I can hear the sweet sound of my coffee maker brewing in the background .. the aroma filling my kitchen .. **deep breath** Sigh **. I ran out of my norm Folgers so I opened my new bag of Ugly Mug coffee to give it a whirl. (Hardy Passion ~ Bold : robust, rich, all dark and no bite)) lol. I hope it tastes as good as it smells! Anyways, I LOVE sweets esp chocolate with my coffee. (not sweet coffee... just sweets with it :) ). This House Mouse Card really made my chocolate craving even stronger. All the pretty browns and rich colors. YUMMY! :) I made this card for the House Mouse Monday Challenge. This week it was to follow a beautiful sketch. I had a lot of fun with this one. I really needed that creative break .. and Mondays are the perfect time for me to do that. It feels good to have a reason to love Mondays again :D. Hope you are all having a great night. I am off to enjoy my night with my hubby who just came in the door:) night all!!!Papers: Best Occasion brown cs, Patterned Papers were RAKed.
Stamp: Make a Wish, House Mouse
Ink: Brilliance graphite, crayola colored pencils, OMS
Very cute. I love the coffee colors and I feel for you on running out of coffee. EEK!!! Great job with the sentiment around the edge!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Heather! Love the lettering. And yummo, I love sweets with my coffee too, like you, not in it, I WANT to TASTE the coffee, with a little something to nibble on the side. A memory of a cool October morning in Eurika Springs sitting at an out door cafe with steaming coffee and warm blueberry scones. The fog and falling leaves left a landscape that could only be of God's art. I will never forget the smell of the coffee, and the damp morning dew.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to see your little Hannah looking healthy and happy! May God contiue his good works in her!
