  For my project I created a wordbook using Funtime software. My favorite thing about paper piecings is the ability to mix files to create the exact image you want, so inside the wordbook I used a variety of summer files from the new patterns section of the KaDoodle Bug Designs website. 
  
  
  Here is the wordbook closed. No KaDoodle Bug Designs were used here.
  
  

  

  
  
  page 1. The penguin came from Coolin' and Chillin'. The ice cream and popcicles came from Cool Treats. 
  

  

  
  
  
  

    

  
  Page 2: The sun button on this page came from Too cute to be green. The wave border is from the borders set. All the other files came from Building Sandcastles. 
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

   

  
  
  

  Page 3: The bubble blowing sun is from Ready Set Bubble Mow, the mat borders are from the border ser. I also used Bubble Blowing Fun Bear and Bubble Blowing Fun Title. 

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

     

  

  
  
  

  
  

  page 4: I mixed a few patterns to create this page. I used the standing boy from Building Sandcastles and turned him into a little girl by adding pigtails and a shirt. The shirt came from birthday party kids. The pitcher of kool-aid came from Keepin' it kool title. The little boy on the scooter is from Birthday Party kids. The sun border I made by welding the sun buttons with a rectangle. 

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

                  
    

  
  

  
  

  
  

                   

    
  
  

  
  

  
  

  page 5: This page uses baseball boys, baseball accessories and the borders set .

Techno Stamper's sketch using Too cute to be green

The sketch at Techno Stamper this week was so easy to follow. Here's the card I put together. 

and here's the sketch Techno Stamper asked us to follow. 

                                

My card uses Too Cute to be green from Kadoodle Bug Designs and the paper is from a digital collection called Boys and Girls of Summer by Shel Belle Scraps and The Scrappy Kat. 

Gone Fishing

I had to flip the sketch sideways to get the look I wanted but this card uses the sketch from Seems a little sketchy. All the elements on this card are paper piecings from Kadoodle Bug Designs. The boy in the boat and the bobbers are from the Gone Fishing set and the sun button and the cattails are from the Too Cute to be Green set. 

July 4th layouts

I can't believe the 4th of July is just around the corner. Kadoodle Bug Designs has a contest over on their facebook page: Create a 1 or 2 page scrapbook page showcasing a 4th of July family tradition.
For this challenge I created both a traditional scrapbook page and a digital scrapbook page. 


Scrappy Moms Stamps has a Patriotic challenge going on at their blog. 


For this layout I mixed pieces from 6 different KaDoodle Bug Designs sets.  I used Coolin' and Chillin', A Blasting 4^th , Popsicles and Fireworks, Cool Treats, Monkey with cupcake and Baking with mommy   

For the digital layout I used A Blasting 4th from KaDoodle Bug Designs and pieces from a blog train called Country Pride.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July! 

popping by to wish you a happy birthday

Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch this week was an easy one to play along with.


For my card I used a white card base and inked the edges with SU!'s Marina Mist. I printed off some digital pages from Mags Graphics collection called Lakehouse.
The challenge this week on Kadoodle Bug Designs facebook page is to mix and match at least 2Kadoodle Bug Designs paper peicing patterns to create a new pattern so I mixed up two past freebies, Bubble Blowing Fun and Christmas dog peeker pattern sets to create the little doggie. The little bones are brads I had in my stash.  

Mother to be

Little Scraps of Heaven had a cute sketch this week. So I played along. 

I used Mother to be, Be my baby babies and Lace circle. To create my card 

flowers for you

I've had a project in mind for the last 3 challenges Little Scraps of Heaven has hosted but time slipped away each week. This week I was determined to play along with this sketch.

Here is my take on the sketch

I used 3 different files to create this card. The Turtle is from Turtle Valentine, the flower petals and leaves are from Daisy and the stem and bee is from Spring has Sprung. 

MVP

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.

 
Supplies used:
     April Flower Fairy paper piecing  from KaDoodle Bug Designs
     3-D butterfly paper piecing file from KaDoodle Bug Designs
     Embossing folder from Cuttlebug
     scallop border punch from EK
     paper shaper from Penny Duncan Creations
     Sweet buttons embosslits from SU!
     paper is from The Angel Company and from my stash
     stamp is from The Angel Company
     

Congrats grad

Technostamper had another cute sketch this week and I couldn't resist playing along.
Here is my version

and here is the sketch I followed.


The cute little owl is a paper piecing from Kadoodle Bug Designs. t's the freebie this week and if you hurry you can get both a digital stamp and a paper piecing file for free.  The paper is from my stash and the saying is from The Angel Company.  

Mothers Day card #1

I fell in love with the sketch over at Techno Stamper and these flowers is my favorite paper piecing file over at  kadoodle bug designs

here is the sketch

and here is my take on the sketch

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. 

panda birthday

This sweet image is made from paper piecing files from KaDoodle Bug Designs For this card I used 3 different files. The Bear is from Going Gumballs over you. The flowers are from Hula Bear and the Cupcake is from Good Luck bears.
The sketch I used is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday
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.
The blue patterned paper is from The Angel Company and the rest are from my stash.
