Hang in There!
My mom's boss recently went on a ski trip and broke her leg - well, shattered her knee is more like it. The weird thing is, she wasn't skiing when she broke it. She was just walking along and fell. Crazy huh? She was in the hospital in the US for about a week, is now back in Bermuda and wouldn't you know she hobbled back in to work within a day of getting back on the island! She's a very determined lady. I just happened to be working on this card and mom snapped it up for her:
I had originally envisaged a smaller bird but then I remembered this Hero Arts stamp set. I love these birds. I think they're kind of goofy looking and they make me smile. :)
My initial inspiration was the paper piecing challenge at Moxie Fab. However, while I like this card, I don't think the paper piecing is "innovative" enough for the competition so I am off to try and get a little more creative with my paper piecing! Have a great day!
