Clean and simple is an idea I continue to work on, so I thought I'd play along with this fun challenge from Anne Marie at The Paper Players. I combined it with the CAS challenge today from Splitcoast which is to be inspired by the word school. Now what I was thinking (and I am going to say I wasn't) picking the image I did, I do not know. Talk about some seriously fussy fussy cutting! Yikes! I already struggle with my scissor skills on a normal day, so this was most definitely a challenge.
People always seem to get paper piecing and paper piercing mixed up. I actually did both on this one, but the piecing happens on the dress, bow, shirt, boy socks, and books. Those tiny little spaces were awful to cut out let me tell ya! I kept losing them my desk and was happy when I finally got them all glued down. I love this color combination so much! I think my current three favorite SU colors are represented. :)

One of my favorite pictures from her 1 month photo shoot. It's hard to believe that she'll be 2 months old next week. The days are just flying by!

Now don't lie, Rita...we all know that you taught Laila to fussy cut because only her tiny, little hands could have ct those itty-bitty details so perfectly. Lol! You GO girl with your cutting skills. You are a "Paper Snip Ninja" Hiii-ya! Love those rich fall-ish colors, too. Thank you so much for playing along with my challenge this week at the Paper Players! :)
