This card has been a couple days in the making as I just couldn't commit a nice block of time to sit down and just get it done. Which isn't a terrible thing though because I was able to see what the new Farm Fresh challenge was and finish this card to fit it. Paper piecing is the name of the game this week which is always a favorite technique to play around with. I altered one of the Miss Anyas from the Garland set by wiping the garland out of her hands before stamping her onto the pattern paper. I chose this beauty because with those braids and full skirt I thought she looked like the gals celebrating during an Oktoberfest. I even took the paper piecing a bit further by using tiny blossoms punched out of a border punch creating a crown of flowers to complete her ensemble. Now I think Anya is ready for a fun fall festival. :)
Well, I'm off to work for the day. Take care and enjoy your weekend!

Hi Amy, have you ever been to someone's blog to see what they have made only to not have enough time to comment on it? Well, it would seem like that is all I have been doing lately. lol... If you would have asked me, I would have sworn that I had left you a commit yesterday on this beautiful card. She is so sweet and I really love how you made her hair look with those sweet little flowers. I also forgot to tell you that I was able to purchase quite a few of your stamps from CC Designs and now I am waiting most impatiently for them to get here. :O) I was very happy to get so many as such a good price. Is CC Designs still going to carry your stamps. I'm not too sure what is going on with their sight, so I thought I had better get what I could while I could. Hugs Lisa
