Friends of Unity March Hop

 Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity March Blog Hop. This month the theme is a color challenge featuring black, white, and kraft. With so many choices to chose from, I opted for a clean and simple design with a simple sentiment that would make this something I could easily send to just about anyone who needs a pick me up.

My paid job is that of a small town librarian. I think I have shared that tidbit on more than one occasion. Can you say dream job? Needless to say stamps with books on them are some of my favorites, as books have always been an escape for me. Even now as the news brings us such tragedy, I can find an hour or so of escape into whatever world I chose to visit between the pages of my current book. 

 

Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see what they created with this color scheme:

 
Stamps:
Not the End of Your Story (Unity Stamp Company)

Paper:
Classic Kraft (Papertrey Ink)
True Black (Papertrey)

Ink:
Versamark

Accessories:
Sizzix Big Shot
Edge dies (Papertrey)
Alabaster embossing powder (Brutus Monroe)

  2. I love your card! This image is one I have admired for a long time and I love what you did with it. The scalloped edge is a nice contrast to the straight lines of the books. I love getting lost in a book and as my eyes are not as good, I have also been listening to audio books checked out from our library.
