Hi!
Today I’m here to share a card I made for the Moxie Fab Challenge – Celebrating Hobbies. Moxie Fab has the most unique challenges with ample time to think and create. When I came across this challenge, I thought this would be an opportunity for me to make something for my daughter, Alisha.
Alisha now 17, has been an avid reader from a young age. A very good habit and hobby I agree, but not to the extent of being totally unaware of what’s going on around her and much more!!! Around 4 yrs ago she related to me that, she was reading a book in her school library during break and lost track of time. The bell had rung, but my DD was lost in the book. Fortunately, the librarian saw her there and told her it was time for class. During holidays if she has had loads of books to read, she is happy. If not, her holidays were boring or the worst ever. Today, she just finished her AS level, mid-term exams and yes she's reading. She’s honestly bananas about books and here’s the card I made for her to celebrate her hobby - Reading.
The inside of the card reads “Have a Happy Holiday!”
Here's a close up and side view of the bookmark.
The banana was drawn, colored with chalk pastels, sprayed with the fixation spray and cut out. I added googly eyes and a feather, just to make it look more interesting, adhered it to the card with foam tape (not very tacky) so it could be removed from the card and used as a bookmark. The sentiment outside is printed and the inner one stamped with a DRS Designs Stamp. Hope you like my creation.
Besides the Moxie Fab Challenge, I’m also entering this card for a bookmark challenge on The House that Stamps built

Such a fantastic card and I love the bookmark. Lee x
I simply adore your banana. Really clever and my sixteen year old son is same as your daughter. I have heard librarians complain to me that they have had to drag him out before they could shut down for the day.
What a fun card and sentiment, love it.. and your daughter will too.. I used to love reading as well. hugs xxx
Hey Leanne! Thanks for linking this up to the Celebrating Hobbies Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner, but it sure is a fun card/bookmark! :)
This is really cool Leanne, always enjoy your innovative ideas
