You're SEW lovely!

Good Morning, everyone!

I've been having a good time buying new stamps lately, but I've also been feeling guilty that some old sets aren't getting any love! So I thought I'd challenge myself to use something "old" every once in a while. I think I can do it!

supplies: CS: blue (Bazzill), white (Neenah); DP: Cosmo Cricket (I think!); stamps: sew lovely (Lawn Fawn); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); other: brads, ribbon

I wanted to try my hand at paper piecing again. I'm so used to always reaching for my Copics that I tend to forget that paper piecing is a technicque too! Duh! I think I was reminded when I finally got to meet my online pal Ashley a couple weeks ago - she was at a crop at my LSS along with my longtime friend Suzy & my BFF and I decided to hit up the store to shop and chat!

Here's a pic of the 4 of us:

Anyway, Ashley had made a card and paper pieced the images - and whaddya know? I was inspired (and reminded!) to do it again! *lol* Thanks, girlie! She was also working on a card for a Lawnscaping Challenge, so I was reminded to use my Lawn Fawn stamps again!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
