It'll Be Okay


Hey there! How is everyone doing? I am doing not to bad. Enjoying beautiful weather and honestly surprised at how fast this summer is going.  A total shock it could slow down just a little bit right? We were not home when all of the bad weather hit on Tuesday night but many friends and family had tons of damage due to a storm that came through with large marble size to golf ball size hail. So many things are destroyed and many will be picking up the pieces.  My heart goes out to them.

Creative Knockouts has a brand new challenge for you this week.  We are on Challenge #99 how exciting is that.  I am super stoked that we are almost on our 100th challenge.  Anyway getting side tracked again.  Our challenge to you is to do Paper Piecing (stamp an image and then do it again on pattern paper cut it out and paste it to the original image).  Our sponsor for this week is Craft Classes on line.
Prize: A seat in one of their classes up to $25

This is one technique I don't do enough but it is super fun to do.  My creation is above at the start of my post.  It is a clean and simple design. with lots of layers! It was a blast to paper piece the boots, jacket and umbrella with fun colors of pattern paper. I made this card with the bad storms that many communities have had Tuesday and Wednesday night.  Sometimes you just need to know everything will be okay.

We would love to have you hop on over to Creative Knockouts and show us what you can do with paper piecing.

Have a wonderful day!

  6. Sorry about the storm damage to your friends and family. I hope they've been able to recover okay. This is such a sweet card. Love the image and your paper piecing. The black embossed square really makes the image pop. Maggie, DT Teamie
