This is for the back to school themed CAS challenge. I will be sending this out to a friend who is the librarian at a nearby elementary school. She runs the "book club" which pairs volunteers (like me) with K-3rd graders. We listen to them read, offer help and encouragement. This image seemed appropriate. Book Club will start the beginning of October and I'll be back with my kids ;)

You have a stamp for everything! I love this pair of reading girls, and I especially like the contrast of the soft vintage colors you used on them with the bold orange and yellow of the rest of the card. The result ends up looking kind of 1950's to me.

I used to work in the elementary school library, and really loved it. I hope someday to be able to get back!! I love your "readers" and the school paper!

Great card. I love the images. What a nice thing you do, helping our youngsters learn to read, and to encourage them to keep on reading. I love the vintage feel of this gorgeous card. tfs.
