Simon Says .... Paper Piece

Hi there and welcome to a brand new week on Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. I am pleased to say my blog break was very short lived and I am back already without having to miss a week. Should be back to commenting this week so thanks for putting up with me :o)


I would love to welcome our Guest Designer Jackie to the team for the next few weeks. Her work is gorgeous so please pop over to her blog for a look at more of her wonderful creations.

Our theme this week is paper piecing - there is an explanation on the challenge blog of how to do this if you are unsure. Heidi has generously donated $25 to spend online at the wonderful Simon Says Stamp store with free P&P thrown in!!!!!!


I love this sweet image from CC Designs - she is called Gretel and is one of the sweet pixies - too cute! I have paper pieced her dress and boots in the paper I used to make my card which is Pink Parfait from the Forever Friends range. Loads of stardust stickles - I love this so much, definately my favourite shade.


Other challenges that my card fits with are .....

Sketch and Stash - sketch - neglected CC stamp
Stamp with Fun - Card for a Girl
Quixotic - Shiny Happy People
Crafts & Me - Petals and Pearls
Flutterby Wednesday - Open Challenge
Charisma Cardz - Die Cuts
