A Tribute to Elizabeth Pujalka and Softpencil Studios

If you are a Softpencil Fan, you know that Elizabeth is closing the digital image part of Softpencil Studios. Images will be available until August 1st on Etsy. You can get 5 images for $10. Elizabeth has had some legal problems that you can read about HERE. Someone has violated her Copyright and Terms of Use.
My heart goes out to Elizabeth! She is such a sweet and talented lady. Softpencil is the very first DT that I was invited to join. (I saved the email). I remember jumping out of my chair, letting out a WHOOP of joy, and scaring my son half to death! LOL
Inspired by Kerry, who is also on the Softpencil DT, I created a slideshow video with all of my Softpencil Creations.

  Thanks for the Memories, Elizabeth!

NEWS from Softpencil Studios!

The GOOD News is Elizabeth has a new release:

The Cupcakes Collection!

Amy on a Cupcake

 Charmy on a Cupcake

 Ratiny in a Cupcake

This collection is available in the Softpencil Studios now! But you had better hurry, because there is some SAD news too. The Cupcakes Collection is the last Softpencil release. Softpencil digital images will only be available until August 1st. I am especially sad to hear this news. Softpencil is the very first Design Team that I was on. I am so grateful to Elizabeth for giving me such an amazing opportunity to work with her, the creative DT and her adorable images.
The Softpencil DT will be showcasing one of the newest images in this collection over the next three weeks. I hope you'll join us!

The Great Outdoors!

This is a Shirley's 2 Girls image. I was on their DT for one year, and then the Girls moved on to bigger and better things. You can still find their images on Etsy. I miss being a "Lady with Attitude", but I still love working with their images. What could be better than sunset on a beach?

It's Release Day for Playpen Pets at Pixie Dust Studio!

Today's the Day!

This is my last peek for the Playpen Pets Collection. This image is "Prissy's Palace". I again used the same template "It's on the House" from Papertrey Ink.

A MS punch was used to make a fence around the "Palace".

I printed out another image with the top of the palace and placed it at the top of the template. My Cricut was used to cut out the swirls. Then flowers and an Organza ribbon were added. 

 Here is the entire Village that I made for the Playpen Pets...

and the matching gift cards.

Such a fun collection! Stop by the Pixie Dust Studio, and pick up some of these adorable images! Need some more inspiration? Stop by the blogs of the talented Pixies, and see what they have done with these cute images!
This week's Challenge is HERE.

Day Two of Sneak Peeks for "Playpen Pets" at Pixie Dust Studio!

This week's Challenge is HERE.
Playpen Pets Sneak Peeks continue today.

I made another little home using the Papertrey Ink Template "It's on the House". This image is "Popsicle's Pad". Glittered CS was used for the roof and decorated with a MS Punch Around the Page punch.

The same punch was used to make a fence around the house.

Here is a closeup of the mini gift card.

"Hoot's Hut" uses the same template again to make a birdhouse. I layered strips using a MS punch to tile the roof. 

I found some Owl DP at Archiver's that I glued to the sides and back.

 The same punch used for the roof also makes a fence around the house.

Here is the matching mini gift card.

Homemade, Sweet Homemade Challenge at Pixie Dust Studio!

This is 'Swimming Dolly" from the Pixie Dust Splash Collection. I love the little bandaid on her knee! This week's challenge is to hand make all of your embellishments except ribbon. I used a Score-Pal to texturize the yellow CS. Circle punches in different sizes were used for the rest of the embellies including the "button". I hope you'll join us for this week's challenge. You could win a Pixie image of your choice and a Winner's Badge for your blog! Enter your project HERE.

Day One of Sneak Peeks for "Playpen Pets" at Pixie Dust Studio!

 

Kathy has a new collection of digital images, Playpen Pets, that will be released on Friday in the Pixie Dust Studio! Today I am previewing "Woof's Window". It reminds me of the song "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?"

I used the My Timeless Template "It's on the House". It was perfect to make a little storefront. 

 I made a little fence using a MS punch and freehand cut some leaves. Then I glued some Got Flowers to the stems and added  rhinestones to the centers. I cut strips using the MS scallop dot punch to decorate the roof.

Next I made a mini gift card to go with. 

 After I made the first little "shelter" I was inspired to make more.

I used the same template to make a little barn for "Muddy Buddy". He's so cute and reminds me of my favorite children's book Charlotte's Web. I had to add a little spider for that reason. I punched around a square with a MS Spider Web punch to make the web.

 I used a Papertrey Ink picket fence template to cut the fence out. It goes around the sides and back.

 A mini gift card completes the project.

The Pixies have more images to share. Stop by their blogs and take a peek! Their links are in my sidebar.

I'll have more peeks tomorrow. I hope you'll stop by and visit!
