The wonderful and totally inspirational Amy Young emailed me a few weeks ago and asked me if I’d like to host a Club Anya Monday Mania challenge. Errr. Yessssss! Actually, joining in with the challenges at Club Anya is something I’ve intended to do for ages, so this was great fun for me!
I’m a complete bookworm, and aside from collecting all sorts of crafty stash, I collect books. Books inspire me, books make me happy, a good book helps to pick me up when I’m feeling down, helps to soothe me when I’m restless. That has been the case for as long as I can remember. So, with that in mind, the challenge I chose to set is simple – BE INSPIRED BY A BOOK!
Join in and submit your entry on the Club Anya blog and you could win a single The Greeting Farm stamp of your choice! Full details over on the Club Anya Monday Mania challenge post. I would be thrilled to see you all play along, so get those brains ticking and your stamps inky! You have until Saturday July 24th to get your pics uploaded to the TGF Galleria!
For my card I chose to use Spotlight Anya. Love her, and whenever I see her I think of a childhood favourite – Pollyanna. I guess the expression on Anya’s face just looks…so glad!! As a child I pretty much read Pollyanna until the book fell apart, and it’s a story I often think of fondly.
I used: TGF Spotlight Stamp Kit; Echo Park Sweet Summertime Collection Kit; Bow-Easy Bow Tying template; Doodlebug stickers.
Copics: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, R21, E50, E53, E34, B0000, B00, B91, B93, B95, B97
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you had a good weekend. Fingers crossed this week will be a better one for me!!

Hi Elaine – this is such a cute card and I’m always reminding my husband about Pollyanna! He hates it when I do that… but there is so much truth in her wisdom ;-D Thanks so much for picking my card as the winner – I’m so glad you liked it. I loved the challenge! But of course, I love books too. ;D
Love the color cobo and how you’ve carried the polka dot background into the headband. The Pollyanna books are a childhood favorite of mine. I kept all of them to give to my first granddaughter (but she turned goth princess and ended up not wanting them…sigh).
[…] (it really doesn’t seem like 5 years have gone by) and you can see the card I created then HERE. It’s fun to compare how different my colouring looks now and see the list of Copics I used […]
