Good Books

Photo Details

Poster: Houseofcards-AZ

Just had to create a book card for the Education Theme today. I cut the one girl away from the chair that she is sitting in to make more room in the card. It's always fun picking out wallpaper especially when you don't have to hang it but can simply glue it. All stamps are from HB except for the shelf with the books.

I remember sitting around with my friends all summer vacation reading. Something the more recent generations don't do as much I imagine. What a lovely scene you have crafted. I love the cat on the bookshelf!

Such a charming reading nook scene with so many thoughtful details. The way you rearranged the girl to open up the space works beautifully, and the patterned wallpaper adds such a cozy, lived‑in feel. The mix of stamp sets blends seamlessly, and that little cat perched on the shelf is the perfect finishing touch.

Charlene, what a beautiful sentiment and it is so very true. I love the die cuts of children together reading with the wallpaper BG. My mother use to tell me reading a good book is like having a good friend.

Super cute! I had a crafty day at a friend's house with some crafty buddies. It was a lot of fun. This actually reminds me of her decor. Love!
