it's the turn of Team B once again at
it's the turn of Team B once again at
our lovely boss Hazel is hosting this week and has chosen a fab theme! :-))
'Let's Get Reading'
We would like your creation to be Inspired by a book or to have a page of a book on it.
I recently read all nine of the Little House Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder... and Wow! how I loved them. So my card today is inspired by them.
I did get one of the books out of the library when I was a young teenager but I didn't like it back then... guess I wasn't mature enough, or I expected it to be exactly the same as on TV which it wasn't. They sure went through some tough times, especially in the long winters... and reading about it really brought home to me how 'comfy' our lives are nowadays in comparison.
I am usually a really slow reader, but got through these books in couple of months... couldn't put them down... SO interesting and beautifully written. I love the TV series too and watch the Box Set over and over. Recently my daughter bought me the book Laura's Album which is a Scrapbook style book of her life ... lots of photos of Lauras family and Memorobilia... would highly recommend if you are a fan of Little House! :-)
This Sarah Kay image always reminds me of Laura Ingalls and I thought the papers worked well with the image and theme.

Hi Sue.....hope you're well. Gorgeous card, that image is SO little house on the prairie and oh, how I loved that programme! Not read the books though, think maybe I will have to.

Beautiful card Sue, exactly right for your chosen book. Love your colouring the pinks and green are great together and go so well with your papers, the patch work effect of the top one reminds me of a quilt. Hope you are keeping better Hugs Meg xx

What a sweet image this is, and so beautifully colored. Lovely choice of papers too,reminds me of a quilt, and the colors go so well with the image.
I've read a lot of the books too, as a child. Back then I enjoyed reading much more than watching tv and my parents encouraged my reading too. My father used to take me to the library once a week so I could get new books. I could read a book a day!
This is gorgeous Sue!! I love that image and it's colored beautifully, fabulous polka-dots too! I loved the TV series!! I hope you are doing well.
Big hugs, Tammy
Awww Sue this is so gorgeous - the image is adorable and the patchwork and gingham DP's are just perfect.

I loved the Little House books - thank you for reminding me of them! I think your paper choices are perfect for the theme and book. And as always, your colouring details are incredible x Jessie
I'm a huge Little House fan too, have read one of the books, watched the series as I grew up and now have the box sets! They don't make programs like that any more! That and The Waltons, wholesome family viewing! Love your card Sue, a perfect little Laura and lovely patchwork paper too, something Laura would have had, but not Nelly! Jx
Fabulous Sue. Loved those books as a child but wasn't allowed to watch it on TV as my Dad said it was rubbish!!

This is so beautiful Sue
Have a lovely evening

This is just adorable, Sue, such a sweet image, and your papers match so beautifully.
I absolutely LOVE Laura Ingalls Wilder's books! She was just as kind in real life: my cousin wrote to her asking about a particular recipe, and Laura not only sent the recipe, she also gave some background about where it originated! I think it was for a pickle, but don't quote me!!
love Mags B x
