It's Softpencil Thursday!!


Happy Thursday Everyone!!

You know those weeks that go by in a stressed, super fast blurr?? Well I seem to be having one of those weeks!! I can't believe it's already Thursday. That means it's Softpencil Thursday again and for this week, we have a color challenge. We are also using this image called Michu is Flying on a Broomstick. This image is available at both AiFactory or Softpencil Etsy Shop. I love digi images but I love my rubbah too. So I've gotta break out my Halloween Rubbah and get busy or busier!! LOL


I am loving all the new releases that Elizabeth is making for us and this cute little digi kitty is no exception. I colored my image with copics and used a glue pen and glitter to draw the swirls on the moon and decorate the cute little hat. I love how this turned out. I wasn't sure about drawing the swirls on the moon but I think it turned out cute! I used Pebbles papers and cute little witch hat border by Bazzill. I hope you like it!! Thanks also for stopping by my blog. I love reading your comments, they mean so much!! Have a wonderful day!

Your Next Stamp Challenge

This is my 2nd post for today! Please scroll down for more fun!!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

I hope you are doing well today! Wow what a busy week so far!! I have been truly blessed as I have more wonderful news to share with you!! I have been asked by Karen to be a Guest Designer for October and November for Your Next Stamp. These are the cutest images ever and I am so excited to be a Guest Starlet for the next couple of months.

At Your Next Stamp we are having our very first challenge!!

The challenge is a colour combination!!
PINK & YELLOW!!

We have 1 rule...you must use a YNS image on your entry... so Karen has launched some limited edition DIGI stamps designed by Fhiona for those of you who don't have any YNS stamps yet! They are for sale starting today and are available until the end of the month!
So hop on over to the
Your Next Stamp Store to get yours now so you can enter our great challenge!

My card for the challenge uses the digi ghost image and the Happy Halloween digi sentiment from YNS. It's a very simple card but my pink and yellow is in the ribbons tied on each side of the ghost. I decided to be a little more subtle with my pink and yellow!! I used Reminisce papers, little tiny bat brads from my stash and ribbon from my stash. That's it! Simple but showcases the digi images perfectly!! I hope you like it!

Hop over to the Your Next Stamp blog for all of the details about the challenge and prizes Karen is giving away for our first challenge!!! I hope you'll play along with us and be sure to grab a challenge blinkie and spread the word.

We look forward to seeing your entries!! Good luck! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!

Nutty Nutshells Wednesdays!!!



Happy Wedneaday Everyone!!

I have some exciting news from the Nutshells Blog! We are starting our very own challenges!! They are called Nutty Nutshells Wednesday's and will be held twice a month. We are so excited to bring our challenges to you and we hope that you will play along with us. I will be overseeing the challenge blog and will have a challenge blinkie/badge for you very soon. To kick off our challenges, we are supplying you with a free digi image to use for your challenge entry. How awesome is that? She is the adorable Pecan Nut Halloween Witch. She is the cutest thing ever don't you think?? Of course the theme for the challenge is Halloween.



You can right click on her and save her to your computer and use her for your challenge entry.

For my card, I colored Pecan Nut Witch with my copics, used glitter pen on her hair, hat and shoes. I used a white gel pen for accent and ribbon and Heidi Grace paper. I cut out my circle with my nesties.

To kick off our challenges, Katie and Colette have offered a wonderful prize package for a lucky winner. Check it out:



Selection of Flowers, Prima Crystals and Pearls, Assorted Charms and the winners choice of any 4 Nutshells character stamps.

You may be asking, so how can I win this fabby prize? All you have to do is make a Halloween card or project using the lovely Pecan Nut Witch and leave a comment on Nutshells Challenge Blog with a link to your actual project, not your blog, your actual project. This makes it easier for us to find your awesome creations. If you post to an online gallery please use the keyword: NNW1. Before the next challenge on Oct. 20 I will draw a winner and announce it on the challenge blog at the time of the challenge.

You have two weeks to complete your card and leave your comment, good luck!! Be sure to visit the DT blogs and leave them some love! Their links are on my sidebar. We can't wait to see your creations, so spread the word and come play!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. It means so much when you leave me lovely comments and visit. I'll be catching up on my hopping in the next few days. Have a wonderful day!

Our challenge this week was to use watercolouring on our image. I used my H2O's. I used gold to tip the edges of the rose so it is really beautiful IRL. My camera is not wanting to cooperate! I used Heidi Grace papers, pearl gems, and a new Quickutz embossing folder to make my card. I tied it up with a little piece of ribbon, and all done!! I hope you like my card. Thanks for coming by my blog to visit!! I love getting comments from you and leaving them for you. I truly appreciate you! Have a wonderful day and GO HOP!!
