OK, on to the challenge! The sweet and oh-so-talented Joycelyn Pelkey is our hostess this month and today she's challenging us to do a book related project. Here's what she says:
With School starting up again let’s celebrate books! Create a bookmark, use a book/student image, or create a card inspired by a favourite book.
Fun, huh?!! Well, I just *had* to do another card with MFT's new Clearly Sentimental About Books, which is this month's Triple Scoop set.
And what better paper to use than October Afternoon's Report Card? I stamped my Framed Greetings border and the sentiment on Very Vanilla with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it out with my Framed Greetings Die-namics die. I thought that sentiment needed some flowers, so I made some with my Flower and Leaf Trio Die-namics die, put some little buttons in their centers, and added some punched out leaves. Easy peasy with those Die-namics dies, I tell ya!
Sooooo, NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
