Coffee The Most Important Meal of the Day--Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

September 23, 2016

I am joining the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

The AMAZING Amy Tsuruta is the created of this fabulous blog hop! Make sure you stop by and check out all the fantastic entries and the list of sponsors is over the top!  

I LOVE coffee and love being a part of this event! 

My card is created on a white card base.  The fall patterned papers are from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid paper pack. The image is from Your Next Stamp Ellie Loves Lattes.  I stamped her on Neenah Solar White paper and colored her with Copic Markers.  I stamped her again on a piece of plaid paper and fussy cut her skirt and paper pieced it on Ellie.  I used Glossy Accents on the heart headband.  The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark Cocoa ink.  Enamel dots and Wink of Stella were added to complete my card.  

THANK you for stopping by my blog today!  

Wishing you a fabulous day and lots of coffee!

HUGS!

I went on a crafty retreat with some very dear friends this weekend.  It is always so special to spend time with friends you don't see often, but you have so much in common with.

I wanted to enter the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  I just love their sketch this week.

My card is created on a white card base.  The next two layers are cut with the new Reverse Confetti- Lacy Scallop Frames.  I love retro looking stamps and just received this adorable deer stamp set from Avery Elle--Kitsch Stamp set and dies.  I stamped is on Neenah Solar White paper and colored the deer  with Copic Markers.  The white circle was cut with the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Circle Dies.  The plaid papers are from Lawn Fawn-Perfectly Plaid Christmas Pack.  I added a sentiment and some Wink of Stella to complete my card.  

Thank you very much for stopping by my blog.  Wishing you a wonderful week!  

HUGS!

It's A #PSL Kind Of DayPP313

September 18, 2016

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
This week the multi-talented Laurie is our lovely hostess this week.  Her theme challenge is  Clean and Simple "Taste of Fall" cards.

My card is created on a Very Vanilla card base.  I cut a piece of Cajun Craze paper for the next layer.  The top layer is a leaf pattern trimmed with the SSS stitched rectangle die.  Two Pumpkin Spice pumpkins were cut using the SugarPea Designs Stitched Autumn Icons.  I also cut two green ones to use for the stems.  The PSL "pumpkin spice latte" coffee cup was stamped with Cajun Craze ink.  The stamp set is from Reverse Confetti "Just Brew It" and the matching dies.  I stamped the drink section with Crumb Cake ink.  Enamel dots and Wink of Stella were added for fun! 

So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!
