would be perfect for him.

I used a lot of left over papers that I had in my stash.

And here's the image closer colored with my copics.

Sophia - Crafting Vicky

Well Christmas is at our door!!!  And that meant that I really really had to finish off my calendar in order to be able to mail it out as a gift and have it there in time!  I'm very lucky the great Art by Mi Ran image came to the rescue for the month that I still had to finish!

For this make I decided to play with the adorable Sophia.

I used the theme of the month which was use gold or Silver.  In my case I used some gold with the washi tape border.  I also colored the butterfly in a yellow gold color.  I colored my image using some copics and then I fussy cut her out.

Oh my.... time is flying by so very fast and my calendar is still not complete.  It's a good thing that I had to make this fabulous post here because it gave me the opportunity to do one more month for the calendar that I'm making as a gift.

For this make I decided to play with the adorable Peaceful thoughts.

Here's the little calendar that I made with this cutie that I colored with my copics.  I still have to make the holes on this calendar.  I will be making a video flip through when all the months are completed.

Sassy Sandra - Crafting Vicky

Well I am happy to report that I like this month theme for the showcase a WHOLE lot better lol.  It's all about tags and those I can manage.  Of course, seriously you can manage pretty much everything with Art of Mi Ran images but I still like making those a whole lot more than box cards....

Here's the image that I worked with  Sassy Sandra.  I'm not quite sure yet what I will be using her for but I knew that I wanted her to be kinda vintage.

And I'm quite happy with the result.  I really went Shabby chic with this one.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.

Hello Mr Snowman box card - Crafting Vicky

OMG.... I hate hate hate making box cards lol and when I saw that this was the showcase choice for this month I've been dreading it... and procrastinating.  It's a good thing that Mi Ran's image are sooooo adorable that they get the inspiration going.

Here's the image that I worked with  Hello Mr Snowman. I decided that if I was to do a box card I would get ready for Christmas time and all the gift card wrapping that I need to do.

I think it turned out quite cute.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.

And finally the opening of the box/card on the back

Maple - Crafting Vicky

OMG I don't know where time is going but fall is already at our door soon.  And that means that Christmas will soon be around.... yikes I know.  But that also means that if I want my Christmas present done I have to get cracking because this year I decided to make a lot of calendars.  They seem to be quite popular and it's something that is useful.  I really want to be able to give gifts that will be of some use to people.

Of course that also means that I might be doing months that are not in fashion just in order to get my months done lol.  This time around the digi that I chose was just perfect for this time of year.  It's the fab  Maple.  And since the showcase was about warm colors I thought it was even better!

So here's my little calendar for the month of October.

Tessa - Crafting Vicky

Well the new showcase challenge for us is Cool colors.  I don't  know for you but to me that means pale and blues.... so that's what I tried to use for this make.  I'm still trying to do other things than cards so for this I made a postcard that is being used in a swap :)

The image that I used is Tessa.  I really love how she looked for this!

Our challenge in the swap was to use all sorts of materials we had received in previous swaps and that's what I did here.

I colored this sweet little image with my copics.  And I think she was just perfect for this.  What do you think?!?  If you want to know more you can come to my blog.

Cocktail Anne - Crafting Vicky

Well the new showcase challenge for us is anything but a square card!  So I thought this would be the perfect time to work on my vacation smash book.  Last year I did all the page while camping... but that was stressful to have to find embellishments for them.  This year I'm thinking that I will embellish a bunch ahead of time.

The image that I used is Cocktail Anne and I thought she would be totally perfect for a vacation smash book.  She doesn't get much more vacation than that!

I used a bunch of Project life cards to make a story to go with her and I think I did manage to make this quite the summer book!

And here's a closer look at the cutie that I colored with copics.  If you want the details on how I made this you should come here.  I can't imagine a more perfect digi than this for a vacation layout.  You really should think of using them for other things than cards!!!!

I was really happy with my result.  I love the feel of this smash book!

Dreaming of Spring - Crafting Vicky

It's spring here!  Finally it's been pretty cold last week but this week it's better and what a perfect image to use for a card right now right?!?

The image that I used is Dreaming of spring and I thought she would be totally perfect for a little thank you card!

For this card I made again another flower by hand.  I made the center as well and I'm really happy with the result.  Since it was big I left the rest of the card fairly CAS because I really wanted the great image to have the attention.

And here's a closer look at the cutie that I colored with copics.  If you want the details on how I made this you should come here.

Bed Time - Crafting Vicky

Big hello!  I haven't been crafting much but I have been coloring images and one of them is the one that's on this card!

I just fell in love with this image Bed Time and knew that I wanted to do something with her.  Wasn't sure until last morning what.... lol she was colored for a little bit and only got onto a card.

I've been kind of in a funk right now and I wanted to challenge myself so I used a sketch that I found online and did a totally new type of flower homemade!  So I was pretty happy with the sweet result.

And here's a closer look at the cutie that I colored with copics.  If you want the details on how I made this you should come here.
