Krafty Chicks Challenge #679: Anything Goes

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

I can't believe tomorrow is September already.Where does the go?? And why must it go by so fast?? The grandkids have their first day of school tomorrow too. They are all excited to see their friends again and their mom is grateful for the peace and quiet.

This week on the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog, it's Anything Goes week. One of the easiest challenges because you can have any theme you like. It can be a card, (fancy fold even), a treat package, home decor, or a scrapbook page. Literally Anything Goes!

Here's my project: 

 

On the weekend, I stumbled upon this age old technique of Paper Piecing on the Stampin' Up! Facebook page. I had time to play. So I dug out the stamp set, went through my stash of DSP, stamped and fussy cut paper pieces many times over, adhered and assembled 3 cards.


Can you guess which pieces are fussy cut?? The pillows, book, throw blanket, pajama bottoms, socks, and coffee mug!

Don't forget to decorate the inside of your cards and the envelopes. I keep it clean and simple with just a little DSP and a coordinating stamped image.

I'd like to take this time to thank the August Guest Designer Kimberly for her fantastic inspiration this month. She did not disappoint. I encourage you to visit her blog, scroll through her many pieces of art, and show her some kindness in a comment. 

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for All Occasions week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
