I spent this past weekend catching as many stamping classes and demonstrations as I could in celebration of World Cardmaking Day. My craft room looked like the aftermath of New Year's Eve in Times Square! Paper bits everywhere and more than one water bottle/soda can/tea cup perched here and there.
A class taught by Cathy Zielske featured paper piecing as a technique. It is easy to do and I often forget about it. It just requires a bit of patience - and a good die cut!
I broke out the Halloween colors and decorated the spider web for the season!
I loved Amy's fabulous sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Have fun with it - I did!

Linda, that spider web was a cutie to choose for paper piecing in Halloween colors - don't look now, but something creepy is coming out from under that hat!! EEEEK!
