The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time.....

Hello all!
Back with my DT card for the current Octopode Factory challenge which is to get your inspiration from books.  I've always loved books and have been an avid reader from a very early age - I do have a Kindle which is great for travelling but you can't beat having a real book in your hands. 

        For my card, I decided to use the Octopode Dormouse from the Alice in Wonderland collection, available here.  As I have said before this is my favourite Octopode digi :)  I wanted an old fashioned feel for this card so I used a clipart image of a pile of books and smudged some Distress ink all around the edges.

 

The sentiment is computer generated and does reflect how I feel about reading!  So many wonderful books and authors out there - sometimes I can get lost in a book for hours (especially if the sun is shining and I can sit outside and read).

 



 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges -

Hello all!
Back for the second time today - a twofer!!  I needed to get this card posted as I want to put it in for the Teddy Bo challenge which ends later on today.  It's a 'distressed' challenge so I used lots of inks to grunge it up a bit and kept the colours on the digi to greys (apart from their pink noses!).

      I added a bit of background interest with some strips of crafting tape - not sure if the name 'washi' tape only applies to a certain type or make but this stuff, from Michaels, is ideal for me as you can easily remove it if you change your mind.  The ticket is one of mine and the diamante heart was in my stash; I have no idea where it came from.....

I think this is such a cute digi - one of my many Teddy Bo favourites!

I would also like to put this in for these challenges - http://pinkgemchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ (animals or teddies)http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/group/cmccopicchallengegroup (black/ dk. greys)
