I rarely go anywhere without a book in my bag......and if I am headed to the airport there are usually two in my bag! But if I am headed to a place like this scene on my card I pack a whole separate bag just for books.....the perfect vacation!
Even Benny loves a good book!

There's no better place to read than on the beach! I do the same thing and take a bag full of books along whenever we go to the beach. Your beach scene has me longing for waves! It looks like the perfect spot to read.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card, Linda! I love the way you've layered the panels - brilliant! Such a fun combination of sets to create the exact scene you wanted to create. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this card! What a fabulous scene! I want to go there right now and read the big stack of books on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Perfect spot to sit and read a few good books. Great design and perfect colors. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the palm tree technique. This is a lazy day summer type of card. Super job!
ReplyDeleteLove the scene of course, I'm a beach girl, but the sentiment sounds perfect. Wonderful card Linda.
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on the sketch, Linda! I love the raised panel and your two-toned stamping on the palm tree is stunning!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you're such an avid reader :)
Fun card! What I wouldn't give to be sitting on that beach chair right about now! I love how you popped up the scene on this!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing card Linda! I'm dreaming that I'm there in that chair right now!!! Just love it!
ReplyDeleteLinda we just arrived home from our Spring break... you'd think it would be warm and toasty in North Carolina, right? WRONG! Needless to say, there was a bit of reading - which is great for me, too!
ReplyDeleteLOve your darling reading nook, and this sweet little pile of books!

Great scene card and what a great idea to have the images across both panels - it adds so much interest. And I am 100% in favour of that sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree - an entire bag is required. You can't run out and you have to be sure you have the right for the mood!! Benny's book was one of my kid's favorites too!!
