What a super card! This is my favorite SAB truck, by far! I, too have a reading obsession and work p/t at our local library. Mostly just to get my hands on the latest books FIRST! The SSS set works perfectly.
OH, this is just so cute and suits you to a tee! I remember the book mobile and you're so clever to create this one from Tasty Treats! Your coloring is perfect and I love the sign on top! Sweet card!
So. you would completely relate to 'playing sick' to stay home and read the latest Nancy Drew? LOve that you've turned this into a bookmobile!!! I also do love a great food truck ... I love to read, I eat, and I craft - to live!!! LOve your card!!! =]
This is such a great card Linda! I love you bookmobile! Such great colouring and I love how you integrated the two stamp sets! The very first chapter book series I read was the Bobbsey Twins! I still have them, though my boys aren't interested. Boys!
Linda I just LOVE this card! You really know how to think outside the box sister! What a great way to use this stamp set... AND ... I bought the book stamps when you made another card I fell in love with a while back. (book on a shelf)... Such a GREAT INSPIRATION!!! PS: I'm sure BOTH Nancy & Nance do too! Both Librarians.... I'm sure you know. My John's daughter also does Book Fairs as a profession. Hugs.
This little truck is a brilliant use of the sketch. You are amazing, my friend!

True confession; Cardmaking is not my #1 way to spend my free time......gasp! I am a reader......I started way back in the dark ages with The Bobbsey Twins and have never looked back. After I retired from teaching I took a part time job at our local library. Every Tuesday afternoon you can find me processing the new books that have just been released - it's a great job - and every week one or two of those new books usually end up at my house!
But fear not - cardmaking is a close second to reading! Both of these pastimes inspire me, entertain me and teach me so many new things. And through stamping blogs, Facebook and cardmaking events I have even met a lot of "characters" in person! ;0)
When I looked at the SAB set Tasty Treats my first thought was Bookmobile! So I added a few images from To Thine Own Shelf (Simon says Stamp) and tucked in a little heart. I just might be sending this out as a Valentine to a friend who also loves to read.
Hope you join us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. My friend from waaaaay up north....Jen Brum....designed a great sketch for us!

I love this. I have the SSS set too because my daughter is a librarian. And as a kid in NYC I loved the bookmobile!

I love your bookmobile -- genius use of this set. And how genius of you to use this stamp set with the sketch! ;)

This couldn't be more brilliantly adorable, Linda! I love how you've incorporated the two banners element.

Oh this is so clever! Both using the truck for a bookmobile and how you used the truck and flags for the sketch!

Linda this card is just fabulous - I love your little mobile library, so creative and perfect for a bookworm!

When I saw this truck I thought of the ice cream man. But I can certainly see why you would see a book-mobile. What a creative take on the sketch!

As a book worm myself, I think your card is fabulous - (and can't wait to get my hands on this Stampin' Up stamp set!).

Super cute card Linda! That image is so fun! Thanks for the inspiration!
