Thinking of Reading

MY SHERI CRAFTS CHALLENGE #105 - Read Across America

...create a project that has something to do with reading. (Examples are bookmarks, projects with a book on it image of reading, something about your favorite book,etc.)

DCWV Timeless Type cardstock, and scraps from stash.  A Child's Year cart.  Offray ribbon.  Michaels bird.  Weathered Wood and Broken China Distress Ink, & VersaFine Black Onyx ink.  Stamp unknown.  A2 size card.

 Loved this theme, which was perfect for an all-occasion card for my MIL.  She spent her career as an elementary school teacher, primarily 2nd grade.  She has taught many a child how to read during her lifetime.

Treat Bags, 4th of July

Treat bags filled with goodies to take to a neighbor's bar-be-que.  Super simple & fun.  Holiday theme is from "A Child's Year" & "Graphically Speaking."  Duck fan bag was found items from a scrapbook kit, re-purposed.  Yummy fun! 

Happy birthday America!

Monochrome: "Less Is More" Challenge Blogspot

First creation from my craft space in my new home!  To get my creative juices flowing after a long hiatus, I went to my favorite challenge blogspot, "Less Is More". Things come together so quickly for these creations.  This week it was MONOCHROME. 

"A Child's Year" & "Gypsy Wanderings" cuts.  Fruit Punch Stickles.  Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Various papers.  A2 size card.

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

P.S.

To Chrissie & Mandi's point in the comments, the lighter cardstock actually IS pink, I think its the photography and light that makes it look lavender. A second attempt to re-photograph made the Stickles look too orange. Errrrr. What's one to do...?

I appreciate the critiques and comments - they are all treasured!
