Hi Everyone,

Here’s a look at my newest paper piece set I’ve listed on eBay. You can defiantly see that I was inspired by the M & M characters. I love how it came out.

Caillou Paper Piece Set

Hi everyone!

I’m so excited! I received three custom orders to do some paper piecings from a buyer a couple of weeks ago. I’d like to share with you the pictures of this second set I made. Would you believe I forgot to take pictures of the first set before I mailed them off? Oh well, I do seem to forget a lot these days. LoL… This set was all packaged up, taped and all ready to be mailed and when I was walking out the door I remembered THE PICTURES…. So I came back in, cut open the envelope on one side and pulled them out so I could take the pictures. After I took them I just stuck the paper piecings back in the envelope, taped up the side and you couldn’t even tell that I did it.

For this set my buyer had some pictures of her twin girls sitting on the couch watching Caillou on TV. On the first paper piece I left the couch empty so she could crop a picture and have her girls sitting on the couch. I sure hope she likes how her set turned out.

Dora and the Unicorn Prince Paper Piece Set

Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you my newest 9 piece paper piecing set I listed on eBay tonight. I really love how it turned out. I handmade all of the paper piecings accept for the tree and picture frame. I wasn’t planning on making a frame with this set but when I pulled out my Cricut cartridge ‘Cindy Lou’ I noticed the tree had a frame option and I blurted out, “How neat is this.” so of course I had to make one. Unfortunately when I was almost finished with the set I go and spill water on my finished unicorn paper piece. OMG! It was hard enough to make it the first time but now I have to make it again. LoL… Thank goodness I was able to take the tail and main apart and spread it out on my table without tearing it. I was hoping I could reuse it after it dried. Sad to say the body was a hopeless case. LoL.. Well at least I got it done.

Sponge Bob Paper Piece Set

'BaD HaiR DaY'

Here‘s my latest paper piece set I’ve listed on eBay. I was thinking I’d do something that was fun and then I thought of ‘BaD HaiR DaY’. This is a condition I suffer from every day. LoL.. It sure was fun to make and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

The title was cut from my Cricut and every thing else is handmade.

Strawberry Shortcake Paper Piecing Set

I'm really enjoying making the paper piecing sets instead of my layouts. Between trying to figure out what paper and flowers to use and then where to put them it takes me a week to do one layout. I was able to complete 2 different paper piecing sets in 4 days. WooHoo!! I'm on a roll!! LoL.... A couple weeks ago a made a Strawberry Shortcake set and it did so well that I thought I would put together a different set so here it is.

I love turning blank pieces of paper into works of art.

Winnie the Pooh Paper Piece Set

I was watching TV over the weekend and saw a commercial for a new 'Winnie the Pooh' movie coming out soon. So I started thinking that would make a great paper piecing set to list on eBay. I got to work and created this set and listed it tonight. I’m really glad on how they turned out. I would like to let you know that when I make my paper pieces I always start out with blank piece of card stock and cut, glue and artistically detailed each piece. I strive to make them as realistic as I can.

I also made this frame and tag.

The Little Engine Paper Piece Set

‘The Little Engine that Could’

I loved making this paper piece. It took a little longer than I thought it would because of the detail. I had the scrapbook paper and I wanted to make a frame. This was what got me originally started on making these paper pieces. I’m glad how they turned out. When I make my paper pieces I always start out with blank piece of card stock and cut, glue and artistically detailed each piece. I strive to make them as realistic as I can.


The paper was the inspiration for my paper piecings.
