CCEE1516 - National Librarian Day

Frances advised the CCEE Stampers that today is National Librarian Day and challenged us to use a book as our inspiration.  In addition, today is my day to post a card to the CardMaker Blog, and as fate would have it, my theme was U Inspire Me.  I was to create a card inspired by a piece of art, fashion, home decor, photograph, etc.  So . . . I sort of combined my two tasks for today.  My inspiration for the CardMaker blog was a vase that my mom (who was a talented ceramicist, among other things) had made many years ago and now sits in my dining room.

So, for Frances' challenge, I had to come up with a book about sailing.  Aha!!! Moby Dick is definitely about sailing.

And here is my card:

If you'd like to see how I created this card, check out today's CardMaker Blog.  And if you'd like to play along with the CCEE Stampers, pick out a book and make a card.
