This week's challenge...will not be a surprise for some of you that follow my blog... it is to Paper Piece!

I used Paper piecing on my project yesterday for MFT's VIP kit, and I've made a new sample today using "Lovin From the Oven" If you're not familiar with the technique, you can watch a quick little video tutorial I made HERE!!

I pieced together Who's That Girl's outfit using Cosmo Cricket's "Garden Variety" papers. I added the sentiment "never trust a skinny cook" to the inside of my card, which just makes me *giggle*

To enter, add your project to your blog, or online gallery and then add your sample to the Mr Linky box below. Be sure to link the specific post referencing your sample, not a general link to your blog.

This challenge is open until February 24th at 9pm at which time, the Mr Linky Box will be closed to new entries. I will announce the following week's challenge, and share my top three favorite projects on the morning of the 25th.
