Pop up Book Card

The above card is my first try at doing at pop up Book card.  I found the tutorial to make this card  here

I LOVE to read... In four years I have read over 300 books.  I buy most of my books at used book stores.  I am on a first name basis with one of  the book store owners, and a friend on Facebook with her.

So I wanted to make her a special card which I hope to give her tomorrow at her book store.

I don't think she has the link to my blog, so I don't think she will see this ahead of time.

I wanted to make her a card with  a BOOK theme, and use a book that is one of my favorite Christmas books.  The book was a gift to me from my sister-in-law, and it is author signed.

I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do the cover and I was running out of time to get my card done (so I could give it to her before Christmas) so I just scanned part of the front cover of the book.  Since it's NOT a card I'm going to sell, I hope I did not break any copyrite rules.  I'm always so aware of that...

Hope everyone is pretty much ready for Christmas...I'm almost there...

Kaiser Craft card

To take a break from making Christmas cards...I grabbed one of my favorite papers...Kaiser Craft and made a needed Birthday card.  My Christmas cards are mostly finished and mostly in the mail.  (Still need some addresses).  This year it was a record for me to get my cards done so early and have them in the mail so early.  However, My tree is not up yet...  (which takes me about an hour at the very most to put up)  It's just a tiny tree which already has the lights on it,  and NO Christmas shopping done yet.  Since my family is kind of small and I mostly give gift cards it won't take too long to finish my shopping.   Hope everything is going smoothly for the rest of you.
