Freshly Made Sketches: Valentine Bookshelf

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jacquie and here’s what I did with it!
 
Valentine for a Book Lover


I knew right away what I was doing with this sketch.  Papertrey Ink has an older series of "Storybook" stamps. I recently got all the holidays in the series as it became apparent that my two young nieces were taking their passion for reading into their teen years.  Not only do they love reading - but they love books!  Even old-fashioned me has moved to a Kindle.  Of course, it's mostly because it's lighter and easier to hold as I read - books are heavy!!  When I got the stamp sets, the "books" were bigger than I expected. Then I saw this sketch and knew that there was space for my Valentine bookshelf!

  2. This is super cute!!! I bought the Halloween (Potions) Storybook set to create some fun elements for a Harry Potter theme (to scrapbook those Universal Studios vacation pic's).

  3. This is a delightful card and sounds perfect for one of your nieces! Our granddaughter loves to read too! She's been known to be reading a book while walking into school in the morning with her mommy (she teachers at Sweet P's school)!!
