Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you are having a great week so far! I am so excited about the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog challenge this week: All About Books! Even though it's not my week to post (my first DT post will be next Monday) I had to join in on this one! As a writer who loves to read as much as craft, this challenge was perfect for me!
One of the reasons I wanted Kate's ABC's was specifically for this adorable girl reading a book! I cut the sweet girl at 2 1/2" and the bookshelf with Read at 2". I used a mixture of papers: K&Company for the background, Fancy Pants for the flowered paper; and My Mind's eye for the rest. I cut "Read" out in three different colors for some dimension, and I attached it with foam tape. I attached the girl with foam tape as well. The green ribbon is from my friend Jessie of Sugarlips Sassy Surprises! The stamp is from K Andrew Designs Crafty Friends. I just love this sentiment and thought it was perfect for a card about reading since books are made from lots of paper (I am not a Kindle fan...I'm an old fashioned book lover!)
Look at all the awesome sayings on this stamp set!! Aren't they fun??!! Click HERE to purchase this set or to see all of K Andrew Designs stamp sets!
And now to the winner of the K Andrew Designs Coffee & Tea for You & Me stamp set from the Getting Cricky Blog Hop! I offered an extra chance in the drawing if you RSVP'd to my post about the Ustream/Blog Hop and I counted those entries first and then the comments on the hop. So random.org picked as the winner.............................................................................................................
And number 10 is.............................................................................................
Congratulations Deb!! I'll send you an email or you can email your address to me at indymermaid(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll get your stamps to you!!

Adorable card!!! It reminds me of Holly Hobbie (am I dating myself by saying that??) Very pretty :)Amy
Oh Lisa! I LOVE this card! So Kate's ABC's is a Cricut Cart? I hadn't heard of it! Guess what? I ordered two stamp sets from Getting Cricky last night. The Pirate Talk and the Sympathy one (I seem to make an awful lot of sympathy cards..sigh) now I am seeing this set with the "miss you" stamp in it! I have been looking for a miss you stamp. As you know, my hubby is a traveling salesman and goes away for weeks at a time. I love to slip little "miss you" cards into his suitcase..oh well, I will have to save up my money for this stamp set!
Hugs!

Your card is GORGEOUS Lisa,I love it!AWESOME job as always my friend!!:)
I love that little girl too. She is so cute. I have to wonder if she'd be as cute holding a kindle. ;) I prefer paper too, but the wonderfulness of finishing a book and instantly being able to have access to another one is pretty amazing. I'll be quiet now. ;) Adorable card, Lisa!
Your card is soooo pretty.
Love this card Lisa!!! Fabulous job you did here!!! I just recently got this cartridge and really need to use it!!! Congrats to your winner too.

Congrats to the winner! Beautiful card, my friend! When I first saw what this challenge was, my first thought was Kate's ABC's! :o) I love the huge dimension on top.. and of course the sentiment! I love that the sentiment is multi-faceted... it works for reading, writing, and crafting. :o) Lovely papers, too! Excellent job, my sweet friend. :o)
