Camp Minnie-Mickey Paper Piecing

I know this is one the DIS scrappers favorite pieces. This is also an example of what happens to me when I get an idea stuck in my head. I will look at pictures of the park for inspiration, and this is based off one of the signs that marks the direction and entrance of Camp Minnie-Mickey. When I found the photo of the sign, I knew this is what I wanted to do, but I didn't know how I could possibly do it. But it kept eating at me.

So I saved a copy of the photo, and in Paint Shop Pro I erased all the color, leaving only something where the lines would be. Then on another layer, I basically traced the remaining bits to create a line drawing of the sign. Then I had to break it apart into each of the layers, print on each of the colors of cardstock, cut it out and piece it together. The easy part were the letters, those are Sizzlet alphabet "Playground."

On the actual sign, a bear is attacking Mickey, Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie, but after everything it took to do this, I could not tackle the bear. However, now that the image has been created, making more is a simple task. Well, as simple as a paper piecing ever is. Just print, cut and assemble.

For the swap, I also made a library pocket and tag, but I sent mine away, and haven't remade it yet, so no pic.
