Hello and happy Friday! Tonight is book fair at my kids school, and I don't know if you remember bringing home a Scholastic handout filled with wonderful books for sale, and going to the fairs and spending your last pennies on a cool bookmark, but to this day, I LOVE going and seeing what is for sale.
Also today is
Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps.
And you can pick up this adorable Monkey with Hearts for free all week long. He looks like he's been caught in the act of stealing all the hearts.
I picked papers with a sewing theme since this is for the girls' Grandmother who is an excellent quilter.
Hopefully the papers aren't too busy. I feel like my little guy is a little lost in the background. But I did pop him up to hopefully bring him more forward. Added a few sequins and popped up a little star. The sentiment is computer generated. That's about it.
So pick up your freebie this week! Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
This meets the following challenges:
CRAFT Challenge: Love/Valentine,
Cute Card Thursday: Anything Goes,
Simon Says Stamp: With Love, and
Watercooler Wednesday: Feminine.
A beautiful card. Lovely papers and an adorable little mouse. Thanks for joining our challenge at Cute card Thursday. Marlies
ReplyDeleteI love book fairs of any kind. I do warmly remember Scholastic book fairs, but library book fairs, stores that sell old books, anything like that will do!
ReplyDeleteYour card is completely adorable. The monkey stands out just fine and the papers are perfect for your girls' grandma!

ReplyDeleteLola, your monkey is just adorable. LOVE your coloring as usual. Hope you had fun at the bookfair.
ReplyDeleteThis monkey's face just cracks me up!! Really adorable card! Love your layout with the papers and your coloring is fabulous too! Yes! I remember back in the day taking the boys to the book fairs! Always loved buying the books for them and glad they were happy to read them too! I miss those long gone days! Enjoy! HUGS
ReplyDeleteOh Lola, your coloring! I could just stare at this all day - the paper in the background is just so fabulous, too! What a cutie!!
ReplyDeleteHave always loved the monkey. I missed the Freebie Friday, but I may have it if it's an oldie but goodies. That image could me used anytime and not just Valentines. I LOVED the Scholastic magazine time to buy and yes, I would spend the money. Gosh, forgot all about that until you mentioned.
