This is for the VSNAUG10MINI5 One of my favorite things to do during the summer is to read. I don't get a lot of time to read during the school year so summer is my time to do so. I have read a TON of books this summer and my guilty pleasure are the old Nancy Drew mystery books. I will freely admit that I checked out all that my library system had (through the summer) and read them all. Now, I just need to find some time to go and read the rest of them! It just takes me back to my childhood and the joy I found in reading them back then when I pretended that I was a dark haired Nancy Drew. My crimping (even though you can't see it well) is on the butterfly.

Great card! I love that Ippity stamp, and just reading the name "Nancy Drew" takes me right back to the backyard of my childhood home where I would read and re-read that series of books. Thanks for bringing back great memories!

How wonderful. I am with you...I love to read in the summertime. When I was younger, I would grab a book and sit in the back yard under a tree and read while munching on an apple. Your card is simply delightful. Thanks so much for playing in the challenges.

Fabulous! I love the way you did the books and the butterfly lighting on them, it feels so summery! (love the BG shaped like a book, too, awesome!)
