Puzzle pieces for embellishments

Had this great idea of using puzzle pieces for embellishments. An album I have has a string hooked together with a letter stamped on each piece spelling out a word. I have an old puzzle and thought I'll just paint the pieces (with my scrapping paint... Hi Judy) and stamp them rather than buying such an embellishment. After getting the puzzle out of the box it suddenly occurred to me I'm going to have to find pieces that fit together! hahaha so started do the puzzle today. I'm going to get a few figured out, painted and lay them in the box for stamping as needed in the future! Man, I sure know how to make work for myself.

I've used the big floor puzzle pieces (painted, sanded edges) as mats for photos, but never thought of using the smaller ones for embellishments. What a great idea! Now to find a puzzle with pieces missing the kids will let me have......... Sandy

why upset the kids, just go to the dollar store. They have everything from giant floor puzzles to really tiny pieces. Even the wooden ones that fit in a frame, have one of those sitting around waiting to be altered when I get around to it.

cheers, Lenora

Great idea Lynne! I can't wait to see it finished. I have a couple puzzles that I haven't put together in years. Maybe I"ll have a use for them now!

I used a puzzle on a card by picking fairly light colored pieces and added the letters for the name with rub ons, then embossed them with a extra fine clear powder. The outside of the card had the name RICH spelled on the pieces at the top I printed the words "You are like a puzzle", And on the inside I printed "with a missing piece" added another piece of the puzzel and printed "We still love you" and below that I printed "Happy Birthday".
