Description
I wasn't sure what category to put this picture in. Paper piecing is an old hobby of mine, and I decided to put my paper hoard to good use (it sounds like I hoard a lot of things, doesn't it?). The card is 4.25"W and 5.5" tall. It took a lot of planning to make this picture and coordinate the colours. Originally I was going to use green in it, but decided not to. I made stencils for everything, and I tell ya, it was a pain to cut the tree twice! I'll probably have more of these to show off soon, as I plan to make a bunch for Christmas craft sales. Also, my scanner is working It turned out that the USB cable also blew the power adapter, so I need to get a new one of those too.

* In the original description, I omitted the source of the unicorn (too excited about my scanner working, I guess :-D). I used a photo of Sarah Rose's "Nevada" model as a guide. I didn't intend to mislead anyone. I plan on collecting cards from my co-workers to recycle into something else as well, especially old Christmas ones. I found a trove of horse photos from my model horse days, and am planning to do something with those as well. It seems to me that too much gets tossed, and I hope people would be more likely to hang onto something handmade.
