Paper and Such Challenge Time

This time around Paper and Such is hosting a paper piecing challenge.  So get out all your scrap dsp and have fun!  I used an old Coluzzle template (remember those?).  I almost got rid of it a while back, but now I'm glad that I hung onto it.  I'm in a Secret Santa swap with some stamping buddies and thought this would make a great addition to the box - filled with some goodies, of course!

Project accessories:

Stamps - Snow Folks (PAS)

Cardstock - dsp, white

Accessories - rhinestones, nesties, liquid applique, punch, coluzzle template

Kids

The last new set from Paper and Such is something that I've not seen before in a set.  It's all words that you can use to create a card to be sent by a child.  It's set in a kid-ish font that is adorable.  I've altered a notebook to be given to a grandma from her favorite grandchild.

It's a Paper and Such Challenge day!

Today at Paper and Such, there is a new challenge posted!  You are to do a paper piecing project.  How fun!  I'm in a Secret Santa Swap with a group of stampers and I made this little popcorn box for her and will fill it with some stamping goodies!  I used an old Coluzzle template - remember those???  I almost got rid of it a while back, I'm glad I held onto it!

Dog-gone adorable!

As many of you know by now, we've become temporary foster parents of an adorable 1-year old Bloodhound named Sampson.  His "dad" is in the Army Reserves and isn't able to keep him while being deployed to Afghanistan.  Through Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pets, we were able to volunteer to be his family until he can be reunited with his real family in a year.  If you have room in your heart and home for one (or more!) pets, please fill out the volunteer application on their page!!!  There are many pets that will have to be given away or put in shelters because our service members don't have anyone to watch them when they are deployed.  Please help if you can!!!

This is the card I made to sent to Sampson's Dad as soon as we have an address for him.  I used the sketch from this week's Sweetest Thing blog challenge.  I plan on putting a cute message inside, a picture and maybe even get him to sign his name.  :)

Card details:

Cardstock - PTI, Basic Gray

Accessories - brads

This is Sampson - isn't he just the cutest!!!
