Reminder from The Library - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Here's a little reminder from The Library - but your books aren't overdue and there'll certainly be no fines! 

It's just a reminder to join in the current challenge - 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo '  - which runs till 9th Feb. 

I made another card for this theme - this time I was inspired by the red on the cover and the word 'tattoo'. 

More details on my blog.

Librarian's Choice - Anthology

I deserve to be fined for my late return with the Librarian's Choice. It's just that there were so many great entries it was hard to make a decision. 

In the end I chose three entries that made great interpretations of three different books:

Ishani with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings:

DJ with Plenty More :

Glenda with Memoirs of a Geisha:

It's just a reminder to join in the current challenge - 'Absolute Beginners '  - which runs till 26th January.

I made another card for this theme. It's a 'new puppy' card and I was inspired by the colours and brick pattern on the cover and by the title - a puppy is a 'beginner', surely?

The story

This time our book is Absolute Beginners by Colin Macinnes. 

This book is about teenagers in London in the late 50s/ early 60s and the 'mod' subculture. It was also made into a film in the 80s and David Bowie sang the theme tune. 

If you're not inspired by that yellow scooter on the cover, or the 60s vibe, you could just use the title... anything to do with new beginnings - new baby, job, home......

This challenge will close on 26th January. 

Challenge 23 (Anthology - Pick any previous book) will remain open for another week.

I hope you'll join The Library.

A final reminder from The Library - but your books aren't overdue and there'll certainly be no fines! 

Although a new challenge starts tomorrow, the Anthology challenge will stay open for another week. I hope you'll find time to enter. The challenge is to be inspired by any book (title , story or cover) featured in 2018. The whole list is here. 

For my card today I was inspired by the cover of Plenty More, which is a cook book:

As well as entering the Anthology challenge, I hope you'll come back here tomorrow to see the new challenge , which will be great for total newbies (and that's a clue to the title...) 

Librarian's Choice - The Snowman

I'm 'walking on the air' after seeing the fabulous entries into The Snowman Challenge!

Robyn used drawing and stamping partial images to cleverly create her Snowman scene: 

Sherri had a big crowd of snowmen , each with their own personality:

Alicia made a cute 3d snowman to stand on her desk:
