Hi! My name is France and I'm a bookworm. No doubt there are a lot of other bookworms among our lovely Stampotiquers. I would like to know about your favorite books. So my challenge for you, should you accept it, is to create a piece, inspired by your favorite book. Let the story, the title, the cover, a quote inspire you! Now you might have a problem choosing your all time favorite book, don't worry, it's not like you are writing it in stone, just pick one. Or maybe your problem is that you don't like reading at all. Here is how to cheat: go for your favorite film based on a book, we won't tell ;)))Long before I ever read "The Notebook," I fell in love with a quote from the book. I was so impacted by this quote because I felt it perfectly described how my husband felt about his love for me. Although I believe both my former husbands loved me (each in his own way), no man, since my father, has loved me immeasurably, as Russ does. The quote reads...
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.While I do believe that Russ is, indeed, something very special, I used this quote when creating the scrapbook of our wedding photos. This month, we will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, although we have been together much longer than that. Here is the card I have created to give him tomorrow!
Thank you so much for visiting today. Please do leave a comment so that I will know you were here. I hope you will take some time this week to create something inspired by your favorite book. The directions and rules for submitting your work can be found here.
Cheers!
Very thoughtful card, Kay.
