I used some of the dies from the September 2020 Club La-La Land Crafts Kit, including the desk, as well as the lamp, the coffee cup and the books.

I wrote on the books - adding words for the theme.

I used the Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die, along with the Double Stitched Ovals Die and then added the Stitched Zig Zag Die in the middle.
