Coffee and Friends

A few days ago, when I was planning on going to the hospital to get my ankle checked, I was chatting to my friend K online about how busy A&E was likely to be. She suggested that if it was too busy, go to Starbucks and go back in an hour... assuming my friend T who was taking me to the hospital wouldn't mind coffee (they've never actually met), which surely not given she was a friend of mine!

Funny story... my friend T does drink coffee... but she didn't when we met a few years ago. In fact she hated even the smell... I would claim innocence, but I know I'm partly responsible for the turn around! And I'm rather proud of that! lol!



The card base if kraft, the stamp is from stampin up, stamped twice, one on design paper and cut out.

The circles are from the same paper pack which is The Good Life  from fancypantsdesigns. And of course a few gems, because gems.

This card was somewhat hampered by my cat stealing my seat when I stood up to pick my design paper, then sitting on my knee when I removed her from said seat... she's now sat on my foot stool. Apparently today she's going to be my little sticky plaster.

    A girl after my own heart....a cup of coffee is always a great idea. Coffee has a very powerful ability to turn even the biggest coffee haters into coffee lovers. Not sure how, but the I had the same experience with coffee myself. Loved the smell, hated the flavor, now morning does not begin till I have consumed a lot of coffee. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at CC&S.

Tinsel in a Tangle

  I just love this cute image and sentiment from Jan's digital stamp shop, I've had it printed forever just waiting to be used. Coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from the Classic Christmas Pad from make&create. I added some twine, gems and a couple of light bulb embellishments.

Warm Wishes

  The sketch from Jingle Belles immediately caught my eye this week and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I cut the circle and hexagon on my cameo, on kraft card and papers from hobbycraft, but the cup is fussy cut from stampin up's perfect blend set. I used white base, kraft card over the cup parts and a spare scrap of paper for the sleeve. The sentiment was from a Marianne Design set I got in a magazine a million years ago. This is probably the first time in ages I've made a card without using my promarkers or without... adding gems! *gasp* - I honestly planned too, but I thought it didn't really need them.

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).
