I finally tried making a paper piecing by not using the Cricut!!!! I was showing DS the Surprise Swap slide show and he really liked the paper piecings, especially the Stitches. Stitch is his favorite character. He asked if I could make one for him since he drew me an awesome picture the other day. So, I got out my Stitch coloring book and picked the easiest looking one and did it!!!!!

This is the drawing DS made for me:

And this is my Stitch paper piecing:

His head is pop-dotted to give it more dimension:

Thanks for letting me share. I'm just so excited that I can actually do this. I thought it would be beyond my capabilities!!!! I need to find some things to paper piece for the Toppers & Tags swap now!!

Thank you all. DS is 15 and loves Disney as much as I do. We started taking him to WDW when he was 20 months old and he's probably been at least 50 times since. Everyone always said he'd outgrow it and start not wanting to go since we go so often, but he "gets" Disney and wants to go to WDW any chance we get.
