So what has Annie created this month?? How about "Lovely Literature"? Annie has brought six beloved characters from literature to life: Little Orphan Annie, Scarlett O'Hara, Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, Anne of Green Gables and Mary Poppins!!
I have always been an avid reader. I absolutely love getting engrossed in a good book! For today's card, I decided to use a character from books that I loved as a young girl, Nancy Drew! I read so many of these books and had a collection of several, many procured from a used book store that I would frequent with my best friend. After making my card, I decided to search through some of my old books and found a few old Nancy novels...just perfect for staging my card today! (you'll notice the one is quite tattered...that was definitely one my my used book store finds!) Another happy coincidence is that I used yellow paper on the card which matches the yellow spines on the books perfectly! The papers are My Mind's Eye and the fun sentiment comes with Nancy Drew. The corner embellishments are Make It Crafty Chipboard.
Nancy Drew was stamped on Neenah in Memento Ink and coloured with Copics.
