Yay! It’s Friday … and not just any old Friday, it’s a Friday before a THREE-DAY weekend!!! (here in the USA) I’m soooo looking forward to a nice, lonnnnnnnnnnnng, relaxing weekend! How about you?
Our challenge today at Phindy’s Friday Challenge blog is Paper Piecing … one of my favorites! Unfortunately, this card did NOT turn out as I had pictured. ugh. I was running behind and didn’t have time to do much about it. I had planned to make the card more horizontal rather than vertical. By the time I realized the image wouldn’t work that way, I was stuck and the clock was ticking! So, here’s my slightly top-heavy paper piecing card!
I must say I did LOTS of paper-piecing on this card ~ the apple letters, shirt, pants, shoes, desk, desktop, notebook, apple … and RULER! (that was a little bit of cutting!) This little cutie is one of Phindy’s awesome Cute Kids called Ready to Go! Quite an appropriate name ~ he sure looks ready to get started! I remember those days when my kids were young, which quickly turn into …. “I don’t want to go back to school” when they’re a little older.
I hope you can take a peek at the awesome paper piecing cardz from Phindy’s Design Team. All the details on this challenge can be found there too!
Thanks for your visit today! I hope you have a GREAT weekend … short or long! 🙂

Oh wow – Mary – what a wonderful card – the coloring is fantastic and the layout spectacular. Aren’t your fingers achy from all the intricate cutting? This is dynamite. Did I just say “dynamite?” I haven’t used that word since the 80’s – I wonder what that means?! Anyway – bravo!
Just look at all that wonderful paper piecing!! Your fingers must be sore….
This little guy is so cute – he reminds me of my grandson.

Great papers and love the measuring tape – ruler – across the page.
