Happy Birthday

 

When I saw that Seize the Birthday was having a "Be Inspired by a Book" challenge, I had an idea immediately! 



This should be pretty recognizable! Charlotte and Wilbur are sending happy birthday wishes! The Poppystamps Country Barn and Whittle Pig came in handy for this one. I had a panel on hand with some shiplap (TE) already stamped on it. It provided me with a good inside for the barn. Then I used the scraps to cut the outside trim. I coordinated the IO grass border and ME bows with Charlotte's eyes!





At the end of this school year, our Sweet P played the part of Narrator #1 for her second grade class play of Charlotte's Web. She nailed it and looked totally adorable all decked out in a little suit!

I recognized that "book" theme right away! I always loved this book, it's such a cute story, but the main character's name, Fern, is the same as my mom's! You did a fabulous job recreating it! I am sure Sweet P did an awesome job, too!
