Anyone is welcome to play in the weekly Teapot Challenge - the more, the merrier! You automatically become a �TEApotter� the first time you play. Where will you find inspiration? Will it be from the teapot or from the challenge theme itself? Remember, your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not a requirement. Just have fun!
It's the last Tuesday of the month, so it's Tickle a Teapotter time once again, and this month I'm hosting this challenge.
Challenge:
Summer is finished, Autumn has started and what's more relaxing than reading a good book and drinking a cup of tea? What's your favorite book? I love to read a good novel but I like to take a book plenty of pictures too, a book about nature or cooking book. Show me what you like to read or use my book card tutorial to make a card looking like a book. You'll find the PDF by the thumbnails!! I know it isn't easy to send but not impossible. Just have fun by creating your card for a Teapotter Friend with or without the tutorial and if you need help to make your book card don't hesitate to ask me.
DESTINATION STATION: This week our destination is each other! Once a month, we send our cards to each other!
Check out THIS NEW THREAD in the TEApot Tuesday Extras Forum. If you are participating in the card exchange please go to this thread and follow the instructions. Make sure to sign up by bedtime on Saturday 29th.

Thanks for a fabulous tutorial Snietje. My card is based on the teapot teaser photograph (which was amazing), but I'm sure looking forward to trying your technique on the weekend.
I had such fun trying your tutorial, Anita. In fact I made two cards using it...and another one usingthe pop-up book card tutorial which will be the card I send as a tickle. I'll be back with that one after work, but here's the one using your tutorial.
I like cookery books, crime and detection (especially Golden Age), and love the Discworld books which always make me laugh. Currently reading Pawtracks in the Moonlight, about a rescued kitten. Just finished Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont, very moving.
I made already some you've seen in the tutorial for baby cards or Fall, here's one for Christmas, just to show you it can be easy without coloring or embellishments
Anita, thanks for the awesome tutorial! I am printing it out and hope to give it a try soon! I probably won't have it done in time to share with a fellow teapotter this week, but am still thinking I will participate in the fun!
Hugs,
C

And because it's not in the gallery yet and I don't want to overload it, here's the one I made for my niece using Anita's tutorial. I had to send my brother some legal documents by registered mail, so I was able to send this in the same package at no extra cost , and with a bar of lovely hand-made soap tucked inside. It's a great format for including a little gift. My niece said it was the nicest card she'd ever got.
I forgot to sign up again, so I�ll use the card I�m planning to make to a RAK member. I missed last week�s challenge so I�m sending a card from my stash.

Thanks for the book card instructions Anita. This is the first time I've seen this. It took me all afternoon to make my book card, but I loved it! This is also my first Teapot Tuesday Challenge.
I have 3 images of my book card. The pictures are a little dark. Happy Birthday Squirrels!
First time as a Tea Potter - and hopefully my card will make someone else happy as well. I enjoyed using different brain cells to create my Best Book Ever card.

Welcome to the Tea party!! I hope you had fun to make your card I'll go to see it right now!!
Anita I love this challenge!! My favorite thing to do is read, and I love reading the Annie's Mysteries Series. I have 7 series so far, and reading new ones on three of them. They are Christian based, so there is no foul language or sexual contents in it. This one I have on my card is part of the first series I bought. Annie's Attic Mysteries, and I cut out 5 of the 30 books in this series on to my card. It also has a lot of quilting, crocheting, knitting features in it as well, so that is why I placed it on a quilt. These books are really good books, I can't put them down once I start reading them. I also have my neighbor hooked on them as well. Giggles!!

I couldn't see how this would work, so I did a mock up. Such a clever design and wonderful tutorial! I am not going to be able to play this week but wanted to thank you for such a fun idea and great cards!
Thanks Anita for the excellent challenge. I look forward to using your tutorial in the future when things have calmed down. I have spent the last seventeen days at my husband's hospital bedside. He's doing better so he gave me the morning off for myself. What's better than stamping?! I will comment as I can.
thank you Anita yes for the neat challenge idea. Your book idea looks great will have to try that sometime, too tied these last couple days. Here is EEyore coming to join in on the fun.

Playing challenge catch from September 2018! Anita wanted us to choose our favorite book and show it in our card somehow.
One of my favorite authors is Kristin Hannah, who lives in my neighborhood...the Pacific Northwest. All of her novels have been set in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. One of my favorites is "The Nightingale" set in Paris and Washington. Check it out on the web.
