I Heart USA Reading Across America Card

What better than a book shaped card in American USA Red/White/Blue colors for Reading Across America.

Had bought the stamp at Hobby Lobby when they had a 50% off sale on the rubber stamps last yr. The Kraft americana cardstock is perfect for patriotic theme.

Had made a similar card before and posted previous card below. You can see details of similar card by clicking here.
