Coffee with Daddy

Coffee of the Day - Maple Fudge

My love of coffee began on Saturdays with  my Daddy. I think even he would be amazed to find that those days of going for doughnuts would have led to the love of coffee I have today!

Every Saturday morning, he and I would venture off to this wonderful doughnut store. I can still picture it in my mind! after choosing our doughnuts, we would sit on the big diner stools where our doughnuts would be brought to us on plates. my dad would have his cup of coffee and I would have a glass of milk. he would always add just a bit of coffee to my milk, thus giving name to 'coffee milk.' I felt like such a big girl, drinking my coffee with Daddy! those days were so precious to me!!! :)

after breakfast, we would head to the car wash where we would drive through the big machines as they washed and buffed the car to a sparkly clean. do you remember those drive thru car washes? not many around these days.

So leave it to Elisabeth Bell to pop along with a stamp that sums it all up and brings those memories right back to the forefront of my heart again! Just in time for Father's Day, here is "Daddy's Peeker." again, these two could have been me and my Daddy! :) for so many years, it was just he and I.

my card uses papers from the Basic Grey Boxer collection, vintage buttons, coffee die from Verve and main die by My Favorite Things, and a piece of inked cardboard.

What better way to begin the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's Summer blog hop than with a card honoring my Dad for Father's Day. :) sure do miss him. since my birthday and Father's Day were always either on the same day or within a day or so of each other, it's a special time for me. :) love ya, Daddy - always and forever!

thank you for stopping by! enjoy your weekend!

Vintage French Coffee and Blog Candy!

Coffee of the Day - Pumpkin Spice

Happy Saturday, and welcome to Day 2 of the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop! Grab a cup of something hot and tasty while you read along.....  :)

Today's card uses a wonderful image of French coffee by Create with TLC. I found some wonderful vintage French coffee ads online that seemed to go perfectly with it. a bit of ink distressing around the edges and they were ready to go!

digital papers are from the Prima Collage collection, sunflowers are from my stash while the others are by Wild Orchid Crafts, gorgeous pearl flourish is by Kaiserkraft, and lace & buttons are vintage.  the main image die is by Spellbinders and 'Coffee' die is by Verve Stamps. I covered portions of the word 'coffee' with crystal effects to make it stand out a bit. the main image was sprayed with my ink squirty tool by SU!  oh yes, the border was cut with a Tim Holtz die.
