Last Softpencil Tuesdays


Happy Tuesday, how are you? This is the last post for June release Cupcake Collection for Softpencil and it's also the last post for us as a team. As you probably already heard the sad news that the shop will close on August 1st. So, if you like any of the Softpencil's image, hurry and hop over to the shop and pick up your favorites!

This is Ratiny on a Cupcakewhich is now available at the Softpencil shop! I used the sketch from the Sweetest Thing blog. And I kept it simple and sweet. I choose red, white, and blue to celebrate July 4th. And the paper is from 365 Degrees paper pad. I hope you like it, and please visit my fellow DT ladies' blog and see their amazing creations.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

I'm at the Summer Card Camp!

Hello and happy Monday! It's finally summer here in New England, the sun is shining. The weather is absolutely beautiful. I decided to enrolled into Summer Card Camp, how fun! I'm super excited. The class starts today, if you want to join... don't worry, you can still enroll until June 29th, click HERE for details.Smiley from millan.net

Here is my first card for the class, I used one of my favorite flowers set from Hero Arts. Since it's a color combo challenge, I used memento ink in rose bud, lilac posies, and cantaloupe.

And here is another card, I'm still learning how to use my Cricut. I cut out a frame from the Sentimental cartridge. I figured to do something different, a grey and yellow combo! This cutie is from Simply Betty Stamps.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

A relaxing weekend...

Hello and happy Saturday! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Sorry for being so quiet last week... As you know, my god-sister came to visit me. We had such a great time. Not mentioning I totally got her into paper crafting... Hehe!

Check out these little kids... aren't they super adorable? I saw them when we were shopping at a local scrapbooking store (Ink About It, Westford, MA). I couldn't help it... I have to get all 3 of them. They are from Catslife Press. The paper is from Bo Bunny Ad Lib Collection.

My second card is inspired by my god sister Charmaine. She loves her Cricut cartridges and distressing ink pads... So, this card is for her. I cut the card and the 'stamp' pattern with the Sentimentals cartridges, them distressed it.


And here is another card made by Charmaine... She cut out the goodies by the cartridge from Going Place. How cool is this? All the highlight of her visit to Boston. She even included my black kitty Stewie! Smiley from millan.net

To see more of her creations, check out her BLOG and leave her some love!!!


Later and have a great day!

Time to Celebrate yet?

Happy happy Thursday! Time for some Chi Chi fun. Since July 4th is coming up really soon, how about something red, white, and blue? I used the Happy 4th stamp set from Chi Chi Memories. You can get it here, plus it's on sale for only $3.96.

I was totally lazy... I couldn't find any pattern paper that I want to use... So, I colored the paper with my Copic marker to create the frame. And the sentiment is from Amuse and I used the Faber-Castell brush pen as ink. Hehe!

Hope you like it and have a great day!

Happy Fathers Day and more...

Good morning and happy Fathers' Day to all the special DADS! I don't really celebrate Fathers Day, since my dad passed away while I was very young. But I do missed him, and wish he is around. However, I'm very blessed to have my god-father and my father-in-law. They are both wonderful. I'm sure a lucky gal! And here is a card that I made to honor this special day!

Here is something a little more girly. The beautiful stamp in from Hero Arts. I color the image with Faber-Castell big brush pens, I also added some extra sparkles with the Copic Spica pens.


Plus, here are some more creations from my god-sister Charmaine, she sure is a natural. She has only been crafting for only 4 days... She is already playing with distressing ink pad, perfect peals, stickles, embossing folders, and the Cricut! Smiley from millan.net



I hope you enjoyed her little showcase. Have an AWESOME day! We are off to Boston.Smiley from millan.net
