The idea behind my squares

I've opened this blog to share my squares with you

It is my intention to make a square most days using up some of my many scraps and bits and pieces along with some of my stamps that haven't been used very much at all

I got the inspiration for this blog from Johanna who I followed right throughout 2010 - Johanna has given me her permission to follow suit and try to do the same as she did - Johanna is a hard act to follow her squares have been amazing

Allsorts Challenge - Recycling

























The Allsorts challenge this week is to " Recycle " its being sponsored by Letraset who have kindly supplied Aquamarker pens for the lucky winner

I've used lots of bits and pieces to produce this square - the card itself is from a cereal box - I then covered it with a page from an old book. I printed my main image on canvas and then cut round it and added this lovely little frame that is available for Crafty Individuals after I had inked and stamped it. I added a piece of old lace to the side and finished off with my wording

Thanks for visiting my blog your comments are appreciated. if you would like to follow me on my quest to produce a square everyday of the year then please join my followers

Created by hand challenge - paper piecing

I used a page from an old book which I inked for my background- stamped the postcard and suitcase images and then added the paper postcard and tickets. Hope this counts as paper piecing there are 4 different pieces of paper on it
