Hello everyone!!! First I want to thank Sweet Judy for stepping in on such short notice last week....I was sitting in the ER with my Dad. He was finally admitted at 1:00 in the morning!! He is home now and doing much better...thank goodness!!! Anyway...on with the show!!
Since tomorrow is my birthday, I decided my birthday present to myself was picking my favorite technique which is Paper Piecing!!! Beate has a wonderful tutorial found here in the resources section. Have fun!!!
Joan what an awesome challenge. Happiest of Birthdays my friend. May you have a fabulous day! Here's my card Joan.

A VERY Happy Birthday to you, Joan!! Loved your challenge since I don't do much paper piecing, but I love the results one gets. I combined your challenge with the CAS one for today....they seemed to go together well.
GREAT challenge Joan! Scissors and I never got along in the past but we've become friends and I actually enjoy paper piecing now too! Hope to make a card this evening!!!
Glad to hear that your dad is home and resting now. Hope he continues to do well and have a speedy recovery!
It's a little early, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it's a great one!!
I'm sorry your dad had to go through that, but hopefully he's resting comfortably at home now.
Here's my paper-pieced puppy card.

Joan- a special thanks for this challenge, I finally get it straight what paper piecing is I used Inkadinkado's Sea Breezes for my sailboat, and shades of blue and green, applied around a scalloped circle template. Here's Sunny Sailing.

Had to do another one- I had this butterfly started, so I re-stamped it on pink batik style paper- but didn't want to cover up much of my original. Here's Happy Butterfly.

I love paper piecing too! I have found that the nicest people love paper piecing and are born in May ;) Here is my Red Chic card. I'll be back to comment in the gallery after lunch with DH.

After seeing all the pretty cards- I decided I wanted to stamp an image of a lady in a dress- so I combined SU's Sweet Serendipity for my message- Live Each Day with Laughter (&) enthusiasm. with Judi Kin's Suzie. I added some Xs and Os, embossed with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots EF, and a fruit border. Here's Live Each Day

Joan, Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful blessed day! I paper pieced magnolias for my card. I combined it with a technique that Joan shared with us almost 2 years ago called pounded flowers.

Thanks SCSers for all your encouragement!
Thought this sentiment from SU's Loving Thoughts went well with this paper pieced birthday party scene with Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Christopher Robin- here's Winnie the Pooh Birthday
