I lied.

I do have another layout to share with your that I made for ScrapStreet. Although it seems almost silly to post it now. It's the layout I made for my Holiday Piece article. But I have to share it with you because I just loved how it turned out. Here's the layout:

I found an image in online clip art. I then printed it and used it as a template...cutting different parts of the reindeer out of different pieces of paper and then piecing it all together.

Isn't he cute? :) Here are some more close up's...

Well it's the last week of school for the kiddos. Just got to make it through it. I actually look forward to having them home and playing outside a bunch, as well as hitting the pool and going on some fun trips/adventures.

Have an awesome day!

Paper Piecing

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all the congratulations on making the Fancy Pants design team...I am still floating. :) So you wanna see another one of the projects I did for the DT call????

I've really been into paper piecing lately, maybe it's because I have been working on an article on paper piecing...you will see it in the December issue of ScrapStreet. I wanted to create a canvas to hang in Eryn's room. I love to be inspired by papers. In this case I loved an owl design that was on one of the papers from Fancy Pants Designs. I let it inspire me to recreate a similar image in a much larger form on a canvas.

You want to know my secret? I actually scanned the owl image from Fancy Pants paper and then enlarged it and printed it. It was blurry but that didn't matter because I only wanted to use it as a template to recreate the owl image that I loved so much. :)

Here are some close up's of those owls...

My papers are all from Fancy Pants Designs, from their "This Girl" Kraft Kuts collection.

Hope you have enjoyed my project today!

Have a fantastic day...and look for my Paper Piecing article in the December issue of ScrapStreet! :)

RP Witch :)

Ok, so this one my son and I did together. We used the witch from the Costume Party line of papers from Rusty Pickle as a template and created a paper-piecing. I cut the pieces and we treated it like a puzzle which my son helped me put together. He also picked which paper was which piece and then told me what we should add to our project. He is very proud of this one. :)

It's funny...because I'm not sure I LOVE how it turned out BUT my son is so proud of it, and when I look at it I will think of us putting it together...so it will probably more treasured then the rest of the projects that I do. :)

Hope you are having a fantastic Thursday! (Friday's almost here!)
