SFYTT

Good morning & Happy Monday!  I had mixed feelings about writing "Happy Monday", but you know I'm healthy, have a roof over my head, a job and a wonderful family.  So it is a happy day and I have much to be grateful for. 

There's a quote I often see on some of the Goodwill stations, that says "Giving People a Chance to Hate Monday's".  I love that.

I also love today's card.  It was inspired by the fabulous Jen del Muro. Every Saturday Jen comes up with a new sketch called SFYTT (sketch for you to try) and I was so happy to be able to play along.   Jen has been making SOOOOO many great cards using her Bella stamps that I just had to ink up this Huggabugg that I got with my last Stamping Bella order.

My DD came in while I was making this card and she was in awe of the whole concept of paper piecing.  So I taught her how to do it and she loved it.  I need to take a picture of her Huggabugg and post it.  She doused it with stickles so we neded to wait for it to dry. 

Deets:

Stamps:  Huggabuggs and sentiment by Stamping Bella

Ink:  Versafine heatset

Paper:  Cardstock by SU!, PTI, Prismatics, patterned paper by DCWV, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl stack

Your card is so cute and I just love the stamp that you used. I do not own any from this company, but I think this one is hollering it wants to come too my house and play.

I too love paper piecing and do it quite often on my cards (since I can't color).
