DOING LIFE

JUST BE HAPPY
{Sweet Stampin: Guest DT Project}

Tracey from Sweet Stampin approached me during April 2012, inviting me to be a guest designer for them for a month.  Thank you so much Tracey, I am very excited designing four creations for the month of July for you.  So this is my Guest DT project for the first challenge for July over at Sweet Stampin.  The Theme is Paper Piecing and actually this is the very first time I have tried my hand at paper piecing and really enjoyed it.  It might just become a new favourite technique for me.

During April this year I made the Top 3 at Poodles Parlour Challenge blog for one of my card creations (see sidebar) and won seven lovely digi images from Digi Garden.  Gorgeous little Lottie was one of them and I tried to bring her to life with this.  She was coloured with H2O's.  Her dress and head band was paper pieced.  The aqua flowers behind Lottie was stamped with acrylic stamps.  The flowers were created with EK Success punches.

The sentiment was a freebie from TLC creations:

So hop on over to Sweet Stampin and link your Paper Piecing creation there and have a look at the Design Team's inspirational creations.
