Okay well it's 2020, so no REAL adventure awaits, but we can have a paper adventure! That's what I am doing for my Friday.
When I received my Leaf Stencil, it instantly screamed mountains to me - the open spaces in the stencil looked like the pieces of rock sticking out from underneath the snow of Mt. Everest. So I wanted to try making a landscape with it.
Now speaking of snow - I have an amazing book recommendation for you after my video. And a terrible story about how long I waited for this book.
This is just simple ink blending - my colors are listed below - and it forms the backdrop for my cute little camper girl, which is part of today's Stamptember collaboration with my friend Tifany! I'm so excited for her!
I colored her with my alcohol fineliners (coupon in the footer), and cut her out to put in front of my mountains, which could also pass for trees.
There is a little boy in the set, and the sentiments are fun - great for campers, scouts, etc. UBER short video on the card base below.
Here's the full stamp set - isn't this cute? And it's bundled with dies here.

If we dug up Lenin and all the dead Soviets and had them invent the world's most inefficient and unfriendly, bureaucratic and hideous book borrowing service they could conceive of, it still wouldn't hold a candle to the Austin Public Library.
George Orwell probably spins in his grave every time someone tries to check out an e-book or audiobook.
So I just walked away. But I walked away with several requests for audiobooks active.
And get this. I get an email this week telling me TWO books I requested - wait for it -
in November of 2017
were finally available!
That's right - THREE YEARS TO CHECK OUT AN AUDIOBOOK. Bravo, APL. Bravo.
Well anyway the first book is quite good. It's interesting to me how politics infects everything. In this case, meteorology, among other things. The scientific explanation of this horrific storm is fascinating. And the discussion of early meteorology in the US and how it became politicized is quite something.
I haven't listened to the other one yet, so I'll report back.
Hope you have a good weekend lined up!
Loveyameanitbye.
