A new Stamp set, Store, and Paper Craft Community

Now, I've been dying to get this little gal on paper, and her she is! I won 3 Little Frieda & Friends stamp sets at the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge at the beginning of April. The co-founder and coordinator of SSIC, Lisa Hjulburg, has a new store, The Craft's Meow, and she sponsored this challenge. There is a sweet story about Little Frieda on the store blog HERE. Go and check out the store and blog, you won't be disappointed. The store is stocked with special stamps, supplies, and kits!!! Meet the talented designers and design team while your there.

I'm going to call this piece 'Card Candy" because I don't know exactly what I want to do with it. Scrapbook page, bookmark, or card??? I paper pieced her dress, hat and socks/shoes. I colored her hair, lips, and flower with Sharpies, then her skin and shading with Prismacolor pencils. I stamped the sentiment above her and wah-lah, done. I'll be entering this piece at a new community group I found, Simple Scrapping Crafts. Although I'm just getting started, after much stalking, I recommend you check it out. You'll see some familiar faces.  For the Friday CAS Challenge Group 'Paper Piecing'.

Sweet, love the paper piecing on the dress and hat. I can see this as a bookmark or birthday card. Really cute.
