A bit of paper piecing!

Hello all and I apologise for being MIA this week!  I usually try to post a couple of times a week - but this week has definitely been 'one of those weeks' lol!  Husband is now back at base camp - he'd been off to France working this week (alright for some!) and we just seem to have been so busy. And I can't believe it's now March - but oh, I'm so looking forward to lighter mornings and evenings! But anyway, less waffle (and another promise to try and "do better next time" - i.e. visit everyones blogs over the weekend!).

As it's Friday (Yippee!) it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz and this week our lovely Jac is hosting the challenge and it's "Paper Piecing".  Now this isn't something I've done really before - so a challenge for me too!  And I've used an image from our sponsor this week - the fabulous Bugaboo


Apologies for the photo being a bit dark!  I coloured the image with copics - and then paper pieced the cup! 


The papers and ribbon are from stash and I've used a Tonic border punch on the edge.  And I just love that sentiment (although in my case, it's tea rather than coffee!).
So I hope you'll have a look at the fantastic inspiration from the DT - and then join us at CraftyCatz with your paper piecing! 
Back soon,
Kim x

    Oh I love your paper pieced cup! The sentiment is so funny. I've never been a coffee drinker but all the quips about how addictive and "necessary" it is always give me a chuckle. Great card Kim! Hugs!
