Piecing Naptime

Paper piecing is probably my favourite paper crafting technique.  I do love it so couldn't resist the LIM challenge today.  http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/lucky-dip-week-248.html


I used a stamp with a very familiar image in my house - what is is with cats and clean washing????  You'd never find mine in the dirty pile!   This is Newton's Naptime from Newton's Nook and I simply stamped it a few times on a variety of scraps of patterned paper to make a nice comfy pile for him to sleep on.  He's pieced from a scrap of kraft and coloured with lots of lines using pencils to get a tabby look.

As I used a lot of scraps from my snippets drawer, I'll link this up to Pixie's Snippet Challenge when it opens later tonight too http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/

I could do with a little nap myself now!

    Please bring a bottle to the bonfire party in the Playground on Thurs night - doesn't necessarily HAVE to be alcoholic of course!
