The kit I worked with had tons of fun stuff in it and was full of fabulous bright colors - totally up my alley! There were three sets of alphas, lots of patterned paper and cardstock (including several brands and textures of cardstock - love that!), and countless fun embellishments. I've barely cracked the kit with the projects I've made and am looking forward to making even more with it!
Here's a 4th of July card I cooked up with flocked brads, patterned paper, and painted chipboard Thickers:
One more card, this one with some cool mesh and a fabric strip I gathered into a circle:
I also made a layout using the oh-so-cool Prima Clearly IOD alpha tape (thank you, Green Tangerines for introducing me to to this product!) and a fun little graphic smiley I made with a circle punch and bits of foam alphas:
So...here comes the fun part...wanna win a Green Tangerines kit? :) One with over $50.00 worth of scrapbooking goodies? :) Yes?

I loved Tuck Everlasting. It was one of my favorite stories. I read it cover to cover in 1 sitting. The first book I ever did that with.
Favorite children's reader...Goodnight Moon & Any Dr. Seuss (I loved them all). Max & Ruby, Little Bear, Frog & Toad are a few more.
The Velveteen Rabbit. My daughter and I read this one together last year and I was really touched by the story. Luv your work!
Oh The Places You'll Go......by Dr. Seuss! :)
The Secret Garden and Harriet the Spy are two of my all time favorites!!
ah, children's 'novels' - ack. it's been so long for me. i'm not sure harry potter counts for 'younger' reading as they begin to get darker and YES, can you believe i'm on book THREE finally, are you NOT proud - tee, hee. cheers to you viv! ♥ rachel
My favorite childrens book by far is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. Fabulous!
My favorites were the Little House on the Prairie books. I used to have the original series memorized. Plus there are now books about Rose (Laura's daughter), Caroline (Ma), Charlotte (Laura's grandmother) and Martha (Laura's great-grandmother). All are great!
I always loved Anne of Green Gables!
Though my children are grown now, Owl Moon was a big hit! When your kids are a little older a great read-aloud is Little Britches by Ralph Moody!
The Velveteen Rabbit was a favorite at our house.
Not sure if it is a children's 'novel'...but I liked Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.
Giggle Giggle Quack or Click Clack Moo. Love them both!
My 10 year old is a reader. I asked him what his favorite novel is right now & he said "Elephant Run" by Roland Smith. KEEPER by Mal Peet is the runner up! My 8 year old is really enjoying the Ramona Quimby books. Happy reading!
BTW- your cards & LO are super cute! TFS!
any roahl dahl books...james and the giant peach, mathilda, witches, fantastic mr fox.....etc.
I loved the Giver by Lois Lowry. The best book ever!
Novel? Charlotte's Web for sure.
I have so many its hard to pick. I love "Guess How Much I Love You" for young kids, and We've been going through some classsics with my 1st and 3rd grader so, Black Beauty, Pollyanna, and The Wizard of Oz.
Anything by Dr Suess. I read them as a child and I've read them to my children. They were just as fabulous second time round.
Tonight we read Belinda and the Glass Slippers. It's a nice twist on a classic. I always enjoy reading it and I'm glad my daughter likes it too!
Have you read any of the "Akiko" books by Mark Crilley? A local independent bookstore owner pointed them out to me and the boys love 'em...all about a 4th grader who finds herself in outerspace on a rescue mission with a mix-n-match crew.
hmmm...fave children's novel. I recently finished reading one of my 4th grader's books: No Talking by Andrew Clements. Very clever - I honestly can't imagine my own kids would stop talking for 2 days...but who knows what they'd do if there's a competition - and a "DARE" involved!
Thanks for the chance to win. And thanks for the inspiration - very cute projects you've posted!
my fav is harry potter, but i am sure that is on your list. my new fav is Magic Thief and Fablehaven series.

Viv, you did an amazing job with the kit!! Love that smilie! *My* favorite children's novel is Charlotte's Web. (That's where Avery got his name!) If you ask the boys...they are totally into Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. The boys totally crack up reading those!

From the looks of my copy of Charlotte's Web, I'd say that must have been my favorite!
I LOVE the smiley face you made out of the Thickers. Great work!
My kids are so young, so favorites are: Goodnight Moon and Berstain bears.
"Just in Case You Ever Wonder" by Max Lucado
Secret Garden for younger readers and Anne of Green Gables for tweens :)
It's been a long time since I had a child and needed to keep up with novels for him. Now it's grandkids and any Dr. Seuss book. I love reading those books to them.
Ok...no kiddos here...but during my years of babysitting...I would recommend anything by Dr. Seuss. It's creative writing, very entertaining, and you just can't find more fun reading.
One of my faves as a child was "Bridge to Terabithia". I read it long before the movie came out.
I guess mine is a tie between Charlotte's Web and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I really can't decide which one I like more!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite children's novel is Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls. It was awesome way back when I was little, and still is today when I read it aloud to my girls!
My fave has to be the Phantom Tollbooth.
When my girls were younger they use to like to read the Judy Blume books! Enjoy the summer reading!
The original Hans Christian Anderson Fary tales...so much better than the disney versions...they are more realistic.
-Jori
We love the Stink books (Stink is Judy Moody's brother). Very funny, with a little something educational thrown in (for example, did you know James Madison was our shortest president?). The kind of books the grown-ups don't mind reading. :)
Right now my kids and I are having a lot of fun reading all the Skippyjon Jones Books. We just giggle away at all the fun rhyming throughout.
My favorite was Charlotte's Web because I grew up on a farm with pigs!! Loved sharing that with my girls!! They also loved one called Todd and Copper - it was from a Disney Series I ordered (15 years ago) my DH name is Todd and the girls thought that was great plus he would do great voices for the characters! Later on we found the movie!!
So my favorite childrens BOOK is If they put me in the zoo. Novel would have to be any of the sweet valley high series. I loved those when I was in like 4th-8th grade!
My absolute favorite Children's novel is The Giver by Lois Lowry. However...you should read it before your child does because it has a lot to talk about! It is SO good!!!
I was too old when American Girl books came out, but my daughter is just the right age. Love getting to finally read these and with my little girl.
My little one loves "The Search of The Great White Tiger" by Sheila Walsh. She's only four so she isn't reading quite yet. Not a novel but a great book just as well.
My kids love the harry potter books, they read them over and over...
My kids love the Harry Potter books, they read them over and over...
It's not a novel, but my favorite children's book is Cloudy with a Side of Meatballs. Love it!
The little mermaid and any classic story but not the Disney versions.
Our most favorite series of books begins with Little Britches by Ralph Moody. I think there are about 7 books in all following the life of young Ralph on the farm in Colorado.
This is a tough one because my children are grown. but, I would have to say James and the Giant Peach and Harriet the spy.
One of our family's favorites was Desperaux.
My son got the reading bug in 2nd grade. Your son will love the author Gordon Korman and ALL his books. He has several series and they are all great!! Ex. "Dive", "Everest", "Island","On the Run" and "Kidnapped".
Also, he likes the author Erin Hunter. She has the "Warriors" series and "Seekers". Good luck with summer reading.
Love all your layouts, very creative!!!
Call me old fashioned but I love Dr. Seuss green eggs and ham.
I used to have the original series memorized. Plus there are now books about Rose .......
My favorites were the Little House on the Prairie books
