Hi. 🙂 My card today was inspired by a recent trip to our local Barnes & Noble. I also have been really wanting to use this Betty the Bookworm image from Stamping Bella.
Oh The Places You’ll Go!
We’re going on vacation soon so I popped into the local book store to pick up a couple things for the kids. Seven hours of travel with a ten and eight year old could easily end up not being the most pleasant of experiences without various sources of entertainment.
So I’m in the store and I happen to find a Pokemon World Book of Puzzles. Perfect! I walk to the register and there’s an older lady there whom I’ve seen many times. She’s polite enough but doesn’t really go out of her way to be friendly, which is fine. I hand her the book, she looks at the front, looks at the back, then gives me a bit of a strange look. I tell her, jokingly of course, “It isn’t for me.” And do you know what she said? “I don’t care.” I just looked at her. I was thinking … Really? Did you seriously just say ‘I don’t care’? lol. I think I did mutter under my breath “ok.” I know she doesn’t really care what I’m buying, but to say that? I just thought it was kind of rude. Maybe she didn’t realize she was talking out loud. *shrugging* Anyway…
I used Copics to color my image and the paper is new Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage. Stampin’ Up’s old Blue Bayou ribbon was a perfect match (which I consider lucky because that blue is a hard match to make).
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll be back soon! 🙂
