Celebrate Books!

Hi everyone,

It’s Saturday which means it is time for another challenge with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. It’s a brand new month which means we have a new challenge hostess which is Joycelyn Pelkey.

To start of the month Joycelyn has challenged us to Celebrate Books … we had the option to either create a bookmark, use book/student image, or create a card inspired by a favorite book.

Well as MFT Stamps has just come out with two brand new sets that are book related I just had to use them. The sentiment used on the front of my card is from the Clearly Sentimental About Books which is this month’s triple scoop set. The books are from an older MFT set called I heart Books.

To create my card I used a recent SFYTT sketch (21st August). I stamped the sentiment onto the Spellbinders Labels 7 dies which look like an open book. To make it even more like a book I score the centre of the book a little and attach the middle to the card with double sided tape while the sides are raised from the card using foam tape.

Here is the inside of my card, I used the new MFT Stamps Well Read WTG along with another sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Books. The couch and pillows were both paper pieced.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
