All About You: Books

Hello, Addie here with this month’s All About You Challenge. This month’s theme is, “Books.” Let the challenge take you where it may….

Some ideas:

  • Your favorite book(s) of all time.
  • Recent reads.
  • Books you loved reading to your children.
  • Your favorite books as a child.
  • Your favorite genre of literature.
  • Are you in a book club?
  • Kindle versus paper versus audiobook- which do you prefer?
  • Why reading isn’t your thing, but that you love something else instead?

Katie has generously provided a freebie with some awesome goodies to help inspire you! You can download the freebies here: FREEBIE.

As always, the team was a huge help in creating amazing pages! First up, Shannon (shannonroller), made this brilliant page documenting her love of book series when she was younger. She loved to go to the library when growing up and read a lot of books about nursing! So cool!

Next, Lynn (grandma lynnie) told a story about her childhood visits to the doctor for tonsillitis and a very special book during those times. This book has remained a favorite over the years that she has shared with many children! I am so thrilled that she took the time to document this special story on her lovely page!

Supplies Lynn used: Attic Treasures Paper Pack and Paint, Newsprint Overlays 01, Clipped Journalers Layers, Epoxy Dot Essentials Stamp Sets Vol 2 Books, and Looping Heart Stamp Pack.

I can’t wait to see pages about books! I still need to tell my story about books–I have so many ideas and don’t know which to choose!

Happy scrapping! – Addie (agoymerac)
