There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and it comes to us via our creative card-making friend in Nebraska, Judy Rozema. Take a look at her sketch:

This sketch had me stumped! I ended up taking some creative liberties, but hopefully the sketch is still evident when looking at my card.

I’ve been wanting to use the new For the Books stamp set, and thought I could make the three scalloped lines in the sketch be book shelves. Upon finishing the card, I realized I didn’t address the change between the top half of the sketch and the bottom. Sigh…

I cut thin strips of Pecan Pie card stock for the shelves, and then stamped and colored the books.

I don’t give many books a five-star review. Looking back through recent books I’ve read, I’d say Babylonia by Costanza Casati and Eleanore of Avignon by Elizabeth DeLozier were both five-star worthy books. I love historical fiction. Do you have any recent five-star worthy books you could recommend? If so, I’d love to hear what they are!

I would also love it if you would join us and create your own card using the sketch for the week and add it to the gallery. Be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration!

Enjoy your Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
