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. </p><p>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. </p><p>I'd like to enter:</p><p><a href="https://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Little Red Wagon </a> new</p><p><a href="https://www.simplyellibelle.com/search/label/I%20spy%20with%20my%20little%20eye" target="_blank">I Spy with my Little Eye</a> something old (Stamping Bella stamp)/ something new (Purple Onion stamp)</p><p><a href="https://kraftychickschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Krafty Chicks </a> stamps </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
