"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!"
~ Psalm 27:13-14

PAPER~PIECED TULIPS / DS #8...


It's Thursday!!! That means we have another Deconstructed Sketch Challenge for you today! Jen whipped up an awesome sketch this week! I hope you can play!

I decided to paper piece one of my oldie, but goodie digis, Study of Tulips. The paper is way retired SU!, but I LOVE those colors!!! It's really easy to paper piece a digi with patterned paper, just trim it down and run it through the printer like normal paper. If you're using a thicker stock, check your printer's setup, a lot of times you can choose that you are using a thicker paper.


Here's the sketch:


Here's some more of that fabulous twine from my friend Jodi, on Etsy. Her shop is called "talkingtwineandtrim". This sampler of 11 colors, 10 yards of each, was only $12.00! And look at her adorable AND functional packaging! How many times has your bundle of twine ended up being just a giant knotty mess? Not with these! If you go visit her, tell her Arielle says hello!


I also played along with these "flower" challenges:



Have a great night!!!
