New Softpencil Studios Images!!!

Welcome to Softpencil Studios new image release!! Elizabeth has created some fun images for the upcoming Halloween season. I will be showcasing a different new image for the next few weeks. There are stickers on there way too which will be fun to play with!! :-)

It was so much fun to finally have some time to create!!! I have missed it so much and hope that I can continuing to find time for it more often!! Still not sure I'll find time to blog about it but that's OK as long as I can get some projects done!!

For this week's card I used 2 images - Michu Flying on a Broomstick and Little Bat.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the tree, cat and gravestone. I just love that machine!! I use it so much more than I ever used my Cricut!!

Be sure to stop by the other DT gals' blogs and leave them some love. I saw a few previews and let me tell you their work is awesome!! You can also come by the Facebook page and see all the latest news and happenings

I really appreciate you stopping by today!! Many blessings and hugs!!

It's Softpencil Studios time....

Yes, I know I have become a very bad blogger. Real life has just been so busy that there isn't much time to be on my computer. In all honesty, I think that is a good thing.  I haven't had much crafting time either which does make me a bit sad.

We are all back to school and starting to slowly settle into our routines. Maybe once we do that I'll have a bit more time to craft and write.

Anyhow, here is my Softpencil Studios card for this week. Elizabeth has designed this adorable little "Sweet Mermaid" image. 

You can find her here along with all of Elizabeth's fabulous digi images. I am so blessed to be part of such a wonderful team and to be able to share such cute images.  Be sure to check out the other DT gals blogs to see what they have done this week. You should also swing by the Softpencil Studios Facebook page and say hello as well.

Have a blessed week my friends!!

Softpencil Tuesday New Release

Happy Tuesday!!! Sorry I missed last week but it's been so crazy getting myself and the girls ready for school. Today is my official first day and tomorrow the student's come. My girls start tomorrow too!! I think we are all a little nervous.

In honor of back to school Elizabeth at Softpencil Studios created this fun little image - School Bus.  I created a box. While posting the pictures, I realized you may not be able to tell it's a box. I used the A Box is A Box template from My Time Made Easy. I'm filling the box with candy and giving to our Educational Aides who help out with copying, monitoring study halls and so much more!!! 

I used my Silhoutte Cameo to cut out this saying for the top.

I hope you enjoyed my little project! Be sure to check out the other DT members blogs and the Softpencil Studios Facebook Page.

I'm guessing it will be even more quiet here than it has been - if that's even possible. Once we get settled into our new routines, I am really hoping to find some time to fatihbook and work on my Project Life album as well. 

As always thanks for stopping by!! Hope all is well in your world!!! Blessings and Hugs!!!

Yep another Softpencil Studios Tuesday is here...

Yet another week has passed and I haven't done much blogging!! Of course we've been trying to cram in as much as possible before school begins in 2 weeks!! Trip to the pool, to the beach, back to school shopping! Yikes!!

We also spent 2 nights per Natalie's begging at Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky last week. I have to tell you it felt like a week to me. It's tough keeping up with that girl. At least Kendra is OK with a bit of down time once in awhile. We really did have a lot of fun!! 

Here's my Softpencil Studios creation and one more from Natalie as well. We've had a blast crafting with me lately. I used my 3rd Sunny image - Sunny on a Cupcake

Here's Nat's work!! As you can see she loves art!! ;-) 

Don't forget to check out the creations from the rest of the DT by visiting their blogs listed in my sidebar. You will also find them on the Softpencil Studios Facebook page!! :-)

I'm not sure how much crafting I'll be doing over the next few weeks as I get geared up for going back to work. We have lots of changes happening - new schedule, new principal, and I'm trying a new Language Arts management system.  I'm looking forward to this coming year though because I needed to shake things up in my classroom a bit - my teaching was getting stale!! So please forgive me if I don't make it by your blog to leave you some love!!

I am so grateful to each of you who follow my blog!! 

Have a blessed day!! Hugs!!
