Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends! May your taste buds tingle for all your favorite dishes to celebrate. Thanks, Kia for bringing us a beloved author and her heritage as inspiration this week. I would love to visit all the special places that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery.
I had to check out the Anne of Green Gables Museum first thing...and it didn't take long to discover Anne's Enchanted Bookcase. *love*. You'll have to scroll down the page, it is the third picture from left. Sorry.
My card is a Pinwheel Fold (TLC864). So fun, so easy, so much territory to 'decorate', give it a swirl! I am inviting you into the library with my view. A cozy reading chair (Katzelkraft), the library stacks wall (Club Scrap), and the beautiful hands (gift from Polly). I stamped a segment of the library wall onto the next page so I could place the hands holding the book "Thrown upon her own resources...or what girls can do". Behind the left hand is a lovely Victorian floral wallpaper print that was embossed with a leaf pattern.
This is going to a dear young woman, so smart, so focused, the sky's the limit on her future...I think she'll be inspired. And I might just have to introduce her to Anne of Green Gables...you're never to old.
Thanks for stopping by my library. What was your favorite girlhood book?

This is fabulous, Susan! Never tried that fold but you sure used to your advantage. I grew up loving to read..my favorites were Jules Verne & Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Cool card! My favorite girlhood book was Harriet the Spy. But I am on the third Anne of Green Gables book now, after watching Anne with an E. I fact, I was just about to listen to another chapter before bed when I got distracted looking up card techniques and found your card!
