The Library Challenge - Mary Poppins

At The Library, the book is Mary Poppins by PL Travers. 

Mary Poppins was one of my favourite books as a child and I read all the (many) sequels too - Mary Poppins in the Park is one I remember. I also loved the film - still do! - although I haven't seen the recent film yet.  (I do remember the Mary of the book seeming a little less sweet than the movie version). 

For my first card I made a colourful background using Distress Inks. I stamped the row of houses twice and cut Mary's silhouette using a free SVG file. 

I'd like to enter:

For my second card I just chose one element of the story and cover - Mary's umbrella. I used a MFT stamp, coloured with Promarkers and paper-pieced, and an Avery Elle sentiment and banner. 

I'd like to enter:

I hope you'll join in the challenge at The Library.

    I am new to challenges. As a former librarian, I don't think I could find a more perfect challenge. I have a few questions.
    Where and how do I post my entry?
    How many cards can I enter?
    When is the "due date" for my finished project?
    Thank-you so much

    I love your Mary Poppins card, brought back lovely memories of seeing the original film as a child. We've seen the new film too, although not quite so magical as seeing Mary Poppins as a child. Your second card is super too, I love the paper piecing. xx

    Both fabulous cards, love the first one as it is traditional Mary Poppins and the second is so adorable. I am now itching to watch the movie, it has been many years.
