It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I’m on the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0130 is International Children’s Book Day which is April 2nd.
International Children’s Book Day! What a great day to celebrate! I was a book worm growing up and I raised three book worms. I love reading and I love reading to kids. One of my favorite series for ages 9 and up is the Guardians of Gahoole series by Kathryn Lasky. These are fantasy books about a group of owls that will keep kids and adults coming back for more. Steve and I read to our kids every night before bed and it was hard for me to read only one chapter at a time of these books. They are not as scary as Harry Potter.
The Magic Tree House books were easy chapter books for the younger set. We really enjoyed these books too.
My list of favorite books for children is very long so I won’t share them all.
We donated a lot of our kid books, but I kept a couple hundred books to read to my future grandchildren. 🙂
I would love to hear about your favorite children’s books. Please leave me a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about International Children’s Book Day – at all! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free. It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!
From the Inspo List I used bright colors, patterned paper, animals.

Beth what an adorable card. I love how you use the bright colours. It is great hopping along with you
Oh my I just love this pink bunny Beth – I am a Brights girl at heart! I’m glad I’m not the only one who has stashed her kids’ favourite reads for her grandkids either!! I love to read – some of my favourite books for children incudes anything by Julia Donaldson – especially The Snail and the Whale, and Tiddler – the Junie B Jones series (you may be familiar with these- tge author is from tge USA) and the Geek Girl series by Holly Smale for older ones. I could go on!!
Beth, your little pink bunny is absolutely adorable! She just makes me smile. I love that you made her the focal point of your easel card. Fabulous take on the challenge words.
