Today is the 15th and this is my card this month for our The Creative Crew! We are a group of 7--Jeanette, Carol, Darlene, Lorraine, Terry, Tracie and me. Each month will be a new challenge posed by one of the members sending out a kit. This month, Tracie sent out a sweet image from Newton's Nook called Sips & Stories. She also sent a sentiment from the same set. Tracie also included some sweet patterned paper.
I colored the cute image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I die cut the image and blue backer from a Taylored Expressions die set called Inside Square Scalloped Stacklets. I picked the cute pastel striped paper for my background and the pastel hearts for a middle strip. The sentiment and backer was flagged with a banner punch. I added some blue enamel dots around the image. This was a very fun card to make!
I hope all of The Creative Crew Gals enjoy my card this month. Please be sure to stop in to see what fun crafty cards are posted this month. All of the blogs can be found on my left sidebar. Our teammate Lorraine does not have a blog, so please check out her card in her SCS gallery. I am sure you will enjoy all of the fun holiday cards!
Tracie also asked us what we are currently reading. I basically ready nonfiction and like political books. I read about 1/2 of Kamala's book The Truths We Hold on Libby, but did not finish it. It comes back to me in about 10 weeks--so it must be pretty popular. I also read From the Corner of the Oval by Beck Dorey-Stein--another good book. The best book I read so far this year was Liz Cheney's Oath and Honor--Outstanding Book! OK--off my soapbox!
We will be back in December with another challenge that Terry will sending out. Be sure to check in with us on the 15th to see what fun is planned!

Barb, what a fun card - I love the die you used with the image and its layer. You did a great job with Tracie's kit. That's some pretty heavy reading, too.
Such a cute card Barb. I love the books you have read. Will have to check them out.
Such a great layout on this! I really like how you can use the papers. Liz Cheney's book is on my short list!
