Love to read


This card is for an order for one of my friend's granddaughters She like me, just loves to read, so I thought this image was just perfect. I have been resisting buying any new papers lately but as we all know resistance is futile when it comes to crafting and I gave in yesterday and bought 3 packs and just had to use some of them on this card. You won't be surprised to know the 3rd pack was purple.

I have a few cards I must get made this week so not much time for visiting I'm afraid. Don't forget you still have a week to enter the challenge at Kaboodle Doodle. Hope to see you there.
