I absolutely LOVE to quilt! I love piecing, I love shopping for fabric, I love hand stitching, I love snuggling up in a quilt! But....I really don't have time to quilt right now. Not with fabric anyway. I do have time to quilt with paper tho! This page 
is made with a collection of different designer papers I had in my scrap basket. I really wanted to focus on the picture of Ben, so I made a faux quilt backdrop that kind of blends into the background. The colors are so saffron, celery, rose red and soft sky. I tied them all together with a strip of Cutie Pie paper (also a scrap believe it or not). I added some faux stitching around the edges with my white gel pen. (Don't tell, but I didn't even paper pierce! I just drew them on!) The mini brads are from a couple different color families to match...sorry..."coordinate" with the papers. I covered a chipboard heart with scraps from the scraps of paper I used for the background and "stitched" them together as well. The letters are also chipboard that I pressed into my craft white pad to "color." (can you "color" with white? ) I stuck it all together with glue dots which are from an alien planet because nothing in this world is stickier! I pulled out my newly mounted onto dominoes So Many Sayings set, being careful to life with my legs, and stamped some cute words right onto the stripes on the left. I also used other images from that same set to stamp the dots along the bottom of Ben's picture. I was actually going to send this page into SU for a contest, but darn it all....I didn't want to make it again and I wasn't about to give it up! I really liked it! So, somebody just send me a prize. ;o)
