This is a birthday card I've made for a book-loving friend, but it could also represent a new hobby for me in 2024. A few weeks ago I was trying to find a real-life (as in, not online!) book club in my local area and I couldn't find one that met outside working hours... but I did make contact with another local woman who was interested too and we have set up one ourselves! We had our first meeting on 22nd December to choose a book and so, hopefully this will be a fun activity for me in the coming year.
Anyway, my card...it's a z-fold (I think it's called that). I stamped the book shop and the book cart (Purple Onion - new stamp! ) and the ground (MFT) and coloured them with markers. The woman is from Stamping Bella and I paper-pieced her scarf and coloured her with markers.
I'd like to enter:

Good luck with your bookclub, I'm sure word will spread and you will have more members in no time. Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my AJ page this morning and so pleased it had a meaning for you L x
This is super cute Marina! You are such a pro in paper piecing, I should remember that technique, it's just so pretty and fun! Congrats on your book club, I once took part in one (in a town where I used to live) and it sure was fun and helped me in finding new good books to read. xxx Oh and thank you for joining our challenge at Time Out!
A fabulous creation and I am sure your friend will love it! And thank you so much for playing along at I spy with my little eye!

Fabulous card, like your fold and awesome images! Enjoy the book club!
Marina, your book-themed card is absolutely awesome! Love the book shop and your pretty girl, complete with her wonderful paper-pieced scarf! You friend will be thrilled with this!
Great to hear you've found a book club friend in your area. What's on your reading list? I'm currently enjoying cozy mysteries with, if you can believe it, Christmas-type themes. Not exactly 'intellectual' but fun!

Beautiful job of coloring and paper piecing the images, Marina. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Time Out. Good luck on your book club adventure.
Great concept for a card Marina, and beautifully executed. Good luck with the book club - I know what you mean, i tired to find one near me and was struggling! Thanks so much for joining in this month at I Spy Challenge "Something Old and/or Something New" theme.
