Paper Piecing Monday

I'm shattered, I think the week as caught up with me and I hit a wall late afternoon. But I've had a fabulous time. Saturday was full of laughter, food and yes I did do some scrapbooking.
Ally Pally was brilliant, not a lot of stash that I didn't have how bad is that. I did manage to pick up the some new stamps from LOTV and the few stamps from WOJ that I didn't have, Katharina is so full of fun and adorable, couple of quick chats with Bev and Jacqui and I met the lovely Marianne and her hubby Graham. (Sorry for the Tilda post)
It's a good job I made this card on Friday it was suppose to be a quick card so I could make another but funny the paper piecing took forever. I've made it for Just Magnolia and Moving with the times wanted an easel card so I couldn't resist. The papers is Linen Closet from DCWV, I say papers but they're cardstock and it was a bit more tricky to paper piece with them. I used my MS doiliy punch and I used the largest scallop square nestabilities, roses from Wild Orchid.

STUNNING! Love the color combo and that paper piecing is just GENIUS! What a fantastic job on this easel, WOW. I must get that paper and yeah, DCWV papers are thicker and harder to paper piece. By the way, that's so cool that you got to talk to all those gals :)
