Be Mine forever

Morning. It's Thursday so it is Softpencil DT challenge day. This image is called 'Be Mine' (of course) and our challenge was to make a Spring card - you can find the tutorial here.

I did struggle with this card. It just didn't sit right so I ended up having to tape down the front triangle bit just so I could take a photo of it. I stamped up some Valentine stamps and just put some dimensional glitter glue and Kindyglitz on the red swirls. Hope you have a good day.

Two cute Musicians

Good morning everyone. I could use more sleep. LOL. Doesn't help that I went to bed late - for me at least and then up again early. At least my kids are in daycare today but it is the last day there for my big boy Tyler who starts Kinder properly next week. I can't believe he is so grown up.

Anyway - my card for this Thursday for Softpencil I made this birthday card. Our challenge this week was to use a recipe '1, 2, 3'. We could do whatever combo we wanted so I did '1 DP, 2 big balloon cut outs and 3 brads'. Nice bright card for a child I think. Have a good one.

Michu and Michula

Good morning my sweet blogging friends. Hope you are all well this glorious day. It is Thursday so that means it is Softpencil day. This gorgeous image is called 'Michu & Michula'. Ahhhh ain't love grand. Of course this is perfect for a Valentines card so I went with it. The design element for the DT today was (now I deleted the email we got with this image so not too sure whether I have this right) 'Rhinstones, brads, eyelets'. Hope that is right. LOL. Enjoy your day.

My little man Tyler has his Kinder interview today and he starts Kinder next week. OMG. My little boy is so grown up now.

A Lovely Couple


Good morning everyone. It is Thursday so that means it is Softpencil Thursday. This image is called 'A Lovely Couple' and is part of the new Valentine's images available in the Softpencil Shop. Our challenge was to use our favourite sketch. I love this sketch from Double Dutch that was posted on the 23rd March last year. It is such a great sketch. Enjoy your day.

Red, Cream & Olive

Hey sweethearts. Wow it is Thursday already. Can you believe the days are just flying by already. As it is Thursday that means it is Softpencil Thursday. This gorgeous image is called '2 birds, 2 cats'. It is perfect for your Valentine's cards or any love type of card. The design element for this week was to use the colours 'Red, Olive & Cream/Ivory'. LOL. Now I love red and white/cream but was at a loss with the olive so I coloured the grass with Olive copic and the dotted border of the image and the Love sentiment I used an olive marker. The white brad was also coloured with a copic.

Glitter glitter everywhere

Good morning everyone. I know it is Wednesday but Elizabeth asked us to have our creations done by today so I am posting a day earlier than normal for Softpencil. This image is called ' We made a Snowman'. Isn't it adorable....!!!! I think so anyway. Our design element with this image was to use 'Glitter/liquid applique/flock etc'. So I did two of those. I used liquid applique for the snow under the characters and snowflakes falling and Stickles Ice Glitter for the snowflakes. I also used 3D Kindyglitz for an outline on the image.

Enjoy your hump day. Only one more day of the week and then another long weekend. Woo hoo.

Anything but a card

It is Thursday. What does that mean.....???? Yep you got it. It is Softpencil Thursday. This week we have a great image by Elizabeth's talented sister. This is a Mandala and this one is called Devine Creation. Our design element was to make 'Anything but a card', so I made a gift box but I did cheat a little and made a matching Birthday card for my MIL. I gave this to her yesterday and she loved it. She loves this sort of thing. I used to draw something similar to this for her every year - I might show you one day. For today it is all about Softpencil.
This first photo didn't turn out too well as the Glimmermist makes it so hard to take a good photo. The one below shows a better view.
I made this box with SU US In Colors. Love these colours and the Thoroughly modern DP.

More Christmas wishes

Good morning. How is everyone today....???? I am well. Getting there. It is my day off from the kids today - woo hoo. They are all at Daycare so I have the day free. Yay...!!!!!

Being a Thursday it is Softpencil day. This image is called 'We wish you a Merry Christmas'. I love it. The design element this week was to use your favourite Christmas colour combo so I used my Bo Bunny papers again. I love these colours. Blue/green and Red is a great combo. I got my Spellbinders Create a Flake 1 & 2 in the mail on Monday so had to use on this card too.

I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for this card. Enjoy your day.

Be Creative

Morning all. It is Thursday so it is Softpencil day. This week we were given 'Simon thinking of Santa' who was designed by Elizabeth's talented sister Natalia. Very cute. Our design element this week was to 'Be creative' so I decided to make gift tags - these are absolutely perfect for them.

I loaded the images up in Gimp and added the text. Think it looks great. Punched out some snowflakes and sprayed with the Glimmermist and then a dot of Kindyglitz in the middle. Excellent - now I have 3 tags - one for each of my children. Ace. LOL.

Michu is giving gift away

Good morning all. Today is Thursday so it is Softpencil day. Now I will admit that I am in love with this gorgeous image. This is 'Michu is giving a gift away'. Isn't it just the sweetest....!!!! You need to check out the other cute Christmas images that Elizabeth has in store. They are just all so so so cute.

Our design element this week was 'Golden touches' so I went for my K&Company gold card and cut out some snowflakes with my Slice machine. I got the Fa La La Design card last week and have been itching to use it so teamed with this gorgeous paper from Bo Bunny it looks perfect.


Now I am posting this so early today as some of you in Australia are already sitting in the cinema watching New Moon. So jealous but I will be seeing it soon enough. Woo hoo the day is finally here. If you want to know about it then let me know - otherwise hope you love it. I will let you all know tomorrow morning how much I did. LOL.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

New Butterfly


Morning all. It is Thursday so Softpencil day. This is 'New Butterfly' and the gorgeous sentiment and paper is also from Softpencil. I must admit this card stumped me. I just couldn't get the elements right so it is very plain. The flowers at the top are 3 layers of tissue paper punched with my circle punches and then sprayed with Glimmermist after putting the brads in. Have a great day everyone.

PS. Only a week until New Moon is here. Woo hoo.

Michu and his happy flower

Good morning my fellow bloggers. Today is Softpencil preview day. This gorgeous digital stamp is called 'Michu and his happy flowers'. So so so cute huh...!!!!! Our design element this week was flowers - either with flower DP, flowers on the creation etc. I chose to have the flower DP and once again used Cosmo Cricket Early Bird DP. I wanted it to be a bright card and this certainly is a great DP for it. The stamp comes with Michu with his watering can and the three cute flowers. Just love it to bit. I really enjoyed putting this card together.

Enjoy your Thursday everyone.

I will cook for you today


Morning everyone. Today is Softpencil Thursday. Gosh I am loving previewing these stamps for you all. This stamp is called 'I will cook for you today'. Ain't it cute. The design element this week is bows so I grabbed my SU ribbon and did some pretty bows. I must say at the moment there is lots of Recipe DP's out there and this one is from Bo Bunny. I just love it. BasicGrey have also come out with a range calld 'Nook and Pantry' that would also be perfect for this image.

Go check out Softpencil's blog to see the other DT's work.
Enjoy your Thursday.

One Layer Card

Morning everyone. Okay okay nice and early but I am not really up doing a post at this time of the morning. It is scheduled. Hehehe. As soon as I finish a DT card I schedule a post so I don't forget. Yep I can be forgetful sometimes.

Guess what....!!!! It is Thursday. That means it is Softpencil Thursday (at least for me). This is Michu and his Enchanted House (so Michu is a boy - LOL I thought he was a girl Ooops). The design element this week was to make a 'One Layer card'. OMG what is a challenge without it being challenging but gosh some of these are getting harder and harder. With this card I printed the image large and added the sentiment underneath. With a Ruler and Copic fineliner I did a border for the image and coloured the image in with copics. A little bit of Kindyglitz for stars and a ribbon cut into the card at the sides of the image. There you have my one layer card. Phew. What an absolute challenge indeed. Enjoy your day peeps.

Let it Snow

Woo hoo it is Thursday. Hump day over and it is Softpencil preview day. This week we got the Winter set from Elizabeth to make a 'Pop Up' card. Now I don't want to offend anyone here but OMG who thought of this one....???? LOL I have never made a pop up card and I really struggled. I just couldn't figure it out for ages - it was only when I was forced to make it (as time was running out) that I managed to get it done. I just couldn't. At least it turned out alright.

Now the house is all white as I wanted it to be a winter wonderland house. I was going to use my white flowersoft but thought it would make the card too bulky so went with a little kindyglitz. The large image on the front of the card is actually from the Little Girls Collection that happens to be the same little girl in the Winter set. You can purchase any of Softpencil images at the Etsy Shop. Enjoy your day.

Happy Halloween


Hello everyone. It is another Thursday so it is Softpencil day. I must say I am absolutely loving the new releases from Elizabeth the talented owner of Softpencil and this little digi is no exception to that. This is Michu is Flying on a broomstick. Ain't he cute. At least I am calling him a 'he'. LOL. This week our design element is a colour combo. What do you think..???

I like the combo and hope I got it right. I paper pieced the moon and Michu's hat and cape. This was so much fun to make. Enjoy your day.

Softpencil Blog Hop

Welcome to the Softpencil's first ever blog hop. Can you feel the excitement....???? The blog hop will begin at Softpencil blog and continue from there. If you have come from Anne-Katrine's blog then you are in the right place. If you have started here then you need to head to Softpencil to start the hop.
I love love love the way this card turned out. The image (of course) is a Softpencil image and our design element was to watercolour. Now I will admit - I do not know how to watercolour but this image was coloured in with inks and my SU blender pen. Tip for you: if you want to watercolour digital images then print off on the card that you are using and then spray with hairspray. I left this to dry overnight. The ink on the image didn't run which is fantastic.

The blog hop starts at 12am US EST (which is 2pm here) and will go for the whole day. The purpose of the hop is to celebrate Softpencil's first challenge - starting tomorrow at Paper Craft Planet.

Your next stop is over to Ashley's blog. Once you get back to Softpencil you have a chance of winning a Digi. Have fun. Thanks for stopping by.
