I'll admit it I'm addicted to sketches so today I cruised around looking for sketches that caught my eye. I found a few I hope to have time to play around with but when I saw the sketch over at The sweet stop and an idea instantly popped into my head and I just had to stop cruising sketch blogs so I could get my idea on paper.

Here's what I came up with:

Each piece was cut out with my Gazelle using paper piecing files from Kadoodle Bug Designs  This is actually an 8 x 10 piece of paper that will be framed. My kids isn't old enough to play baseball yet but my sister's kids all play baseball so I'll be making 3 of these cuties, minus the baseball player, for them to frame and hang in their room. 

here's the sketch I used

hello friend

I never have been a fairy person but I just love all the paper piecing Birthstone Flower Fairies files that  KaDoodle Bug Designs has came out.  

I made the card based on the sketch over at nutcrafters


and here is my take on the sketch

halfway through piecing this precious fairy together I was doubting my sanity but the end result made the time spent on the card worth it.

little piggy birthday

May is a busy card month. Not only do I need 2 cards for mother's day but my mother in law, my dad and my mom all have birthdays in the first half of May.

The sketch over at Tuesday Morning sketches worked perfectly for a card for my mom's birthday.

and here is my take on the sketch 

The image is from a paper piecing file called Mrs Piggy's Mud pies over at KaDoodle Bug Designs The buttons are from a Stampin Up! dies. The paper and fiber is from my stash.

You can't tell in the picture but the dark pink rectangle has flowers stamped in Versamark and dusted with Moon glow. Very pretty in real life.
