Stamp Simply Challenge
I am thrilled and excited to be joining Sharon Johnson with her Friday Stamp Simply challenges! Every Friday Sharon challenges her readers to create a simple card with a special feature that gives it a little Wow! factor! (I think I went a little overboard on the simple part of the challenge! I'll try harder next week!) :) This week, the challenge was to use paper piecing. Lately, when I think of paper piecing I immediately think of this set from My Favorite Things because it's so fun to give the It Girl a new designer raincoat each time! Today her raincoat is fashioned from my new, yummy Bo Bunny Organic paper, as is her doggie's little sweater, and her matching polka dot umbrella! I just got this paper a few days ago, so Sharon's challenge was a perfect excuse to start using it (instead of admiring how pretty it is!)
Here is a link to the challenge on Sharon's blog - No Time to Stamp?
You'll also find Stamp Simply challenge cards for inspiration at these blogs...

Remember, if you play along and upload your sample to the Splitcoaststampers gallery, be sure to use the keywords ssnotime28 so we can check out your creation. Link your card to Sharon's blog, too!
I'd like to thank Sharon for giving me the chance to join in her challenges each week and provide inspiration! This is a great new adventure for me!
