Thinking of You



So in case you can't tell I've had some down time this last weekend and this week during work.  I'm sure things will pick up very soon as the end of the month is approaching and I am heading to Australia for work for two weeks but until then I have another card to share. :) 

I actually have a bunch more on my computer for things I did for my recent wedding six months ago.  For any wondering where I had gone since I posted for a while but then went MIA it was because my now hubby proposed last April and since that time I have planned and executed a wedding, changed companies to take on a new job better suited to me and we built a house together.  In total I have moved now 4 times within a year!  But now we have been married about 6 months and things are starting to settle down and I am hoping to do much more scrapping so hopefully that means I will also update my blog more  often. :) 

So one of the things I have been obsessed with lately is my copics.  I already had a pretty decent sized stash but about two months ago Archiver's had a sale to buy one marker get one free!  Well needless to say I stocked up on a ton of them.  At my store they are $8/each so to get 2 for $8 was a STEAL!  My usual method has been to go to Hobby Lobby over my lunch break (sooo close to my new job) and use my 40% off coupon to buy one marker at a time.  So one of the color groups I was seriously lacking on was my browns to make more hair colors so that had been my goal lately.  One day I randomly went to get my one marker and Hobby Lobby had their Copics on clearance... they were $2.50/each!!!!!  Needless to say I made the sales person go through my list with me on what I had versus what was on sale.  It was Christmas in July!!!  So then I called my mom told her and she went and checked her Hobby Lobby.  They weren't as cheap as I found them at my store but she ended up buying me 4 more markers for my stash.  So as a thank you I made her this card with some of my newest stamps and used my Copics to color the image. :) 
The girl is the Simply Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm and I must say I am really loving her!  She was a lot of fun to color.  I can't wait to make her have lots of different hair colors.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Sentiments Inside and Out set.  It is kinda hard to read in the picture but it says Thinking of you when I made this card..... that's why I sent it to you (inside). 


Thanks for stopping by and remember comments are always welcomed! :)
