Something new for me

One of my favorite techniques is paper piecing but I’ll admit it, trying it with a digi stamp made me quake in my flip flops! But I decided I needed to try it before I gave it a bad name so here’s my first attempt at paper piecing a digi stamp.
The image is from Tiddly Inks and is called Belle. The paper is some I’ve had forever! While it did work okay I will say that my printer did not really like the designer paper I used so maybe I need to try different types to see what works best.



Hope you have a great day!! I am busy getting things ready for Matthew’s birthday which is tomorrow…double digits here we come! the big 1-0! eek…where’s my baby boy?? I must say though, I am very proud of him, he’s really such an awesome kid. (Both Belle and him sat politely while Peggy and I sat and talked about stamps and such during our fun little meetup at Pike’s Market yesterday, hehe)

Hi Danni,
This is gorgeous. The paper is beautiful, she looks divine in orange. I have yet to try PP digis. When I get a printer that works that might be one of the new things I'll try. Have a great Friday and weekend!
Hugs,

Hi Danni. First I have to tell you that I am so sorry. I think it has been ages since I stopped by and told how awesome your work is. No excuses, just super tired and super busy. lol... Anyway I hope that you and the family are all ok. I love how your paper piecing came out, I think you did a great job with it. Wish your Matthew a Happy Birthday. Sounds like a load of fun.
