In Rosie's Book: Card Art with Copics: Sweet Pea Stamps Elisabeth Bell's Kiki with Dolly

Why Rosie's Book?

While growing up, I had a dear friend, Renee, that lived next door and with whom I spent much of my childhood. We grew, in different directions, and went on our merry way. Many years later, I ran into her parents and they kindly reminded me of the laughs they still have over my book. “What book?” I wondered with a puzzled look. "I don't remember a book." Hardy laughter accompanied their response. At some time during our childhood, I tried to convince Renee about something that her parents didn’t agree with. I told her that proof of its truth could be found “in my book.” Naturally she went home and tried to convince her parents of the same thing but they weren’t falling for it. She needed an edge and told them emphatically, “It’s in Rosie’s book!” After they caught their breaths from reborn laughter, they let me know how “Rosie’s book” has been cited for many other things throughout the years. They’ve also mentioned that they’d like to see “Rosie’s book” one day. I can’t remember all of the things that I said were in “my book” but I’m sure my dear friend’s parents can recall much more than I ever knew about – LOL!!! So, here it is . . . my version of things you might find In Rosie’s Book . . .

Shaped cards can be fun to plan and put together and some of the large dies make it very easy. I've used dies from the Letterpress (formerly QuicKutz) Nesting Scallop and Nesting Circles sets to quickly create this round shaped card.

This super cute Kiki with Dolly rubberstamped image is designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.
