I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have been since high school. Every year, I revisit my Harry Potter books. This year, I have read them once, but since I've seen Bugaboo's Har Repotter set, I've been wanting to dive into them again.
Besides Harry, Dumbledore is my favorite character. It is so very easy to love him like a guardian. So, of course, my first creation using my new set would be of him.
Paper: Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Bugaboo Har Repotter- The Wise One
Accessories: SU! Brads, Ribbon, Twine, Watercolor Pencils, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, Sponges
Did I hear you GASP!? Yes, that is a page from my Harry Potter book.
I brought out my Deathly Hallows book to read. While I was making dinner, my 18-month-old monster tore apart the book. It is completely mutilated! He pulled the pages out of the binding, and ripped pages out. Coincidentally, this half-page was the first page I discovered when I returned to my living room. Only my son truly knows how upset I was. But, I refuse to throw the book away, and I will not try to piece it back together. So...here it is...and there will be many more creations to come using my old, beat-up Deathly Hallows book.
Well, truthfully, my book wasn't the only thing my son had fun with, so I must return to life and clean.
Wonderful card and I just LOVE the story behind the actual page you used as paper. Maybe someday your son will give you a very special gift - a new book with all the pages in tact! Thank so much for playin' with us this week at Bugaboo Catch The Bug Challenge. So glad you love the images!!
ReplyDeleteHugs & Happy Days!

ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I love this card...but omg! Your book was torn up, I would have freaked!

Thank you for playing along with us this week at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog!
ReplyDeleteOh, the powers of an 18 month old! I'm sorry to hear about your book, but what an awesome use of that torn out page. Great card! Thanks for joining us at Catch the Bug this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the book but it really does look good here. Hope you managed to finish reading it first! You have done a great job with 'The Wise One'. Hope you have enjoyed all the goings on with the HP inspired release.
