I like BIG BOOKS and I can not lie.

Good morning! It's Humor Me Wednesday at Catch the Bug; some unusual holidays for this week are:

April 10: National Farm Animals Day, National Siblings Day
April 11: National Pet Day, National Cheese Fondue Day
April 12: National Licorice Day, National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day
April 13: National Peach Cobbler Day, National Scrabble Day
April 14: National Dolphin Day, National Pecan Day

LOL Did you know there were so many fun days to celebrate? Since this whole week is National Library Week, I had to go with that!

I couldn't resist making a card for my daughter for this one...she is an avid reader! She doesn't visit the library though; she likes to purchase them, preferably in hardcover...there are stacks of books in her bedroom! The image is colored with pencils and I've used a simple layout accented with buttons. Maybe I will put a gift card inside...she can buy more books!  LOL

Good morning!  I have a card to share for our new challenge at Creative Card Crew; our sponsor is Delicious Doodles and we would like to see you use punches or dies on your card.  The image I'm using is called Poppy, isn't she beautiful?  I love her ethereal look.  Thank you to Delicious Doodles!

Poppy is colored with pencils and mounted on Spellbinders die cuts.  I found the "perfect" paper in my stash and went with a simple sketch to let the image shine; embellishments include some die cut banners and brads.  The papers are also lightly distressed.
