I have been VSN'ing without the benefit of a computer this weekend (I'm borrowing one right this second)...but I didn't want to miss out. So I did the challenge without seeing the sample. A girlfriend gave me the description over the phone (hurray for friends)!
For this challenge, the idea was to stamp my favourite collection. My oldest collection is definitely my books and my "library". I especially love the old Richard Scarry books and my Hardy Boys. But, I have no stamp that I thought could work for the books!
So, I created a bookcase out of paper, and then added the books by hand. The only stamp is the "inspiration" saying from Define your Life, which definitely describes how books affect me.
Normally, I don't consider myself an artist, but I figured I could draw the books in by hand with my marker, and then I added the colours to the books.
Hope you enjoy!

I love books also and have been collecting stamps that have books in them. TFS. I love the bookshelf.
