Challenge 6 - Plenty More (A Cook Book) - was a challenging challenge! The entries were beautiful and super-imaginative. I've decided to highlight one lovely card that picked up on the cooking theme and used it to make a card perfect for her loved one:

Librarian's Choice- Challenge 5 - 101 Dalmations

Thank you for the beautiful entries into this challenge. Each entry had something very special about it.( I've noticed some of them have already been deservedly 'top-picked' in other challenges they've combined with.) 

I've decided to highlight one card that I felt ticked a few boxes for this challenge - it has black on white spots, it has a dog, it even has (like the cover) some pink: 
Well done  Shirley Bee .I hope you will copy the badge (above) to your blog. 

Challenge 6 : Plenty More (A Cook Book) has one more week to run but I'll be back tomorrow with a book set on an English country estate.

Reminder from The Library (and a hint about challenge 7)

It's just a reminder to join in the current challenge - 'Plenty More'  - which runs till May 19th . As it's a cook book, you can take inspiration from the cover, or you could make a card / project about food and cooking.
