The Library Challenge #49 Anthology

The Note: The book everyone's talking about by [Folbigg, Zoë]




I may have mentioned I had one more card for The Library Challenge's Anthology - why not get those Valentine's started?  Here was my inspiration... 





I used a very old, much loved set from MFT, called London Mouse, to help me pull my card together.  I've added this book to my reading list - I'm totally intrigued to know what those 'three life-changing sentences' are!


My 'love note' is a tiny little thing which made hand-drawing those little figures into the vehicles even more challenging - but oh so fun!  The word note is stamped with a very old set called Sketchy Letters, from Mama Elephant - I still love them!
 Thanks for stopping by today... hope your Christmas was everything you hoped for!

    You have a stamp for everything, Michele. But knowing you have them and how to use them is the key to your genius.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, my friend! :-)

    How wonderful! This was one of my favourite book covers and you've done an amazing job, right down to the little figures in the vehicle. I must admit though, that I didn't love the book when I read it...but lots of people do, so maybe you'll be one of them!Thanks for joining The Library.
