Coffee

Coffee....I LOVE coffee! My good friend, Heather, and I got together a few days ago to have lunch. We usually meet for coffee at a local coffee shop, so this was a bit different for us...no coffee! It's funny how it almost seemed like something was missing. Weird, huh? I'm going to send this card to Heather as a reminder that we MUST have coffee together soon:)



I was inspired by this beautiful antique teapot from The Shabby Tea Room DT Call and by Julee's awesome Mojo Monday #142 sketch. Thanks Debbie and Julee for getting me started:)



The Cutter Kit was necessary to get a little shabby chic and create a distressed edge on a couple of the layers of my card. I added a little Crumb Cake ink using the "pad to paper" technique to give the distressed edges an aged look. I think the metal clips and Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon finish the card off nicely.



I have several challenges jotted down, so look out...if all goes well, I will have several projects to show you this week. Did I mention that my hubby and the boys are in Des Moines at the World Pork Expo showing pigs this week...so it's just us girls!

Goodness of Life

The Mojo Monday Sketch #133 was my inspiration for this card today. Lots of fun layers and embellishments for this one...right up my alley:) Although, as soon as I got my card uploaded, I realized that I accidently omitted the horizontal panel behind the main image...oops!
