CAS-ual Fridays #18
In honor of International Literacy Day on September 8th,
the Girl Fridays have a special challenge involving papercrafting and books.
CFC18: Create a Clean And Simple project inspired by a book, and use the colors black, white and red.
I am a school librarian and I love to be surrounded by books, to share them with my students, and to read the the little ones. My creation is inspired by the book The Littlest Christmas Tree : a Tale of Growing and Becoming by Janine Jasin. In this story, a small seedling pine wants very much to grow tall enough to become a real Christmas tree, but while she waits, she learns to appreciate the world around her and the value of being her very best right where she is planted. It's one of my favorites!

A colour themed challenge once more and this time it is:
METALLIC
Make CLEAN & SIMPLE cards with something that has a METALLIC finish to it... ink, embossing, card, charms, actual metal...
I have owned this Krylon Silver Leafing Pen for quite a while and never used it. This was my perfect opportunity to break it out. I used it to edge the while panel with the Christmas tree image on it. It is a beautiful silver finish. It does not show up well in the photos, but it is very bright and shiny.
Thank you for coming by. As always, I appreciate your wonderful comments so very much! Have a great week!

Hi Stephanie,
Gorgeous Christmas tree! You must have a steady hand to go around your card so neatly. I've tried this but never had any success. A really lovely card!
Wonderful card! I love the colours!

Hello, fellow New Jerseyian! Had to drop by and tell you what a fantastic card you've designed...that embossing is incredible and the splash is just perfect!
That is just way to funny! Love your card, it is just beautiful! I have to say this is one of my all time favorite stamps.
Love your tree, you have done a good job with the silver pen - a very steady hand!

Beautiful, Stephanie! I love all the embossing….especially on white card stock, but your inked black card stock looks super cool too.
Oh my! Those red rhinestones are just stunning with the black and white theme! I love the white ink highlighting those black textured flowers! Beautiful!
