DT post for the crafty pad: paper piecing

Good morning all! I'm scheduling this post for Sunday morning so I hope everything works out ok. The week has rolled around again - where does the time go? - and its time for a new challenge over at The Crafty Pad here. If you entered last week be sure to check back around Thursday for the winners and top 5 - there were some really fabulous entries last week! The theme this week is Paper piecing and this was chosen by Ali. We have the lovely Marianne of mariannescraftroom as our GDT and our sponsors are Meiflower.
The prize this week is a fabulous £20 to spend in the Meiflower store here.


So here's my card for your inspiration. I've used the Crafty Pad's Sammy plus one of their circular sentiments that you can find in store here.




I've used paper scraps from the printing out of sammy a few times (for piecing) to make a patchwork background and base. The flowers are from wildorchidcrafts. There are some fabulous projects over at The Crafty Pad - so take a look!

I'd like to enter Sammy into the following challenges:

thesisterhoodofcrafters: Lets hear it for the boys
totallypapercrafts: Lots of layers
fatpageswithattitude: Anything goes
disdigidesignschallenge: Come pile on those flowers
365cards: colour scheme

That's all for today! Back tomorrow and I'll tell you all about Doncaster!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx
