Gift bags and tags!

Hello everyone!

Today I've been trying to clean up some files on my computer and I found these free files (except the handbag file - that is from the Silhouette Store) ... so I decided to try them out ... by Shery K Designs.

I chose some paper from my 'small' (;-)) stash and prepared for cutting. Before sending to cut I noticed my page had some space so I quickly drew some tags to have on hand for future use (why waste pretty paper!).

I love the butterfly ones the best ... what do you think?
See you soon ~ Happy crafting ~ *Vicki*

General catch up!

Hello everyone,

Today my son went back to school for the month of July so I've been catching up on things at home and in my craft room!

So I was looking into printers recently and narrowed it down to two - Canon and Epson. I wanted something that printed my colours with some brightness and also offered large format so I'd have the option of printing 12x12 paper or slightly bigger. I kept comparing the two and always ended up choosing the Canon but needed something to convince me as they were pricey. When I saw the Canon on sale at $150 off the asking price I convinced my husband to buy it. :-). It is quite big but I managed to find a place for it.

I started working on my next project for 'The Hybrid Chick' blog and I'm very pleased with the printer, the colours look great even on matte paper ... can't wait to try it out on some photo paper soon.

My next Hybrid Chick project will be posted soon.

Enjoy your day, we have a beautiful sunny one in Toronto today!

Ciao, Vicki

Ready Set Go ... !!!

Hello friends

It has been too quiet on my side for a little while and I'm looking forward to jumping back into the action and creating beautiful projects to share with you.

My family and I recently moved into a new home and the last few months have been 'topsy-turvy' - I have been packing/unpacking, purging and sweating!

But it's been worth it ... we are settled into our new home, still boxes to unpack while I find a place for all our possessions - but Oh My Goodness I have my own CRAFT SPACE and I'm over excited!!! 

My son is happy with his new room ... always a relief for a parent! Our neighbourhood has less traffic and there are more kids around. We will miss our lovely neighbours but we know where they live! And they sell awesome goodies at their store so I'll be visiting them there too.

I'm deciding on my next few projects ... so look out for me soon.

Until another day,
Vicki :-)
