Oh my lawsie, this morning has started off with a bang! my coffee maker is on it's way out .....and you can only imagine the horror that brings to me and my household! yikes! it took over 30 min. for it to brew one pot, so I'm thinking it's time to get the French Press back out. Then the big trash trucks were out doing their thing before 6 a.m., so it was noisy noisy noisy. We have an annual trash collection day here in our little village, and today is the big day. tree lawns overflow with stuff people want to get rid of, so the trash collectors start EARLY to begin the rounds. just when I really needed my coffee! ;)
okay, we are done with that.... on to fun crafty stuff! Several of us who are DT members at Pile it On were asked to do a fun DT swap with Bugaboo today. They are the sponsor for PIO beginning tomorrow. We get to play in their challenge and they get to play in ours - how fun! :) So of course I chose to use this cutey cute cute coffee image and matching senti for my card. The challenge at Bugaboo this week is a recipe one: buttons, twine, and a senti.
Papers are from My Mind's Eye Blink of an Eye collection, little tag is Maya Road, big blue button is SU!, while other buttons are from my vintage stash, twine is K & Co. (LOVE this color combo in the twist!). I used shimmerz paint on the spoon, heart, and the girl coffee cup's cheeks, a clear spica glitter pen to hightlight the steam, and my white gel pen to add some accents to her cup. I then put on my brave boots and grabbed my black sharpie to add some little squiggles to both the man's coffee cup and the card edges.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Love your card, so cute! I got a new coffee maker today and I would share but you would have a long hike down here to NC. :) Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a fantastic blend of fun emblies! So glad that you coffee pot at least favored you with one more cup! I just had a garage sale today and what was left over went to our curb for free (was gone in under 15 min!) or to the free store at the dump. So nice to clear out some things!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, love the image and the sentiment is perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us at CraftyCatz this week.xx
ReplyDeleteaaah such a pretty card, thanks for playing along with CRAFTY CATZ x carol
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Jenn! What a bummer on the coffee front, all this time I assumed you bought your daily coffee at Starbucks or Dunkin? I had no idea they had so many blends to buy and brew, at home? I guess you can tell I haven't been to the grocery sore in ages? That is a task hubby took on after the Fibro came into my life. I kind of miss it, but he does better and saves money too, so that is good, plus I can't carry the heavy bags....oh well!
ReplyDeleteI wrote a little post to you on my blog last week, kind of my little tribute to your amazing strength, during your health battle. Seems far too many of my craft friends are having tough battles. You encourage me to look at the good and try hard not to think about my Fibro, goodness knows it is nothing compared to your fight! I think of you all the time and my Mom also asks about you as I have shared your story with her.
I still feel that it is so unfair that you have this fight, why you, a super sweet gal! It makes no sense and I guess it never will. I still hope everyday is a better day and truly think you will beat this, and that a cure for all will come too!
Sending a big hug and caring thoughts!
....God Bless you, your hubby and the boys....praying for you!
Lovingly in friendship,
Lisa
