Hello and thanks for stopping by! Today I am sharing a card I made that was inspired by the new challenge at the Alphabet Challenge. We are featuring the letter “L” this time, with a theme of “literature.” You can use that any way you want to come up with a card or project.
I recently got a new stamp set from Lawn Fawn called “Apple-solutely Awesome.” It made me think of the cover from a favorite book of mine and my daughters, The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. I also saw the challenge at Time Out #246, which had a quote that also went well with this book:
Joining in these additional challenges:
Little Red Wagon #721 – square or rectangle? I definitely prefer rectangle cards! Occasionally a design will just work better on a square, but that is not very often.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – “Stamp It”
Sisterhood of Crafters – Make a scene
Adorable and cute card, love it..
Thank you so much for joining in with our challenge at Little Red Wagon, hope you will play again..

Love this Melanie – just so sweet! I don’t know this book so need to check it out!
What a wonderful book-inspired card, the image of the little mouse is absolutely adorable. I like how happy it looks among all the apples, and the bright colours you used are perfect to illustrate the scene. I also like how you created the illusion of an opening by colouring the background in shape of an oval and placing the motif on top of it. Thanks for your great DT work.
Hugs, Veronika
This is so cute! I like your scene a lot.

Melanie, any homage to Shel is Top Drawer in my opinion, and the LF set is perfect for that book, well done! xoxo
OMG what a sweet scene Mel! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
