Hello There! - It's Softpencil Tuesday!

How are you? Thanks for stopping by for another Softpencil Creation. Today I am using some of Elizabeth's fabulous stickers. This is from the CHARMING COLLECTION.  Let me tell you - these were so easy and fun to use! I was even able to add some of my own touches to them. See the little crystals in her hair? Or what about the little white dots? Oh and the glitter on the wings? All those were added by me to the sticker. LOVE making it all mine :D

I used an old sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC157). Since I was using stickers I decided to use one for the greeting as well. Nice to dig in my stash and use some stuff up!

You can see some other Softpencil creations by visiting the DT blogs (located on the right side of the blog) Hope you have a wonderful day - thanks so much for stopping by!

Softpencil Tuesday - Michu & Ratiny in a Heart

Today I'm back with a Softpencil Creation. Elizabeth has created some wonderful digi stamps perfect for Mother's Day. I decided to use Michu and Ratiny in a Heart. I love how they are peek-a-booing..

I added just a small flower as the image is enough. I used my white gel pen to dot around the pink. Just a few details...

Be sure to visit the other design team blogs to see their wonderful creations!

Thanks for stopping by!!

FBW #200 - Farewell to Flutter By!

Today is a hard one, folks! I mean how do you say good bye that has been a part of your life for so long (I'm talking YEARS!). Today is FBW's 200th challenge...but it's also our last! 

To honor the occasion we have a wonderful sketch by former team member Jen to use:

I know we can use fairies and angels but for the last flutter by I just had to use butterflies...and LOTS of them!!

I didn't have the small die jar from PTI so I just cut some off and made my own. You can't really tell but I put acetate over the jar to give it more of a glassy feel. I didn't add any sparkle (I know?!?! What was I thinking???) but will go back and definitely add that to the butterflies.

Thank you to Danni and the team members for a wonderful design team and challenge blog. So many opportunities and things have happened to be because of it and the support I've received. Thank you to ALL that have joined us in playing along - you have made FBW so successful and something that we will all treasure!

I hope that you'll still stop by to visit as I'll still be creating...keep fluttering friends!

It's A CHARMY Tuesday!!

Hello Friends - How are you? I'm back to show another fabulous Softpencil creation. Did you join us for the hop? There were so many inspiring creations to see and prizes to win! This week I'm showing CHARMY...She's a cute little fairy!

She has the BEST wings...perfect for lots and lots of sparkle!! I thought I was using a current Sweet Sunday Sketch for my card but when I went to look it's about 2 weeks old...it's still a fun one though! (SSSC156)

Well tonight I'm off to see The Lucky One...read the book and loved it! Oh and I better bring some tissues since I cried when I was reading the book, lol! Some teachers from Preschool are meeting for dinner and a movie. It seems like forever since I've gone out by myself and I'm really looking forward to it. Hope your day/evening is wonderful!

Thanks for stopping by!

We are celebrating the first year of my characters, the Tinytwinies, the first year of Softpencil Studios relaunching and my 10th anniversary as a professional artist. Plus we are also celebrating the opening of my own shop where all my products will be available: digi-stamps, clear stamps, stickers, rub-ons, kits for card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting (they include my new line of papers) and more products coming soon! 

There will be several prizes:
• I´ll be choosing a winner for each blog hop (three winners) who´ll receive a gift certificate of $15. 
• All the players who participate by leaving their comments on each blog of 1, 2 or the 3 blog hops will receive a free digi-stamp of their choice (or 2, or 3 depending on how many blog hops they have played in and completed. They´ll have to write me at elizabethpujalka@hotmail.com to let me know that.• Plus there are some "mystery blogs" - be sure to leave a comment on all the blogs because some will have an opportunity to win a digi-stamp. 


Whew, that's a lot of information...now on to my sample. I used Lilly for my card - she's one of my favorites! She's perfect for so many occasions!

Don't you just love that paper? It's my new Doodlebug 6x6 pad and it's oh so cute!
