So many books ...

Hello and welcome, 

This is my DT card for the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog September. Challenges start on the 1st of the month and are always anything goes. You can find out more at  A Perfect Time to Craft Challenge Open Challenge Blog.

One of our sponsors this month is our own creative designer Anne Constantly-Carding. I've chosen Anne's Book Lovers kit which comes with 4 colour options, each with 4 different sentiments and images. As a retired Librarian I have many book loving friends!

I also used an A5 cream card blank; burgundy cardstock to match dome of the books; and Maximum Crafts A5 Easy Frame die.

I hope you like the cards I've made. If you've got time it would be great if you could leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it. I would really appreciate it.

I love cats

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

This is the other card mentioned in my Garden cats post which was my DT card  for A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge June. I used the CraftsUprint Garden cats mini kit on a 6x6 cream card blank. I've lots of friends and family who are cat lovers, so I think I'll be using this kit quite a bit.

The challenges start on the 1st of the month and are always anything goes. You can find out more at  A Perfect Time to Craft Challenge Open Challenge Blog if you'd like to join in.



I hope you like my card. If you've got time it would be great if you could leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it. I would really appreciate it.
