It's Softpencil Thursday!!


Happy Thursday Everyone and if you are in the states, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

Today is Softpencil Thursday and Elizabeth gave us Simon...thinking of Christmas. This is a cute image, so check him out!! Unfortunately, sickness and hubby being home have prevented me from creating anything with this image this time around. I know...I love having Brittany and hubby around, but they don't allow for any creative time. Even late at night. When you're sick, "the late at night" doesn't work out very well. Last night I fell asleep sitting up in front of my computer trying to do my blog posts and upload pics to my galleries. What a pain in the neck...literally!! hee hee.

Anyway, I also wanted to let you know that the new Christmas Softpencil images are in!!! Boy are they cute! If you haven't seen them, check them out here! Don't forget to join us at our PCP weekly challenge for a chance to win Softpencil stamps! Please visit the other DT diva's blogs for more inspiration. Their links are on the side bar.

Thanks for coming by my blog today to visit. I really appreciate you and your lovely comments! Have a wonderful day!

YNS Blog Hop Winner!!

PLEASE BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN AND SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS FOR TODAY

Hi Everyone,

YNS (Your Next Stamp) had our blog hop that ended on November 17th. Karen was kind enough to give each starlet a couple of the new Christmas Digi's to give away and I need to announce my winner!! Sorry I'm a couple of day's behind. That seems to be the story of my life lately!! This has been the worst sinus season I've had a while. Ugh! I can't get rid of it!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO !!!

My winner is itsabrt and her blog addy is http://inkyfingersrule.blogspot.com/.

If you could email Karen at YNS she will get those to you right away!! Thank you so much for participating in our blog hop and enjoy your digi's!!

It's Softpencil Thursday!!!

Please scroll down and check out my post from earlier! Thanks!

Happy Thursday to you!! Ok just to get this out of the way...are you ready for New Moon!!!! OMG I cannot wait. Even though I feel like you know what, my shot of antibiotics and all my meds should sustain me...I hope!! Tomorrow I may drop like a stone but at least I will have the movie under my belt (and probably some popcorn)!!

Ok onto my project for Softpencil Thursday. For this week's challenge, we are using this adorable image called Michu is giving gifts away' Today's challenge was to use some gold on our project. For my project I made an ornament or a gift tag. Whichever way you want to use it. Two for one, can't beat that!! I colored Michu with my copics and cut out my shapes with my nesties. I punched a hole in the top and tied some ribbon on the top. Simple but so sweet. I used gold gel pen to color the ribbon on the package and the runners of the sleigh. I think he turned out pretty sweet. Iused glitter on his hat for some extra bling!


I also wanted to remind you about the new images... have you seen them yet? If not, click here! You will want them all, they are so adorable!! Thanks for the wonderful images Elizabeth!! I also wanted to say that working with this DT has been so fun and everyone is so sweet...I just love it!! Thanks ladies!! Please check out the other DT diva's creations and leave us some love. Their links are on the sidebar.I also wanted to remind you that we have the Softpencil challenge every Saturday. If you don't have any Softpencil designs, you can shop here or click here for a freebie to start out with.

I hope you enjoyed my little Michu ornament/tag as much as I enjoyed making it. Have a wonderful day and I'll be back soon with some more goodies to share with you!!

Nutty Nutshells Wednesday 4!!!



Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

For this week's Nutty Nutshell's challenge, we are going to make a Thank You/Thankful card using ANY line of stamps that we carry in our Nutcrafter's store!!! That makes it nice and easy for everyone to participate!! So go over to Nutcrafter's and see our selection of stamps from lots of different companies such as The Greeting Farm, Stampavie, Magnolia, Ladybug & Friends, High Hopes, Buddy Bear and Sarah Kay. You can also get our Nutshells, Harriet Hurst and our Digi Images Pink Frosting - our Breast Cancer Awareness set and our Christmas Angel digis. Which are too cute! With our huge range of images, you probably have something you can put some ink on!!


For my card I used one of the Christmas Angel digi stamps and colored her with my copics. I used glitter on the cloud and her wings (so sparkly IRL). I attached a pretty snowflake trim and dew drops for accent. I used a scalloped piece of silver cardstock with a piece of pretty glittered paper cut with my nesties. I mounted her on pop dots.

So pick an image and show us your creations. Leave us a comment on the Nutshells blog with a link to your creation not just a link to your blog. You just might win yourself some wonderful prizes!!

Softpencil Thursday on Friday!!


Hi everyone, how is your week going? Mine is going relatively ok. I just wonder sometimes, why we don't get instruction manuals when we have our children!! Do you ever wonder that? If God had asked me if I wanted one, I would've said sure, absolutely. While I spent a day and half trying to give birth to my child, what's a couple more pushes to get out a manual?? Of course this manual would need to cover the emotional outbursts of your child to the complicated medical workings os them as well!! LOL Sometimes it's just a little overwhelming, that's all.
We've been passing this sinus junk around between the three of us for a month or so. So this past Fri. Brittany got it again. Of course since I have asthma, I immediately got it again too. My husband is pretty lucky. He usually dodges the bullet, so to speak. I get up to take her to school and we're going through the drop off line and she says"mommy I don't feel so good". Yeah, as most mothers know, this usually means a most icky situation is coming. LOL So I pull all the way though the line and back home. I was up all night last night with my own issues and was looking forward to taking a good nap when I dropped her off. Of course that didn't happen, so I'm just now (at 12:00 am) getting on my computer to post this and hopefully get right back to bed. I know we're fortunate to have a silly, sassy, spunky, healthy daughter. But sometimes, I just want to ask that question to see if anyone else would've been willing to give that couple of extra pushes to get that much needed manual!! LOL Thanks for listening to me ramble.

Ok, this week's Softpencil challenge was to use this adorable pink digi paper, tag and butterfuly stamp on our creation. Well, if you read or follow my blog at all, using pink is certainly not a stretch for me!!




This is my out of focus shot that shows the pretty pink Shimmerz on her wings!

I also wanted to let you know that the new Christmas Softpencil images are in!!! Boy are they cute! If you haven't seen them, check them out here! Don't forget to join us at our PCP weekly challenge for a chance to win Softpencil stamps! Please visit the other DT diva's blogs for more inspiration. Their links are on the side bar.

I hope you like my creation as much as I enjoyed making it for you. Thanks for coming by my blog today to visit. I really appreciate you and your lovely comments! Have a wonderful day!

Your Next Stamp Challenge 3





Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Wow, it's November already!! At Your Next Stamp, Simonne is challenging all of us to make a Christmas card or creation ...WITHOUT the colors red and green!


There are lots of non-traditional Christmas papers out there, so I'm sure you won't have any trouble resisting the urge to get out your green and red pens! In fact, over at Your Next Stamp, Karen has a whole host of Christmas crafty stash, including paper, card, buttons, brads, baubles, stamps (of course!), etc. View the complete range by clicking here.


As always, we have 2 fabulous prizes for you to win:


1. The challenge hostess, Simonne will choose her favorite card, and that winner will get the YNS Challenge Winner blinkie to proudly display on their blog.


2. We will randomly-choose one challenge entry to receive a YNS stamp set.


You must use a YNS stamp on your card or creation. Karen has launched some great new limited edition Christmas digi stamps, which you can buy instantly from the YNS store by clicking here I used this adorable Fhiona stamp for my card. I kept the design very simple and let my image be the focal point. I used some glttery snowflake paper by The Paper Studio, from my stash. I cut my image out using my nesties and I colored her with my copics. I colored in some ice underneath her and used Gossy Accents to make it shiny. I cut out my sentiment and colored over the words with my copics. Simple but fun!




To enter, follow the challenge and use a YNS stamp somewhere on your creation, post it on your blog or in your online gallery, and post the direct link to it using the Mr Linky widget on the challenge post. (Please do not post a general link to your blog or gallery, as this makes it more difficult for us to find your card - thanks!). If Mr Linky is not working, please post your link in the comments section on the blog post, and we will add it for you when the widget is back up and working. If you are posting your card to your SCS gallery, please use the keyword ynsc3 and then post a direct link to it in Mr Linky. Entries for challenge 3 close at midnight (EST) on Tuesday November 17th. So get out those non-tradional Christmas papers and get busy! You might be our lucky winner!!



Thanks for stopping by my blog today. It means so much that you take time to stop and visit. Please leave me a comment so i know you were here! I'm still trying to play catch up with my blog hopping, so please be patient with me. I'll be around to visit you in the next few days.
