More is More

I wanted to send a thank you card to the Inn Keepers of the Cheshire Cat Bed & Breakfast where we spent our vacation last week (scroll down for details) and I knew I had the perfect image.  In fact I had it on the trip with me along with my Copics, but I never got around to coloring while we were gone.

This adorable Anna Wight Whipper Snapper image was sent to me by my friend Diane (CookieStamper).  We traded some images awhile back and I’ve had this one sitting out to color for the past two weeks at least.  I colored it with the Copic markers pictured above (click the thumbnail to see them larger).  I chose colors based on this piece of background designer paper from the Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie 8×8 pad (from eP).  I *heart* that line of paper!  The sentiment *happy place* from the retired SU set Cute Converse was just perfect!  I stamped it on white shimmer cardstock and punched it out with a 3/4″ circle punch and layered onto Close to Cocoa, Rose Red and Barely Banana and then covered it with an acrylic sticker.  The nice soft olive twill is from…hmmm…I thought it was from TayloredExpressions, but I just checked and she doesn’t seem to have olive so I have no idea where I got it.  LOL! .  Some banana brads and clear generic dew drops are the finishing touches.  I stamped a thank you sentiment on the inside of the card and I’m excited to get it in the mail today.

 Besides Ice Road Trckers starting Sunday night, HGTV Design Star also premiered…at the exact same time!  Thank goodness for the DVR!!!  Am I the only reality tv junkie?  I especially like the shows that focus on talents and abilites (Design Star, Apprentice, Dancing With the Stars, Top Chef, Project Runway).  Curt thinks it’s hysterical that I love Ice Road Truckers…and honestly it is kind of weird I think…but I’m hooked.  Did you see it Sunday night?  Isn’t Drew a total dweeb???  Sheesh!

I need to get ready for work.  Thanks for stopping by!
