Paper pieced lollipops!

This seems like one of longest weeks ever.  Not in a bad way though, in a weird way.  Since we were home because of the snow, it felt like a weekend in the middle of the week so it's odd that today is weekend eve!  Haha!

Yesterday I posted a picture of my desk and the card I was working on.  I picked up a $1.50 stamp at Michael's this weekend and I had several ideas for the stamp.   Stickles, coloring, paper piecing, etc.  This is what I ended up with.


I paper pieced the stamp, mainly because the bottoms of those lollipops were solid black and I didn't like that :)  I used my nestabilities to cut out the circle shape but it was too close to the edge and ended up straight on one side.  I remedied that by adding a file tab to cover up the straight edge.  The rest of the card just kind of fell into place.  I used older Basic Grey papers and October Afternoon label stickers.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a beautiful Thursday!  I'll be back tomorrow with another card.  See you then!!

    This is the longest week EVER! You are totally right. We get out of school early, at 11:45 today, and it already feels like we've been here for 12 hours!

    I love how you paper pieced the lollipops! They look good enough to eat :)

    This is so cute! I love the paper pieced lollies. Too cute (and puts me in the mood for one-I think I have a cinnamon bun lollipop stashed in my purse).
