From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - CASE It!

It's the first Friday of March so it's time for a team blog hop at FTHS!  For something a little different, this month we've all been given another team member to CASE!  I was given Jo and went with her Flurry post from February.

Apologies for the darkness of the photo - trouble with my laptop monitor and it looked fine when I did it and now I have a new one, oopps!  So, I've used the Flurry stamp and printed it onto different papers from Carina Gardner - O Christmas Tree and then I've layered it all onto another sheet and added half pearls for a bit of bling.

I don't think I've paper pieced before and rather enjoyed it so you never know - I may do it again!



So, back to the hop!  If you've arrived at me from Michelle then you are on the right track!  Don't forget to leave me a comment before you hop back to the blog.  One lucky commentator will be chosen from each of our blogs to win a digi stamp of their choice from the store.  Plus one of the commentators from the FTHS blog will be in with a chance of winning at $15 voucher to the store!

The hop will end on Monday 7 March at 6am EST and all winners will be announced on the From The Heart Stamps blog on Wednesday 9 March.

Good luck!

    Ruth, fabulous case and I love your paper piecing. As a tip, I use this for all my photos: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Table-Photo-Studio-Light/dp/B001MYASTG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1457094455&sr=8-22&keywords=cowboy+photography+lighting+kit and it works well and is very inexpensive. Happy Hop!!

    You really did the paper piecing well. I tried it once and was not very successful. Looking at how nice yours turned out makes me think I should try it again!

    This card is so creative. I have never tried printing on to PP and then paper pieced it together (it does look like fun. LOL). Great job CASEing Jo's card:)

    You never paper pieced! Oh my goodness since I can't color like you it comes in handy and has saved me a few times! You have to like to fussy cut though on some images...which I do so it works perfectly for me. Cute card so glad you tried something new!
