It’s one of my most favorite things I chose to do when I decided to start taking time for myself rather than work all my waking hours. I have my favorites, like Susannah Kearsley and Louise Penny, but overall it’s just been so fun to explore so many stories.

And it looks like Laura has been having some fun reading this past year as well. Take a look at that stack! And this page is so bright and cheery. It definitely falls into the ‘make reading fun’ category. ;)

 

 

Hey everyone, it’s Laura here! I love having a wide variety of alphabet stamps to work into my projects, and I am excited to add all of Kerri’s new Max alphabet stamps into my mix. I used the Max alpha stamp set to create a title for my 6×8″ spread. 

I’ve never been great at lining up stamps all even and perfect, so I usually avoid stamping directly on the page when it comes to titles. I l like to either stamp each letter onto a small block of cardstock to use individually, or I will stamp each letter and fussy cut each one out to arrange individually – which is what I did for my title here. 

I used Kerri’s Outnumbered (One) stamp set, which coordinates perfectly with Max, to stamp the numbers for the year “2020”. I created a tag using the new Fill In The Blank set, stamping “29” (using the Brooklyn Etc stamp set) to represent the number of books that I read in 2020. I “hung” my tag from the top of the page with string, and embellished the page with a few stars.
