I'm still far from feeling 100% but I can't hit a world pause button until I feel better, so it is back to work for me today. Thankfully I got in a nice and restful day yesterday that helped a lot. And the bonus was... waking up at 9:30am only to realize that the 'fall back' time change had occurred during the night and it was only 8:30am, woot woot! That really helped me feel like I didn't entirely sleep the day away while trying to beat this cold. :)
By the time afternoon rolled around, I was even feeling well enough to play in the crafty room for a bit. And since I had just gotten my order of new November stamps from TGF this was the perfect time to get a little inky. I couldn't remember the last time I had colored up an Anya, which is such a shame as she was my very first stampy love, so Holiday Anya had to get on a card. She is such a lovely addition to the Anya line and was super quick to color up, which was great!
I still had the Merry Little Christmas 6x6 pad on my desk and I thought the red and pink combo fit this Anya to a 'T'... kinda girly and Christmas-y all at the same time. Then I just played around with a couple different border punches and a Martha Stewart holly punch to finish off the rest of the card. Nothing new or earth-shattering about this but I love how it came together. :)
Alrighty, time to pop a DayQuil and get a move on.
Toodles!

Oh Amy I love how you have color Anya. She looks beautiful with your awesome papers. I think your whole card is just wonderful. I have to say it is by far one of my favorites. I am glad you are feeling a little better. Would you believe I went to bed last night at 7pm. I am getting better than I was, but still not myself. Had to take Madie to buy clothes yesterday afternoon and I think that took my steam out of me. lol.... Hope you have a great day at work. Don't forget to bring your DayQuils with you. Hugs, Lisa

What kind of adhesive did you use with the white Doodlebug flock? It looks so nice and fliffy! Very pretty card! Do you ever sell kits with the die cuts and papers so we can make our own like yours and try our hand at coloring itlike yours too?
