Blue Card Base and Simply Jane

Here's a rather straightforward card using PTI's Simply Jane, a Fiskar's border punch, and dimensionals.



I just love that quotation from Northanger Abbey. I need to reread that one...been a while, and I do love Jane.

What's your favorite Austen novel?

I'm torn between Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

    My favorite is Persuasion. It's very similar to my "love story" with my husband, and so I adore it! Not that I was persuaded not to marry him, just similar. ;) LOVE this card--totally gonna CASE it if that's okay!!! I haven't read Northanger Abbey for a very long time either. I need to re-read a bunch of them! :) Hope you had a fabulous Easter, Susan!!!

    Pride and Prejudice definitely, the only book I have read twice and for a teenager that was quite a feat. It probably also helped that in the 2 adaptations the BBC did of the book, they chose 2 very dishy Mr Darcys. SWOON!

    This is really really lovely. I love the colors, the stamps, the sentiment, and the border. It's all so utterly feminine. Just lovely.

    Beautiful card. Pride and Prejudice, hands down is my fave. I just read it again, for like the 10th time, last week on vacation, and it is still good! Am now reading Death Comes to Pemberly--seems fun.

    Totally love this card and that sentiment. I'm ashamed to say I've never read the books. Saw one of the movies. And loved it.

    I'm just reading Emma at the moment and am rather enjoying it :) though I think my favourite will remain Pride & Prejudice as it is so beautifully crafted... just like your card!

    Lovely card! My favourite is still Sense & Sensibility. But I may change my mind as I re-read them. ;-)

    I love them all and have re-read them all many, many times!! I think Emma may be my favorite with Mansfield park second. They are really all my favorites!!! LOL

    I love the Jane Austen cards you're doing. My favourite is Pride and Prejudice, closely followed by Emma. I too am just reading Death Comes to Pemberly - PD James really manages to capture Jane Austen's style.

    Northanger Abbey just happens to be my favourite Jane Austen novel! Perfect card for this quote.

    My all time favorite is Pride and Prejudice, but Persuasion comes in as a close second:)

    Pride and Prejudice! It was my first Jane Austen and holds that special place in my heart and mind! Love your card too!

    Definitely Pride and Prejudice for me. And I'm lucky enough to live near her house in Chawton, England.
    Great card. xx
