“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ‘What about lunch?'” —A. A. Milne

Hello!

Hope you are well!

My friend Therese came over yesterday to play with the Big Shot, so I colored and made a card!

 It's a House Mouse image. Old wooden stamp called Flutter-By. It's a Halloween stamp so left off the pumpkin!

I masked the mouse off and stenciled the background. The Flower is popped up and is a stamp and die (Echinacea) from Technique Tuesday; Thanks is from the same set. 

I am linking this to:

Allsorts Week 823 Paper Piecing or Anything Goes

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

It's Week 823 at Allsorts and Lynne is our host! she would like to see paper piecing. There's the Anything Goes too! 

 

 

I made this. It's linen paper I stenciled. The boot, umbrella and sentiment are SU. The stencil is from Faber Castell. I think this is the first time I paper pieced! Do you know why? Because it involves fussy shudder cutting! I am happy with the results!

 

It's also a Z-Fold I got over here!

Go, check out the amazing makes from the rest of the DT!
