I had so much fun playing with this dress form.  It's perfect for paper piecing.  I had a hoot rifling through my patterned papers and matching up these for a fun celebration card.  I was able to pull a couple of ribbons from my stash that worked with the paper pretty well!  A whole lot of sponging later, a card is born!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please be sure to come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

I was intrigued by a paper crafting challenge last month to create a paper tole project with some dimension.  I had initially thought of using a coffee cup or mug and then rounding out the image.  Instead, I played with the ice skates here.  I worked at rounding out the heels and the toes.  I'm not sure how much it shows here, but in real life, it looks pretty cool!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please be sure to come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

Here's the Design Team:  Lois, Kelli Jo, Karen Kathy, Toni, Janine, Shirley Q, Vickie, Sandy,
I really enjoyed making this card.  It was sort of a quick color, but that was really the look that I was going for.  My snow isn't really complete, but a quick scribble just to give you the idea.  This image is wonderful.  I adore the unusual shape and it fit perfectly on my square card!

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to come on back tomorrow for more creativity.  Head over to Janine's blog now.
