It’s time once again for another CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! Did you know that September 8th is International Literacy Day? Well, in honor of that day, this week’s challenge is to create a CLEAN AND SIMPLE design based on a book, and use the colors Black, White and Red ONLY! How fun is that?!! You can use a children’s book, fiction, non-fiction, the phone book (good one, right?!) – whatever your little heart desires!!
This week’s sponsor is Paper and Such, and they’ve provided an amazing prize for this week’s TGIF Club Winner, but you know the drill – you’ll have to stop on over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog! Oh, and while you’re there, please be sure and check out the amazing eye candy that the other Girl Fridays have for you there!!
I love to read. I especially love to read biographies. And I always have a stack of books on my night stand that I intend to read . . . some day. LOL But I have such a hard time
sitting down and reading an entire book from beginning to end. One of the books on my nightstand that I haven’t even opened up yet is “The Help.” I’ve seen the movie previews, want to see the movie desperately, and really want to read the book before I see the movie. Somehow, I highly doubt that that’s going to happen! LOL But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be inspired by the cover, right?! When I saw this cover, my heart skipped a beat . . . I had recently purchased a download from the Silhouette Studio for the cutest park bench. Perfect!!PRODUCTS USED:ETA: I'll also be submitting this for this week's CARDS Magazine Gallery Challenge - Wood Grain.
STAMPS: PTI
INK: TSUKINEKO (Onyx Black VersaFine and VersaMark)
