October Challenge “Books Worth Reading”

Books – so many to read, and so many to explore. Tell us about your favourite book, or share a photo with a precious moment where books are involved. Maybe you have named your kid after a book – or your pet. Or did you daydream of a hero in one of your novels when you where a teenager?

 

The How to:

To enter this challenge you need to link up your entry  Blog post, or post on Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest (link to the actual project – not the whole page) by using the linkytool below. You have until the end of November 5 to submit your project!  All submissions must have #ccbchallenge somewhere to be considered. Only 1 entry per person allowed. Are you a previous winner? That does NOT exclude you for winning again – please join in!!


We will invite the winner of the challenges to be our Guest Designer in December. This means that they will get a box filled with goodies from all 3 Canvas Corp Brands to play with.

We asked Alina Baran, Connie Hall, Tatiana Klimshina, Yulia Popkova, Sheri Lewitt & Dana Tatar  from the Canvas Corp Brands Crew made these samples using Canvas Corp Brands products. If you are not familiar with the Crew, they are a part of one of the most dynamic, creative, positive, inspiring, world-wide design team in the industry. 

Yulia tell us: For this task, I made a layout on the canvas. I love the golden autumn … It always inspires. I want to dream, read books and make plans for the next year.

Products from Canvas Corp Brands: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Starter Kit – Metallic, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist Paint – Firefly, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist Paint – Valencia, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist Paint – Decadence7gypsies Gypsy Moments 8×8 Paper Pad7gypsies Wanderlust 8×8 Paper Pad, Canvas Corp Stretched Natural Canvas – 5 x 7.

 

Dana Tatar has a intriguing story to tell:  I was inspired to create this project by an article I read about a group of women who delivered books on horseback in the 1940s. I always knew librarians were awesome, but this group of women literally went the extra mile, riding up to 120 miles a week to deliver books to readers in remote areas. They certainly have a healthy dose of determination and gypsy spirit. Article and photo credit: http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/librarians-horseback-new-deal-book-delivery-wpa.

Tatiana created a birthday card:  I made card inspired by my favorite character Sherlock Holmes and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is full of mystery, vintage and book atmosphere.

Products from Canvas Corp Brands: 7gypsies Gypsy Mixed Media Pad – Ordre du Jour, 7gypsies Findings – Found Glass Bottles Collection, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Vintage Brass, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze Paint – Sangria.

Sheri Lewitt made this cool tag: I based my tag on one of my favorite books (and moive) The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist –  Pearl, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Old Penny, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist – Amethyst, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Night B4 ChristmasCanvas Corp Tissuestock Damask on Ivory 12×12.

Connie Hall made this: I love books and have started collecting old books that could be altered. When reading I like how you can read and drift off to sleep and Dream about places and adventures. This altered book reflects a daydream where things you have read about pop out of the book and into your dreams. The pop ups are on hinge like paper pieces and small squares or muscles pull the fussy cut images up. I followed a pop up card and glued the pieces in the book.

Alina Bartan is also a book lover: I made this layout with a picture of me and my son reading in the forest . I am a believer that reading books to children gives them a hole new perspective of the world.
