YES! I HAVE COFFEE!!!

Who are we kidding?

I ALWAYS have coffee! 

~hehehehehe~

Yesterday was a busy busy day. 

I was able to have a half day of school with the kids, clean out the bathrooms, fridge, 

both freezers, cabinets, wash about 5 loads of clothes AND put them away, sweep, 

vacuum, and mop! AND cook a big dinner... AND be a gracious host to a not so 

well mannered and gracious little girl from the neighborhood, lol!

I really wanted to stay in bed this morning (or go back to bed after my hubby left for work at 5:30) 

 but also wanted to get up and create 

and share the card I was able to make yesterday with you....

so crafting won! Sleep can be made back up tonight.

Early yesterday morning I got out my 

SHE LOVES LATTES 

Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp Set

and got to work.

I had stamped this latte loving lady on a papertrey inc coaster just to see how

it would color. I pressed a little too hard when stamping her, so the ink lines

are thicker in some areas than they normally would be... but I still

sort of liked it... and I didn't want to waste another, so I colored her up...

ink blotchy and all. Hey, we can't all be perfect all of the time, right?

Her dress, shoes, and latte cup are coated 

 in COTTON CANDY STICKLES.

She was colored up using prismacolor and copic markers. 

The inside is decorated using some scraps left over from the front

and has been spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist: Viva Pink

I used the following papers for this project:

Papertrey inc Coaster, Kraft, and White cardstock

KI Memories Groovy Photo Mat Stack

scrap dark brown

extras: Twinery Twine: Flax

This card was created for the following challenges:

THE FUSION CARD CHALLENGE

(both the sketch and photo inspiration) 

All That Stickles: Cotton Candy Link Up Party

Sentimental Sundays - For a Special Woman 

My Time to Craft -Show Us the Inside...decorate the inside to match the outside

Love...

I have a simple little card to share with you today. 

This card is one I created for my husband for our15th anniversary

that we were so happy to have celebrated last week. 

I know it is  a little too pink and too girly, but he knows I am not good at

'guy' cards... so he should still be happy knowing it came from my heart. 

Yes, I realize I am saying this like he hasn't seen it yet.

Well, he hasn't. Did I mention that it is our 15th anniversary ... lol. 

He will not mind that it is a little late. We have both been SO busy!

The sentiment paper was a gift from my friend Rhonda (perfect right) by Kathy Davis: Ambrosia

and the other patterned heart paper is from K&Company: Lovely

The sentiment  is from my Fresh Brewed Designs Stamp Set: Latte Love and is stamped

on a paper coaster by Papertrey Inc. The Epoxy Chipboard buttons are by Little Yellow Bicycle  

Thank you for stopping by today. 

I hope you have a very happy and blessed day.

FLOWERS!!!

It is time for a new month long prize challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges

and we are celebrating FLOWERS this month!

I haven't used many flowers on my cards lately, so it was a challenge for me to

figure out how to place them without it looking gaudy. Not sure if I accomplished that on the 

first card, but know I tried ;)

Good Morning!

I was so happy to have gotten the chance to create this morning!

My camera has been in the shop for over a week now, and I haven't been able to 

create anything. What would be the point if I cant post it right?!? ;)

 

So ..... I have a happy little card to share with you today.

The sun is shining and it is another beautiful day that 

we have been blessed to see and be a part of.
