Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT610

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 that means it's time for our Teapot Tuesday Tickle Challenge

This week's challenge is brought to you by guest hostess

CHALLENGE:
Apart from card making I also love reading books, my favourite genre being historical fiction. So my challenge is to make a card inspired by the cover of a book you have just read or are about to read, as in my case. It can be the layout of the cover, the colours or the artwork that inspires you. Don’t forget to mention what book you chose to use for your inspiration.

SEND CARDS TO: 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 4th April 2020. Your destination recipient will be PM'd to you.

Sue's card:. MMTPT610 The Lace Weaver

What a fun challenge, Sue! This one will require some discernment. Sooooo many books!

This was actually a HARD challenge for me - I was for all my life a voracious reader. That is until my eyesight went all wonky from a macular hole - now trying to read a novel is virtually impossible so I gave away my accumulation of books. I did keep ONE that was super special to me called "A Cowboy Christmas"

Enjoy the Ride!

I chose a book which I was reading at the time Sue sent me the challenge - a memoir written by a librarian in a prison, called Reading Behind Bars. As I usually have several books on the go, book inspiration wouldn't be a problem - book covers was harder!

This is the cover of Reading Behind Bars

and you will see that I used the pile of books (got at least two stamps with piles of books) as my inspiration.
MMTPT610 Books Behind Bars

It was a most interesting book, too.

Thanks, Sue.

Oh, what a wonderful challenge this is. I need to think about this one too. ~Karen.

I'm currently reading: Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson. Wonderful book, if a bit tedious and dry.

My card: Blue & Grey by NerdyBeth - at Splitcoaststampers

I am currently reading "Trouble in Nuala ( The Inspector de Silva Mysteries)" by Harriet Steel. It is about a murder that occurs on a tea plantation in Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka) during the art deco era. I originally stamped the elephant and cut him/her out and realized it looked too big for the background.
I used to collect stamps as a kid and thought I would see if I had an old stamp from Ceylon, found one and copied that on the copier.

The Travelling Cat Chronicles

After a PM conversation last night I was inspired to make a second card, based on a book I read recently. This card will go to my sister, who loaned me the book; I subsequently bought my own copy.

MMTPT610 The Cat Who Travelled

Here is my tickle offering, combined with a VSN mini. My book cover is in the photo:

Me too, still thinking! LOL

This was a joy to make and felt artful in the moment. Thanks, Sue. MMTPT610 Art Of The Moment by Lori "Artzadoni" 

Thanks for a fun challenge Sydney Susie Q. It has taken me the longest time to make a card, my mojo must be in lockdown too.

For a lighthearted read, I thoroughly recommend this book (and movie).

Here's my card.

MMTPT610 The Dressmaker by susie australia - at Splitcoaststampers

Oh I would love to join in again this month. I’ve been reading the same book for weeks and it’s one of those books that you read a chapter, put it down and can pick it back up easily. Even my brain can deal with it lol.

I love reading and we have 2 bookcases stuffed full but I am thinking I may use the current book as it seems appropriate to use it and to send a tickle from here to someone overseas.
Count me in and I will put my thinking cap on.

Keep safe and well everyone.

What a great challenge for a book lover!

What a great challenge this was Sue -thank you for this! Here is my card/book entry: MMTPT610; ABC13A1 Dewey The Bibliocat by Art Deco Diva - at Splitcoaststampers. Thanks for looking today! ~Karen.

What a fantastic challenge Sue. I've been trying to think of a book and card to make all week long. I've read so many. I finally decided on "The Joy Luck Club" which I read years ago. It was very good and I wanted to make an Oriental themed card.

Here's my card which locks much prettier with the gold in person:MMTPT610 Good Luck by JRHolbrook - at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for an inspiring challenge, Sue. Perfect time to get some reading recommendations. I just finished reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Marvelous read!

I had a few technical difficulties with my card, but it's finally done!!! MMTPT610 Collect Dreams, Remember Moments

Thank you, Sue for a very inspiring challenge! I am late to the party, but good books and hopefully swap cards stand the test of time.

Here's my Dr Seuss' middle name is WONDER.

YEs thank you sue for such a fun challenge....here is my card with the funny book.
and HERE is the inside

Here’s my card. I had to take the photo outside as the lights not great this morning yet and I wanted to post before another Teapot Party begins lol.


MMTPT610 - I love a sunburnt country by Ozpom - at Splitcoaststampers


If anyone is interested, here’s Dorothea Mackellar reciting her poem before she passed away. She wrote the poem in 1908 when she was homesick in England. She recited this when she was in her 80’s.

This was a fun challenge Sue. I am currently reading Separation Anxiety: A Novel by Laura Zigman. It's already had me laughing a few times. The main character, Judy, starts carrying the family dog, a 20+ Sheltie, around in a baby sling/papoose to relieve her anxiety. She's kind of going through a mid-life crisis and carrying the dog around brings her comfort. The cover was also perfect for this challenge so I was excited to make my card albiet a little late. I had a 6x6 pad of Pink & Main DSP for a while - it had almost the exact colors of the book cover. Score! Here's my card and the book cover.

Took me two weeks to finish this card due to health issues. Was inspired by the book Monuments Men that I just finished reading. Still needs to be approved: blsr Raising The Flag by raduse - at Splitcoaststampers
