And my feet are killing me!
After being a stay-at-home mom and then having this salon where I sit most of the time - being on my feet for 9 hours straight and not just standing but constantly moving (back and forth prepping, making coffee, waiting tables etc etc etc!!) makes my feet ACHE!! I've got good shoes but still - feet can only take so much!
It's nice to just SIT - and since Tim had bowling tonight I got a little time for just ME - so I made a card!
Before I post it I have to thank y'all AGAIN - seriously I am really appreciating all the comments and feedback lately!! I've said before that I read ALL the comments I get (and I do!) and try to reply to all of them (so if you post a comment with a question I will generally post my reply to it right below said comment) but lately it seems like there are a LOT more of y'all commenting than usual - and I'm liking it!
Makes me feel like I'm actually talking to people (and not just to myself - tho I tend to do that a lot too.........) ROFLOL!!!
ANYWHO - while I'm sitting here enjoying another cup of tea (peach and passion fruit by Twinings - YUM!! I still dunno why I'm on such a tea kick - I'm a gal that loves her coffee/espresso drinks!! If I could have a large carmel macchiato with whipped cream and drizzled carmel every day without putting back on all the weight I've lost (or better yet keep LOSING weight - wouldn't that be heaven?) I would be a VERY happy girl) - again ANYWHO (I keep getting side-tracked tonight) - here's the card:
This is another of the Holiday Swiss Pixies images I had colored the other day.
I stamped her onto CCD White carstock with Memento black ink and colored her in with Copic markers.
COPICS USED:
E50, E51, R20, E25, E27, R39, R59, R83, R85, YG23, YG25, BG0000.
I then masked her and airbrushed the pink around her (after I'd die cut the oval and leaving the die in place).
Oh and of course I had to add a bunch of Stickles - the image wouldn't be complete without!! (sorry the pic isn't as bright as it should be - I just took all these pics now and it's dark :( )
I used the same papers as the last card - all from the MME Colorful Christmas line (LOVING THOSE - they're so bright and cheerful!!) along with some punched snowflakes (both Martha Stewart punches - I wonder if there will be new Snowflake punches this year?? I hope so - I LOVE snowflake punches LOL!) and prima flowers.
The ribbon is just cheapo Offray ribbon I got at either Michaels or WalMart.
The sentiments on the front and on the inside of the card are both from my Christmas Card Greetings set.
I finished off the inside with a couple more punched snowflakes and that was it!

My cup is empty - I think I'm going to brew up another cup of tea. Hopefully all this herbal stuff I'm drinking aids me in NOT getting sick! My mom saw my sister and she's still pretty sick - so I'll be working all day again tomorrow and Friday.
I can't wait for this week to be over honestly - I still can't believe it's only Wednesday!!
