Lose yourself in a book



I've been teaching today (quilting not cardmaking) and feel pretty tired out, but this is a quick posting I want to do before I sit down with a large glass of wine...    I have new stamps to play with, but I haven't broken my stash diet, they were a prize for winning the challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad, who were sponsored by Rogue Redhead Designs.  Vicki posted my stamps last Saturday from the US and they arrived here on Thursday, which was a really nice surprise.

As an only child, I have always loved to read and to lose myself in a book, so this stamp (one of the 3) is right up my street and I made a quick card with it.  It's based on the sketch at Truly Scrumptious, I've coloured with Copics and added some cardstock embossed with script as well as some Crafty Individuals DP and a Craftwork Cards sentiment. Thank you to Vicki at Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge and thank you to Sharon at Rogue Redhead Designs!
My card is for the following challenges:
Sew Many Cards - anything goes
Charisma Cards - no embellies
Paperplay - stamp it out

  1. Lovely Anne.Like you I love books and have perfected the habit of 'shutting out the world' when I get my nose into a book! Maybe it's an only child thing?!

  2. Hi Anne, great card and congratulations on winning some stamps. I love reading also, always have. Even if it's midnight or turned when I go to bed I still have to have a read. Then I wonder why I'm tired when I up at 6.30. I don't want to put one down when get into it. Love your card just the right image for you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend . Hugs x ChrisB

    Enjoy your glass of wine.
