One for the books

I loved books when I was a kid and it

followed me into adulthood so

when I got this from Studio Calico couldn't 

help but use it.

Love switching off to the 6x12 size.

(I wanna try 9x12 but need to find page protectors)

 Of course I cut the big tag into the books and title.

I love the owl peekin' out.

Wise ole owl.

 When I was in HL the other day Tim Holtz had these

bottlecaps. I KNOW! 

I love bottlecaps and you'll be seeing a lot of them.

ALOT.

What does it have to do with books?

It matches LOL.

But of course Sam loves books.

His mom is a librarian.

Studio Calico, Tim Holtz

Color blocking sort of

I used Basic Grey patterned paper I got in my warehouse box

and wa-la there was a 6x6 paper pack too.

So I ripped out 2 papers and blocked them in opposite corners.

I really worked at the layering using some

of the basic grey stickers from the pack and really old tags.

Also, Studio Calico stamp, sticker and wood veneers.

As you may or may not know I love books. 

I inhale them.

I adore them

 I respect them 

and keep them looking good.

So imagine your surprise when I tell you that I ripped 

that page out of an old dictionary

GASP!

Even old books I really really have a hard time messing them up.

I really do. 

But I wanted a book page behind the photo

because it goes with mom - the librarian.

Along with the libary journal card.

And toddlers are so easy to please.

Looks like a tupperware container filled with water and ice.

Lou could go on for hours with this.

And who could resist Vanilla Ice's hit song.

NOT ME.
