DC someone or something you love

Hello, lovely readers! I wish you a great Friday and a happy Valetine’s Day. This week the Daring Cardmakers have a great challenge for you.

Dawn wants you to make cards for the following topic:

Someone or Something You Love

I want you to feature something on your creations that you LOVE.

Besides my favourite beloved people, one of my biggest loves is reading … and books in general.

I also love crafting and I found the ultimate way for me to combine my two most favourite hobbies: creating bookmarks. (So no cards here this week...)

With my banner dies that’s super quick and easy.

And a great way to use up paper scraps or paper pads.

And a great way to practise handlettering.

A few years ago I thought about ways of making more time for reading … and I found the best way for myself: I stopped watching TV in the evening and read a book instead. In 2019 I read 60 books 😊.

To make progress in my „magic cleaning“ journey as well, I borrow nearly all the books I read from our local library (or friends). So our book cases aren’t overflowing.

I think it’s always cute to create a matching bookmark for your cards and give it away as a little set. I always keep in my mind that my bookmark shouldn’t be longer than a standard sized envelope.
