Paper Piecing Made Easy (Really!)

What if you could make most of your own embellishments? What if you could do it inexpensively and easily? Paper piecing is a fun and simple way to use what you already have to make what you need. If you can draw a circle, a rectangle, and a line, then you are already halfway to making your own perfectly pieced embellishments!

Kelli Crowe says, "I understand that you don't have endless amounts of time to push teeny pieces of paper around. Me either. I like to keep my scrapbooking fun and easy! When I am not home-schooling my three boys and folding endless loads of laundry, I have been blessed to work on some pretty cool scrapping projects. I have participated in eight of the Autumn Leaves Designing with Books and Calendars, and am currently on the Two Peas in a Bucket web site design team. I love to share my process of finding inspiration and translating it onto a page with other scrapbookers!"

You don't have to have a ton of ideas - you just need to know where to find them. By looking for inspiration in magazines, on clothing, and in home furnishings, paper piecing inspiration is all around. (And it is free!) You also do not have to be much of an artist. I will show you the process of looking at an image and reducing it to basic, easy to draw shapes. Once you experience the process, you'll find paper piecing opportunities everywhere you look!
