Hey Girlfriend!

Hello friends! It's Ky again, here with a little inspiration for you. Do you know there are tons of new challenges on Splitcoast Stampers website? Yeah, the cards we make are sent to MD Anderson for cancer patients to use, and about $6500 worth of prizes being given away, too. The event is known as Hope You Can Cling To or HYCCT. Once you're done here, go check them out! There's a new challenge every day.

My project today was completed for one of those challenges. This is Tami Mayberry's awesome set - You Go Girl, by Gina K Designs. It's filled with great sentiments of encouragement, perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness month, or anytime. It's really easy to paper piece with, too. I've paired it up with more old Basic Grey papers, and a little faux stitching.

Ok - I'm off to play more challenges. If you decide to make something, link it up here, in the comments, so we can enjoy it too! Have a great day!

Ta for now,

Multiplicity

Hi friends - it's Ky today. Last week, Maria challenged us to use paper piecing to make a card. Well, I have a confession. When I paper piece, I can't make just ONE card.

I had a three-part image, and I had to cut one of each critter to make one complete, pieced image. That meant I had enough left over for 2 more images.

So I just used the same layout and swapped the papers around to get the set completed. This is the old Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper set - remember how huge this set was? I remember waiting weeks to find it in-stock, finally!

This is perfect if you need one to send, and want to donate the others to a great cause like Hope You Can Cling To (Splitcoaster's card drive for cancer) or Operation Write Home (benefiting soldiers deployed overseas and their families here at home). Pull out your old stuff, and give it a whirl. You might surprise yourself!

Ta for now,

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!
