Woodware Monday, Pieces of Paper

This Monday it's all about the pieces...Itty bitty pieces...It's Paper Piecing Week so get out those scraps and go to town!

I used some leftover scraps (TAC Toodle-Loo patterned paper) that were sitting on my crafting table along with a kraft card base complete with a cuttlebugged background. I love to create ruffles with paper, so I added a tiny ruffle too! Of course, no card of mine is complete without a ribbon or some bling so I added a cute little blue bow!

Stamps Used:  Sweet Tooth, Owl Greetings

Join the fun and create your own project using the Paper Piecing technique. Head over to the Woodware USA blog too...You'll find lots of inspiration over there!!!

See you tomorrow!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Faux Stitches....

This weeks's challenge over at Woodware USA blog is to create something using FAUX Stitching. I don't usually do faux stitching anymore because I love the FEEL of the real thing, so it was hard for me to really focus on this task. I did complete the task though! So you can give me two WHOO HOO's for that!

My first step in creating this card was in looking for some patterned paper. You know me...PAPER JUNKIE! I have paper from WAAAAYYYYY back, so I knew I probably had the PERFECT paper for this challenge. YEP! I did...I found this patterned paper (Old Recollections)with faux stitching and knew it was THE stuff! So I set off to match it up with the perfect stamp set...I found that too in Owl Greetings. It's a fabulous set of owls, little thinking bubbles, awesome sentiments, and a few other doo dads here and there...Heck, take a look for yourself:

Of course, my colorable image wasn't complete until I added some copics right? I also finished it off with a bit of distressing with vintage photo ink and some ribbons.

Now the question is...What did the little birdie tell me???? Ha!

So I'm off tomorrow to Sur La Table to learn how to make some deelish cupcakes for fall...I wonder if that will be my inspiration for next week???? I guess I need to take some photos.

Have a great weekend!
