I'm very into paper piecing it at the moment, and was totally inspired by Shaz in Oz to pull out some scraps and then by Helen to use a stencil...I mean, I often say in their comment sections how I'd like to do more with scraps or use one of my handful of stencils. So I did. At last you yell,not just talking the talk!
Here's how it worked out...and I'm doing more. They're all going to be slightly different of course, card fronts and boredom force change, but essentially I've made a lot of small offcuts into teeny bits of waste and I'm happy about that, Shaz and Helen, I applaud you.
If you'd like to join us and this grand old show and tell, please visit Sarah's Craft Shed for the link and the list.

ooh get you being all arty and stuff! Thing is once you start with the er messier type of crafting you can produce quite a bit in no time at all. I have been inspired by a stencil technique seen on Jan's blog from last week - just need to find a bit of time........Happy WOYWW, love n hugs Cindy #4
Glad you've been inspired enough to stencil ! I do miss craft shows and briefly thought about Sandown, but Kew won out . Happy woyww Helen #1
The only show I get to these days is a local one and that is mainly to see a couple of friends from when I was on the circuit.
Glad you have been inspired by a couple of techniques new to you and merged them together. Wish I could get inspired but at the moment I am such a mess that i cannot craft until I get some semblance of order.
Why do your jaunty angle photos look good but mine make me feel giddy?

My theme for this year is 'Use it or Lose it' and that includes all the scraps I've kept over the years, stencils, embossing folders and stamps. I'm using up some scraps today as we speak. Love the card front you've made. Great photo too. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x9x
Ah, the old Teabag Syndrome rears its head again! We reference that all the time in our house, lol. The paper piecing looks fun but fiddly, glad you’re enjoying it though. I’ve just got back from my shift in the RNLI shop, thankfully no surprises sprung on me today!

I love paper piecing and yours is looking awesome! I find it to be the be way to use scraps, and one ends up with quite interesting combinations!
Have a fabulous week!
