Good morning and happy Easter! Here's hoping for some sunshine to make the long weekend even more enjoyable. It's been a busy week for me, I spent quite a lot of time with my Mum and sister... my brother had a few days away and they needed someone to walk his very energetic, young border collie, still I got plenty of exercise! I then had my little granddaughters overnight (definitely not calling it a sleepover as Livvy had a bug and I spent more time changing bedding and comforting her than I did sleeping!) -could have been worse, at least she was ok the next morning! Amazing how children bounce back isn't it! Pity it takes me a lot longer to recover from a sleepless night!
Anyways, back to the card which is my DT card for this weeks challenge at Sweet Stampin', sponsored by Live and Love Crafts-the theme is paper piecing...yay!!! I love a bit of paper piecing! I bought some stamps at a recent papercraft show from a company I hadn't heard of before -House of Zandra- I was very taken with them thinking they would be great for paper piecing (which they are...) they're quite large and quite simple. I coloured the girl with copics and paper pieced her jacket and 2 of the flowers, with a tiny scrap of LOTV pink dotted paper which I couldn't bear to throw away, added a couple of die cut leaves and a LOTV sentiment, so quite a quick and easy card to make!
Thank you for taking the time to visit, hope you'll be tempted to join us this week, just click here

Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
