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 . . .

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge: Autumn Colors

The Digi Bells design team over at the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog wants to see your use of Autumn Colors.  A very lucky randomly selected entry will win TWO Elisabeth Bell digi images of their choice AND one of Elisabeth's Whimsy Stamps Cottage Cutie rubberstamps from Mikaelas Scrap In!  You can find out more about this challenge and sponsors here.

I've used this lovely digital image called Apple Bake designed by Elisabeth Bell.  You can find her at the Elisabeth Bell digital gallery here.

This pic shows a closer view of my Copic-filled image.





I've layered punched shapes from Punch Bunch punches to form my handmade chrysanthemums that surround the Inky Antics sentiment.  The flowers are lightly painted with Diamond Stickles for amazing shimmer.
 




Layers of Simple Stories Generations patterned paper with Bazzill cardstock form my card.  Vintage brass floral brads adorn each side of a layered border.  A couple of Cheery Lynn Designs die cut Mini Fanciful Flourishes provide some classy, leafy swirls.  Zva Creative rhinestone swirls add more sparkling movement.

Here's a view of the front of my completed side open card showing my use of Apple Bake, as designed by Elisabeth Bell, with Autumn Colors . . .



 
Here's a pic of the inside where I've added a QuicKutz diecut of a pie and have plenty of room to add a personal, handwritten note . . .
