Surround Yourself With Literature

The challenge at Path of Positivity has reached the midway point. This month we have been thinking about literature and what books mean to us. With me being a librarian and teacher in my working life and married to a vicar you can imagine the number of books we had around the place. Since moving out of the vicarage into our much smaller home we have had to have a cull in order to get everything in. My cull has been somewhat more successful than my husbands!

The image I chose to work with for my project reflects my feelings about a select number of books that I have read again and again. I have already talked about my love for the classics especially Jane Eyre and A Christmas Carol, the latter being an annual read. I have also read Les Miserables more than once and Don Quixote! They are like friends, reliable not to change and always a joy to revisit.


Materials used:Sparkle N Sprinkle - Nasturium Digi Stamp Set
X-Press It card
green and orange card
15cm square card blank
Copic pens
fancy frame die

The sentiment and the flower border are arranged on the page before printing onto the X-Press It card and a second larger panel has been printed which is where the large flower in the top left corner came from.  All colouring is with Copic pens.

Do you have a favourite book or have you been inspired by particular books. It would be lovely if you felt able to make a project to share with us at Path of Positivity and you may even win a prize! All the details of how to enter and the prizes on offer can be found on the Path of Positivity Blog. You do not have to follow the theme, it is optional, but there are more benefits for doing so!
