I wish I had more time to craft and visit around blogland than I do at the moment.
I love reading books, but haven't had much time for that either, so I've started to listen to books instead. It can easily be combined with cardmaking, and I save myself some time and can do two things I love at the same time! Yay!
About my card: For the flowers I used pages from a paperback book I really didn't like - normally I keep all books I read but this one I did not care for to take up space in my bookshelf. So I gave it a new pupose by using some of the pages for my Altenew and Prima flowers. Leaves are Altenew and stamped onto a green DP. Sentiment was a recent freebie with a magazine. 2 DPs were used as well as a striped sticker border. I quite like the style, it's not typical for me. A sketch was used as inspiration for the layout, as is often the case, and I wanted to celebrate Allsorts' birthday as well.
This card is for:
The Paper Players - #592 Sketch
Allsorts - #677 Anything For A Birthday

A fabulous idea to stamp your flowers on an unloved book page,the script adds interest and depth,beautiful papers and layout too
E-book readers are so useful to read with the ears and do other things in the some time! Great use of the old book page, these flowers look so pretty. Lovely take of the sketch and sweet card!
Beautiful card and love the flowers stamped on the book pages.I have got back into reading every night when I go to bed and get books from the ;local charity shop then when I have read them take them back for them to sell on again
