Fall-Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...

"It's the MOST wonderful time of the year......" did ya start singing?!? I love that song....and well, it really *IS* the most wonderful time of the year - it's time for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Whoop! Whoop! Who doesn't LOVE coffee and crafts?!?

I have Saturday free from "needing to be somewhere" so I am hoping to light some candles, brew some delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte coffee and get inky!! I would love to make some more projects for the hop - it really is my favorite time of the year! This hop is so FUN and chalk-full of amazing talent and stamping goodies to help enable us! LOL

For my 1st project for the hop, I decided to color up this little doll from C.C. Designs called Latte Lucy...she's so precious! 

I started by stamping her and coloring her with my Copics then fussy cut her out and made a cute little scene behind her with some hill and snowflake dies; then added some sparkle and shine with sequins and glitter gum drops:

Peppermint Kisses is the perfect sentiment as she is enjoying a peppermint latte from Starbucks...lol...mmm sounds delicious doesn't it?! 

 I hope you have been hopping along and leaving comments.... lots of great prizes up for grabs from our list of amazing sponsors!

That's it for me today - be sure to stay tuned as I will be making more yummy coffee-themed projects over the next few days! Be sure to start at the beginning of the hop HERE and leave comments for a chance to win some amazing prizes! Link up with us and earn even more chances to win! CHEERS!

4 CC #431 {Anything Goes!}

Welcome back to another "4 Crafty Chicks" challenge. This week, it is our Crazy Egg Challenge and Tangii is our hostess-with-the-mostess. As there are 5 Thursdays in November, we throw out an Anything Goes challenge and do not have a twist. It's a creative free for all! Fun! 

4 CC #431 ANYTHING GOES

I really love this Happy Birthday die from Stampin' Up! and I figured this bright and cheerful background needed a golden sentiment - so what a perfect one to use, right?!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Wow, November 28th already...where oh where does the time go?! It was JUST summer time a blink ago wasn't it? And now, the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations is upon us! I haven't even started shopping - ACK! But...on a good note, ALL my Christmas cards are out in the mail as of tomorrow. Including this beauty I am bringing you today over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers: 

I started by stamping the sentiment and coffee cup with Cherry Cobbler and cut out the mug with it's matching die. I believe this is from Lil' Inker Designs...

 I added the layers - plaid paper, woodgrain strip, vellum circle, greenery, ribbon, then I popped up the sentiment and coffee cup to give it some extra dimension.

I LOVE plaid and these colors are so pretty together! It reminds me of a traditional Christmas...I added a few sequins to give it a bit of bling and finish it off :)

Thanks for stopping in today and seeing what I've been up to! Enjoy your Wednesday! Cheers!

 

4 CC #430 {Congratulations!}

Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday! This week, it's my turn to throw out the twist for our Anything Goes challenge and the theme I am going with is "Congratulations!"

4 CC #426 {CONGRATULATIONS}

Isn't this little panda just so darling?! We made this card at one of our monthly stamping club get-togethers a while back and I love this paper and color combo together! I would never have thought to put it all together but it looks awesome!

4 CC #427 {Christmas}

Welcome back to another "4 Crafty Chicks" challenge. This week, it is Leanne's turn to be our hostess-with-the-mostess. She is looking for us to show off some of our projects with CHRISTMAS themes! FUN :) 

4 CC #427 "CHRISTMAS"

My card was made at a class last moth that a few girls and I signed up for and it was so fun! We made quite a few projects that day and you will be seeing more in the near future ;) 

We did some inking with a brayer on the embossing folder for the top part of this card and it turned out beautifully - it goes so well with the plaid paper! The green Christmas word is a die cut and we stamped "wishes" with red then added some punched out stars. I think it's so pretty!
