Cupcakes Rule at Softpencil Studios!

This is the last image in Softpencil Studio's final digital release Cupcakes Collection. The image is "Ratiny in a Cupcake". I am continuing with my "Valentine's in June" theme that I started last week with "Charmy on a Cupcake". The cupcake is covered with a mixture of "fluff" and glitter, topped off with Stickles. Delicious! Visit the blogs of our talented DT and see what they have created using this adorable image! Their links are in my sidebar.
Be sure and stop by the Softpencil Studios now to pick up this image and many more. But you'd better hurry, because the Studio is closing on August 1st. You can still get 5 images for $10! What a bargain!

It's Steampunk Release Day at Pixie Dust Studio!

It's finally here! You can find the entire Steampunk Collection in the Pixie Dust Studio today!
I have two more peeks using these adorable images. I think these two are my favorites.

This is "Miss Studio Priss".
 I found a spool of Vintage ribbon in the Dollar Bin at Michael's.  I tied a knot in the end, twisted the other end of the ribbon and glued it to a CS circle. Then I took another length of ribbon, gathered it into a ruffle, and attached it to the CS circle. Next I cut a butterfly from the Graphic 45 tags, glued it to a stick pin, and stuck it in the flower. I think it coordinates well with the flower on the tag.

This is Sir Studio Punk. Don't you just love his outfit! I found a Vintage button at Michael's and attached it to one of the Graphic 45 tags. Stop by the blogs of our creative DT and see the images they are showcasing today. Their links are in my sidebar. Stop by the Pixie Dust Studio and make your selections for this release, and see the special price you can get when purchasing the entire collection!

"Counting Along" at Pixie Dust Studio this Week!

I have another peek for you today from the newest collection Steampunk that will be released tomorrow.
This is Robo Steam Puff. He fits this week's challenge to add a number or a gear to your card. This card is for my grandson who will turn 5 in November. He loves robots, so I know he'll like it! I also added some circles that look like washers to simulate gears. 
 What will you create for this week's challenge? Enter your project HERE for a chance to win a Pixie Dust image of your choice and a Winner's Badge for your blog. Need some inspiration? Stop by the blogs of the talented Pixies to see the images they are showcasing. Their links are in my sidebar.
Stop by the Pixie Dust Studio and see all of the adorable images that are available! You'll be glad you did! I hope you'll stop by and visit tomorrow! It's RELEASE DAY for the Steampunk Collection!
I"ll have two more cards to share!

All Aboard the Steampunk Express! Day One of Sneak Peeks!

The Steampunk Collection will be released on Friday! I have some peeks for you today!
 The Teacher in me insisted that I do some research first, so I did! Vintage, feathers, clocks, gears! Then I found the Perfect thing at Archiver's: an entire sheet of tags with a Steampunk theme from Graphic 45, The Steampunk Debutante Collection. PERFECT! So I snapped it up! Then I found a sheet of DP with large clocks on them. Just what I needed! Here's what I came up with:

 This image is Pixie Steam Train. I found some DP at Archiver's with clocks from Bo Bunny. I cut out a clock and colored it with Copics to "age" it a little.

My next peek is "Max Takes Off". What fun! I've never taken a ride in a hot air balloon. Maybe it should be on my "bucket list" LOL  More tags from Graphic 45 were added along with a grommet from my stash. DP is DCWV from the Safari Chic Stack.
Stop by the blogs of our talented DP and see the images they are showcasing today! Their links are in my sidebar. I'll have another peek for you tomorrow! A new Pixie Dust challenge starts tomorrow too! I hope you'll join us!

We LOVE Cupcakes at Softpencil Studios!

This adorable image is "Charmy on a Cupcake". She is one of three images in the Softpencil Cupcakes Collection. This is Elizabeth's last release, and her Etsy Shop will close on August 1st. So hurry over and grab some digis before they're gone!
I was looking through my pink paper box, and I found these DPs. They look like Valentine DPs, but I thought, "Why not?". Everyone has heard of Christmas in July. Why not Valentine's in June? Maybe I'll start a trend! LOL  I thought the colors were perfect for Charmy! 
Stop by the blogs of our talented DT to see what creations they have made with Charmy! Their links are in my sidebar.

Fun in the Summertime!

This is a Shirley's 2 girls image. The Girls have moved on, but some of their images are still available on Etsy. We're too far inland to have beaches in the Sunny South, as our sources of water are rivers and lakes. Hence the grass in the foreground. :D. But the view is pretty, and the lemonade is cold! Enjoy!
