January 23 - Playing With Paper Strips

This is another challenge I squealed over when I saw it. I come from a sewing background and find playing with paper as much fun as playing with fabric. And boy did I have fun :-D Somewhere along the line (probably when I spied LBW's clipping masks on sale) the idea of petticoats got stuck in my head and I just had to run with it. (Had I more time I would have found ways/templates to add ruffles and such to the strips, but Time Is Not My Friend these days (nor my hard drive), and I just needed to get this done.

And man was I happy when I found the quote? You betcha. And not just to use it, the other quotes I found make it seem like a must have for my bookshelf.

Anyway. Don't mind the rambling.
