My bloggy friend Julie is the Visiting Librarian at The Library Challenge #45 … she has chosen this book by Dave Barry, and I have chosen to turn it into a Christmas card depicting
the best trip to the tree farm ever!!
Using the Cool Christmas set of stamps and dies, from MFT,
I was inspired by:
- The sky, and skyline
- the yellow bus full of people
- the statues turned trees
Ready to see?
and here's a look at the Copics I used to color it!
Hope the librarians like it!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a crowd pleaser of a card, Michele! Love the idea of switching it up. Such a fun image. I adore your attention to detail. The neat and festive "road!" The snowflake pattern paper sky. You blow me away time and again. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful skyline, Michele! I love how it blends into the distance in a snowy haze! The yellow car full of happy snow people has the feeling of movement and reminds me of our yellow Volkswagon Squareback full of kids. A super fun card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, you are such a clever, clever woman Michele! I so love your take on the book, too cute and perfect. The yellow car full of snowmen crack me up, love their Christmas tree on top of the car-looks like they picked a good one. lol Love your beautiful skyline, the cityscape in the distance and the trees. This card is just way to cute!!! Sentiment is so true. Hugs, Brenda
