The Library Challenge GD!

My little Rupert card won me a Visiting Librarian spot at The Library Challenge - wooo hooo!  I was also invited to choose the book - how's that for an honor?! 


Since it's February, I thought this children's book about a crafty monster who makes a Valentine would be befitting...

I found a few perfect leaves from the EBE Mondo Hydrangea to arrange into a heart shape!
This little YNS Monster fit the bill - thanks, Bobby!


 He got a bit wrapped up in the fun, right? lol
My W&W panel was cut from an old planner page - never throw those away!  I stenciled a few W&W birch trees over it - Groggle had to find those leaves somewhere!


Marina, and I, would be thrilled to have you 'check out' our February pick, and craft along with Groggle!  Don't think we wouldn't be happy with any sort of card!  Hope to see you in The Library gallery - you have until February 22nd to play!

Genius...no other word for this card would apply. Brilliant use of color and those truly gorgeous leaves let alone the precious blue monster. Think you nailed this book cover down to the ground. Congrats on being the Librarian, as well.
