CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #18–What’s Black, White and Read All Over?

Hola Crafty Peeps!

It’s time once again for another CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  Did you know that September 8th is International Literacy Day?  Well, in honor of that day, this week’s challenge is to create a CLEAN AND SIMPLE design based on a book, and use the colors Black, White and Red ONLY!  How fun is that?!!  You can use a children’s book, fiction, non-fiction, the phone book (good one, right?!) – whatever your little heart desires!!

This week’s sponsor is Paper and Such, and they’ve provided an amazing prize for this week’s TGIF Club Winner, but you know the drill – you’ll have to stop on over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog!  Oh, and while you’re there, please be sure and check out the amazing eye candy that the other Girl Fridays have for you there!!


I love to read.  I especially love to read biographies.  And I always have a stack of books on my night stand that I intend to read . . . some day.  LOL  But I have such a hard time sitting down and reading an entire book from beginning to end.  One of the books on my nightstand that I haven’t even opened up yet is “The Help.”  I’ve seen the movie previews, want to see the movie desperately, and really want to read the book before I see the movie.  Somehow, I highly doubt that that’s going to happen!  LOL  But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be inspired by the cover, right?!  When I saw this cover, my heart skipped a beat . . . I had recently purchased a download from the Silhouette Studio for the cutest park bench.  Perfect!!
