Happy Thursday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great week :) I have a card to enter into a couple of challenges today. The first is Cooking With Cricut and the challenge is Dr. Seuss or a reading themed project. I sadly have nothing Dr. Seuss-related so I went for a reading theme. The second is Frosted Designs and the challenge is to use numbers.
I couldn't wait to use my new Spellbinders Book Pages dies that I won from Shirl at Creations By Shirl!! I absolutely love them...thanks again, Shirl!! The red, white and black paper is from The Paper Studio and the pretty flowered paper is from DCWV...I picked it up as an individual sheet and I wish I had grabbed a few more. It's thick and has a nice texture and the design is so beautiful :) I stitched it to the red cardstock. The clock is a Tim Holtz die and I cut the girl reading a book from A Child's Year three times and attached each layer with foam tape for dimension. (Hum...I used Cricut, Spellbinders and Tim Holtz dies on this card...I should have pulled out a Sizzex die and covered all the bases ;)
I cut "time2read" from Base Camp, and welded the letters together with my Gypsy. I attached the words with foam tape and added a double layer under the "2".
I've used this stamp before on a card about reading...I think it is the perfect sentiment for books since they are made from lots of paper :) It's from K Andrew Designs Crafty Friends stamp set:

The border along the bottom is a Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents die and I added rhinestones, ribbon and a button from my stash.
My blogaversary is only five days away, so be sure you stop back by...I will have candy!! Have a great day :)

My sweet friend, this is truly fantastic! I love the purpose of it, as reading is essential. The black clock is amazing as the only dark element..and that paper is exquisite! I keep staring at it. :o) I love the beautiful silhouette and that sentiment is one of my favorites! It works for reading, writing, AND paper crafting. :o) Stunning work as always. And that border die you used? I love it because it makes me think of of white chocolate Hugs on top. ;) Pure excellence, my talented friend!
Hugs and blessings!

Great job with your entry!
love the color you worked in...such a pretty card. wouldn't a Dr. Seuss cart be awesome though?!
Like your reading creation. I like to read. My daughter likes to read and boy can she read fast & comprehend. She reads a Harry Potter size book in 1 day. She took quite a few pleasure reading books with her to college & rereads them.

I love the way you put two challenges together, I just used this cut on gift card holder with a Barnes & Noble card in it. I love the dimension 3 layers adds.
Lisa, this card is gorgeous!!!
Lisa ~ Your card is so wonderful. I love how it shows the girl just lost in time reading. You can just picture the story coming to life as she reads.
Hugs,
Cindy
