Fairy Sweet... Paper Piecing

Hello everyone,
So... I have been going though all the blogs and paper piecing keeps popping back up to me and it looks so cool... a technique that I haven't tried yet - so I pulled myself out of the dark ages and gave it a try with a Krafin Kimmie Stamp
 so tell me... what do you think??
 I used my CTMH stamp set to make a matching background paper.
I love how it turned out... oh yeah... can't forget about my stickles... got to love the added bling

thanks for stopping by and I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
allsorts challenges - spread your wings

1 Fish...

 Good morning everyone,
Usually I give all my items away and awhile ago a colleague of mine was saying that i need to make more things for boys... so I have been thinking yeah... I don't make too much for boys.  Maybe it is because I had a daughter??  who knows... anyway I have been looking for boy inspiration and found it in a couple of challenges.  I quickly made this lovely book mark.  I hope her son enjoys it! 
 Oh my... i don't think I can live with out my skickles... 
 The picture didn't pick up the embossing that well... I used the snake skin cuttlebug 
 I inked around the one fish - using ctmh stamps 
I really like how it turned out...

I would like to acknowledge the challenges that inspired this book mark..
Sparkle creations - numbers 
Cooking with Cricut - Dr. Seuss
CropStop Challenge - rainbow of colours
shopping our stash - embossing 

have a great day!

Which came first blog hop!



Sorry everyone I am a bit late

Memories In Tyme Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Which Came First???" Blog Hop!!
Who knew that a single piece of paper or a tiny rubber stamp would start an addiction that could overtake our dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms???   What started it for you?  Did you start by stamping cards and then progress to scrapbooking?  Were you an avid picture-taker turned cardmaker?  Or did you pick something from the start and stick with it?  Join us on our adventure as we share how we each got started in the scrapbooking and stamping craft!!  You'll find some fun stories, neat projects, and awesome folks along the way, we hope you'll enjoy each and every moment!! Let's get hopping!!  If you've hopped over from Karen, then you are in the right place!!  If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our FUN, then please CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog... For the hop today, I've created .......

OH my goodness... seriously my very first LO was from a creative memories class where they gave you the page and you used stickers, markers and coloured paper!

I can't believe I am showing you this...


oh... so embarrassing.  I actually even made an spelling mistake on Florida - had to use the sun to cover it.. Oh well - you learn from your mistakes.  I still can't redo my very first page because it shows just how far I have come!!
here is one that I just finished up (well... if you ignore the journalling that needs to be done)
