Well, things have calmed down here on the old blog....trying to get back to normal after all of those incredible PTI Anniversary Challenges. Today, I inked up a brand new Paper Smooches set that came in a couple of days ago--Hooties--and it is so cute and perfect for paper piecing. I used some new patterned SU paper that I ordered off clearance, and the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#64. I am entering this card in the challenge at Paper Smooches to create something new that is FUN and CUTE.
I also had a chance to play along with this month's One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #2: Can You Repeat That? I used the dress form image from PTI, stamped in a rainbow of colors. I tried coloring my own bling using Copic markers for the very first time, and I cannot believe how easy it is to get the perfect color of bling. I really love these one layer challenges, and hope to play again before the month is out.
The challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday is We Love Stamps (and I really and truly do), so I will be entering both of these cards over there as well.
Thanks for Visiting

Love the rainbow repeaters, lovely, a why didn't I think of that? Brilliant!!!!!
ReplyDeleteadorable! the first one is so cute and the second one has my favorite multicolor look.
ReplyDeleteOH … I knew you would get that owl set from PS … adorable card! Love the way you stamped the dress form in all those colors …. I have not seen that one in a while.
ReplyDeleteTee hee ... you deserve a bit of a 'phew', Joyce ... I had one, even though my rating on the productivity scale was nothing like yours! Love this cutie patootie little paper pieced owl ... and the dress form in all those gorgeous colours ... yum-my! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour owl is way too cute, love his sleepy eyes! Great design on your second card. I like that you tilted a couple of the colorful dress forms as if they're sort of in storage! Very fun!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! These are too FUN!! LOVE your takes on the challenges!! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
ReplyDeleteLove the hooded eyes on that owl image - great paper pieced! I rarely by colored gems once I discovered I could create custom colors with my Copics.
ReplyDeletethat owl is too funny!!
ReplyDeleteI just put that owl stamp on my wish list. He is adorable and I love the way you paper pieced him. The one layer card is lovely. I have to tell you a funny story on myself. I was reading another blogger who entered the same challenge and when she wrote "Can you repeat that?' after the challenge name I thought she meant saying it was difficult. It wasn't until I saw your mention of it that I realized that was the challenge - to repeat something. I think my head has been somewhere else lately. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, love the paper pieced owl, lovely colours in the papers and the pop of colours on the dress forms are fabulous. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteThese both ROCK! I love the papers you used for that adorable owl - how cute are his bedroom eyes?? LOL! And that stamp was a fabulous choice for the Simplicity challenge! Thanks for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteSo Adorable with the Owl and how Gorgeous with the dress form :) So Fabulous Joyce!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! That is one adorable owl (and I'm not a big owl fan to begin with,) and your one layer card is lovely. I loved the different colored dressforms.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress form stamp and your rainbow repetition is so eyecatching. A perfect one layer creation.

These are both fabulous, Joyce! I love that paper-pieced owl -- great take on the sketch! And those dress forms look fantastic like that!
ReplyDeleteYour paper pieced owl is ADORABLE! I love the rainbow of color on the dress forms - you make one layer look like a piece of cake! SO jealous!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards. The owl is darling. Love how you paper pieced him. So colorful. The transform card is soooo cute. Love how you tilted those transforms.
ReplyDeleteThat little owl is so crazy looking in all his paper pieced glory. He's definitely a hoot. I love the repeated image and how the colors overlapped in places. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is the CUTEST owl! Love him--and your fabulous paper piecing too. The dress forms in wonderful rainbow colors made a great one layer card.
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards! Love the little PS owl and his colors,patterns, paper piecing, and all the lovely white space.
ReplyDeleteYour PTI Challenge cards are amazing. And now this fun and cute PS creation is fabulous. Paper piecing is so wonderful. Your one layer challenge creation is designed and executed beautifully. I have not yet tried coloring bling with Copics, but you have inspired me. Wonderful creations as always!
