Welcome to Pieces of April!!!

If you are looking for my Clear it Out Tuesday post scroll down or click HERE.

April showers make the snow go away so the May flowers can make their way out to greet the sun. I saw lots of snow drops on Sunday, tulips and daffodils were poking their leaves out of the ground, what a fabulous sight. Shopping Our Stash has a great challenge for this second week of April…pieces of April which means paper piecing. This is a fun challenge and you can use up some scraps and that is what the blog is all about. I love to shop in my stash I never know what I might uncover.
For my Pieces of April I used a House Mouse image from House Mouse Designs these little guys are my “go to” stamp for lots of occasions and it’s been a little while since I used one.

 

I picked the image because it reminded me of the  March winds we had and how March went out like a lion, I paper pieced the balloon cut the image with my labels 8 spellbinders die and layered it on the pink that I cut with the Fancy Labels 8 die by Spellbinders. Doesn’t he look like he is having a fun time.

Here is the inside of the  card waiting for the sentiment, it was done with some scraps I had in the scrap box.

Challenges I’m entering this in:

Gruffies and Guests Anything goes with the option of lace. I didn’t use lace but I did use a lacy die cut.

Thanks for stopping by today and come back again soon.
