Pieces of my Heart

Hi again - it's Ky here today to share with you my paper piecing project. Don't sprain your tongue! This is an image from Gina K Design's Petals and Wings stamp TV kit. I paper pieced the balloon, basket and heart, and applied flocking to the puffy clouds.

I used some older Basic Grey paper. Maria challenged us to use our oldest, but my oldest was way back in the late 1900s, and it wasn't good enough to hoard! Are you playing along? Link us up so we can see how you roll, old school! Check back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Ta for now,

Up Up and Away

Hello stamp fans! Thank you all so much for visiting our little blog! I'm still in the process of moving, so I don't have access to my oldest (circa 1992) stamps. This set, however, is one of my favorites. The focal image is from Gina K Design's Stamp TV kit, Eclectic Summer (STV-10003, 5/28/09).

The sentiment is from Gina's Eclectic Summer Sayings set, that same release date. That set was simple line art, but the images are truly universal in their appeal. Here in East Texas we celebrated with our annual hot air balloon race last weekend. I thought it was a perfect time to pull out this set.

The cardstock is from Gina K, but the patterned paper is SEI Dill Blossom pack from way back in 2008 (I think). I colored the balloons with Copic markers and popped one up on dimensional foam. This card (and 99% of all my cards) get shipped overseas for Soldiers to write in and send back to their families (Operation Write Home).

Thanks so much for dropping by - I hope you'll get a chance to pull out your older supplies and show us what you create! Don't forget to come back tomorrow and see what Eva has to inspire you. I think you'll LOVE it!

Ta for now!
