Just For You - Work Of Art Teacher Card

Here is another great example of thinking out of the box. (I again have to thank Pinterest for the idea). Since I'm a teacher I have a soft spot for making items for teachers. I thought this card was so cute and would be awesome to make as Thank You cards to give a set to your favorite teacher! Even though my "apple" isn't perfect you know what it is - something that is awesome! It doesn't have to be perfect and it still looks great!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Glitter & Rhinestones Challenge

This week we are celebrating Softpencil's Anniversary!! What better way than to have a fabulous challenge and a chance to win some goodies?!?! I'm in the process of trying to make some teacher gifts so I decided to use the fabulous MICHU & RATINY GO TO SCHOOL.


I took a large clothespin and covered it with some school papers from Creative Memories. I colored Michu & Ratiny with Copics. Since the challenge is GLITTER & RHINESTONES, I added some Stickles to the pencil and rhinestones at the bottom of the clip using my IRock tool.

On the back of the clip, I personalized each one using glittered alphabet stickers. I'm planning on buying some Sonic Gift Cards to put in each clip along with a note of thanks. Just something to let them know I appreciate all they've done this year - it's been kind of a long tough year. Lots of changes. Speaking of change - I was voted in as PTO Treasurer for the next two years...I've got some learning to do too :D

I hope you'll join in on the fun - stop by the Softpencil Blog for all the details! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Softpencil Thursday

Good Afternoon! I'm home from the first official day of preschool and am happy to report that it went A OKAY! I only had one upset little man but after a few minutes and with the help of his lovey we were good to go! He even put his lovey away half way through the morning which is an awesome step!!

Enough about that you are here to see my Softpencil Thursday creation. Today we got to use a fabulous new image, A GIFT FOR MY TEACHER. Well as the name implies I had to make a little gift for the teacher.
It's a smartie holder which I found on Dawn's blog. It's so easy and fun to make. Last night we made Halloween ones at my stamp club. I'm also making birthday ones for my preschoolers.

This is why I had to wait to take my photo...I added Glossy Accents to the apple. Just adds a little somethin' somethin', you know?

On the inside I added a little bit of pattern paper and a little greeting. Then I can add short note of thanks for all the teacher does!

So whatcha think? Stop by the Softpencil Blog to see all the new back to school images. Plus there are papers that would be awesome to use as well as clip art and stationary! I'm sure you'll find something that you'll love!!
