This week I posted a Paper Piecing challenge over at the Papertrey Chicks blog. Check it out and join us if you feel inspired to do so. I thought I'd post the photo and deets over here just to give you some eye candy.
The first card I made using some October Afternoon Paper and PTI's Baby Button Bits. It's a very simple card, but I wanted to showcase the paper piecing aspect of it.
This next card is a cute 3x3 that literally took seconds to make. I'm going to make 5 more of these babies in varying colors and make them a complete set. When that will be? Who knows...lol!
This last project was something that I have been itching to do for a long time. SCRAPBOOK!!! I used to scrap every week and I need to get back into it. I've even considered getting rid of all of my stamps and stop card making just to force myself back into it. Crazy talk, I know. Don't worry, I still have plenty of stamps and many reasons to keep making cards.
Well that's it for now. Must feed kids, dog, self and shower. But hey, I got to play with my toys this morning. Yay!!

ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful, but I esp. love the page. I love the transformatin theme with the butterflies--what a philosopher you are! And that little bee on the baby card is just the perfect finishing touch! The thre by three is gorgeous--can't believe how fast you made that.
ReplyDeleteThe scrapbook page is so pretty with all the fluttering butterflies.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects, Susan. I too am a fan of the "Transformation" page. So pretty and colorful.

Wow, I love all 3 of these! Isn't is fulfilling when you get a scrapbook page done? I love it. Cards are fun in a totally different way. I guess I need both in my life. Just wish I had more time ;)
