Charlotte’s Web has always been one of my very favorite books. I still have the copy I purchased at the Bookfair when I was in elementary school. It is well worn and loved. My mother covered it in clear contact paper long ago to keep it from falling apart. When I first saw this weeks theme for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge I wasn’t sure what book I would possibly base a card on, and then I remembered Charlotte & Wilber. So I went about making my card today, not even thinking to re-read the challenge post. And now I realize that the challenge was to base a card on a book and use only black, white & red as the colors as well. Oh well, so much for following the rules! But I liked my card so I am sharing it anyway.
I love that little pink pig. I think maybe that is how Wilber looked after Mrs. Zukerman gave him a buttermilk bath before going to the fair. He was the “cleanest, prettiest pig you ever saw” after all. 🙂
I doubt I will try to remake my Charlotte’s Web card in the correct color scheme for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge because I like it just the way it is. And I have a full week of projects to get done ahead of me as well. I’m looking forward to the Lawnscapings Blog Hop this Friday (9/9) and there just might be something else fun and exciting coming this weekend as well, you will all just have to stay tuned and see! But I do hope you join in the fun for Friday’s blog hop.

darling card. I kinda did the same thing on a CAS-ual Friday challenge, but shared my card anyway. SO GLAD you shared yours. LOVE IT!
Rules are SOOOO over rated anyway! I absolutely love this. So much! Its so fun & Charlottes Web HAS to be one of the best books of all time!! I can't wait until my daughter sits still long enough to read it together :). Terrific x3!
I loved this book too. Brings back memories. 🙂 Your card is perfect.
that is so amazing…loved the book and love your card!
Beutiful card! It couldn't be more beautiful in another colors, It's perfect as it is 🙂
This is PRECIOUS. I read Charlotte's Web so many times I practically read the cover off of it LOL! I am in LOVE with this card, Chari! ADORABLE x 10!
This is so cute. i LOVE it! I read the book to my kids when they were younger and just a few days ago my daugther age 7,started reading it on her own (the read-aloud edition). So glad you are sharing it. I didn't read a challenge carefully a few CAS-Fridays back but I too decided to link it up anyway.
I've completely forgotten that I should read that book to my boys. I LOVE that book and I love your sweet little card!
Lovely card! 🙂
Your card is adorable and I don't think it would be quite the same in the challenge's color scheme. Thanks for sharing!!!
