My daughter along with I went to the monthly crop at the scrapbook store This specific past weekend. We've been going every month since the beginning of the year. the item's about the only time I get any scrapping done! I packed an hour before we got there - talk about waiting until the last minute! I might as well have kept my stuff at home because I scrapped one little thing from the all 5 hours I was at the crop. I spent 3 hours on a custom order for Etsy (50 wine charms!). I was determined to finish the job over the weekend. Rather than spend all 5 hours scrapbooking along with still have to work on the custom order after I got home, I just brought the item with me along with finished the item there! I'll post a photo after the order has been received by the customer. I don't want to spoil any surprises for anyone. ;-)
Like I said, I did get one little scrapbooking project done. I had about an hour to kill after the wine charms were finished along with I ate dinner (chicken alfredo pizza - yum!). While we were in NH last fall our camp was visited by a mama black bear along with her cub. They stayed about an hour - long enough for us to get some decent photos along having a short video. I decided to do a paper piecing of a black bear for the structure that will I intended to do at the crop. The structure didn't get done however the paper piecing did. I haven't lost my touch for producing them coming from scratch.
This specific is what I created...
along with This specific is the image I used to make my pattern...

the item's a free clip art image I found with Google. Isn't he cute? Obviously my bear that will's pieced together with cardstock, glue, chalk along with pen doesn't look quite the same however that will's the point. the item's a one-of-a-kind piece for my scrapbook. My bear is kind of sloppy because I rushed. He also has that will deer from the headlights look because I used white pen for his eyes. If you want to learn to paper piece without a pattern, check out This specific paper piecing tutorial I did a couple of years ago. the item's fun to get back to basics every now along with then!
