Firstly we would all like to offer our deepest sympathy for all those who have been hit by the devastating tornados that hit several states of South America with many people losing their lives. Our own Christine is from the area that has been hit - fortunately she is safe and hope she and all others will remain safe.

We have had a tremendous amount of entries this week - over 600 WOW!! We really tried to get around to you all, if we have missed any of you please do forgive us, the school holidays did take up extra time for some of us.

On to this week's challenge which is

Paper Piecing or Piercing

The DT have been featuring stamps from My Favourite Things this week

You don't HAVE to use them but if you have any we would love to see them.

This is the final week that the lovely VICKY  joins us as designer in the spotlight and we would like to say a huge thanks for joining us.

I chose the image Serenity Now and Basic Grey's Marjorlaine papers for my paper piecing of  the image and the water lily in the sentiment panel which is also part of the set.

I used Spellbinders Spades borders

Hero Art's pearls, and ribbon from my stash.

As usual Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 voucher to her FANTASTIC Simon Says Stamp Superstore !! See the NEWEST stuff on the All New Just In Page For fabulous tutorials, inspiration and candy you should keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp Blog too !!! :-)

I'm keeping this post as short as possible as I'm having Google problems yet again!!!
First I JUMPED off the page then when I finally got back into my account HE had created THREE identical pages!!
I'm leaving two in draft as I'm worried if I delete them they might all disappear!!
Is is any wonder I've been getting migraines on and off all week.
I hope you are all having a better day than me so far LOL!!
