coffee...because adulting is hard!

2017 fall hop

Happy Sunday everyone! Welcome back to my blog to check out what I've been up to...

The Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop started Friday and it's always one of my favorite events of the year in blogland!!! Being a coffee lover AND Fall colors lover, this is so much creative inspiration for me (plus, I always increase my coffee stamps/dies stash a little every year seeing everyone's amazing cards! lol) and I love hopping through to see it all!

For my card today, I used the oh-so-awesome But First Coffee set from Echo Park and some yummy plaid paper from Your Next Stamp

I left this card very CAS as I love the plaid and that sentiment and cup are what I wanted to be the main focus - added a few gumdrops and wa-laaaa! Done.....

If you haven't checked out the hop, you really, really should - it's amazing!  Click HERE to start at the beginning and see all the wonderful Sponsors and Super Sponsors! Happy crafting!

Showin' off our {RIBBONS} at Sweet Stampin'!


Welcome back to my blog! The cold snap is still lingering here in central Alberta, CANADA - I sure hope the weatherman is right and that it's gonna break here soon! Thermometer has been reading -36C in the mornings and with the windchill, -43C! Brrrrr!

Are you ready for another "theme" challenge?! The girls over at Sweet Stampin' are issuing "RIBBONS" as this week's theme....please be fore-warned that this post is picture-heavy! I had A TON OF FUN creating for this challenge...as you are about to see:


 I made a treat box complete with 3 gift tags; all from some new goodies I bought from Reverse Confetti!  Here are the pictures up close - showing you each one individually (along with all the ribbon):




Here's a shot of all the tags together:


Our monthly sponsor this month is The Ribbon Girl

And our weekly sponsor for this RIBBONS challenge is Stamp and Create

 

 The treat box is made from a die called Sweet Treat Tent and it was so easy and FUN to create! Here are a few pics for more details:

 


The stamp sets I used are called Tinsel and Trim and Bring on the Merry from Reverse Confetti. The designer paper is 'tis The Season from EP and I used various ribbons, twines and metallic cord from my stash ;)

I'd like to enter this treat box/tag set into the following challenges:

Creative Knockouts - Christmas Splendor
One Crazy Stamper - Holiday/Winter
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Did you survive the whole blog post?! Sorry it was so long, but I thoroughly enjoyed creating all of these wonderful tags and treat box with my new goodies from RC and wanted to show them off! Thanks so much for takin' a peek and please, run and grab some ribbon, and come get inky with us over at Sweet Stampin' (don't forget to stamp - either with ink or a digi) and link it up at the challenge blog!! Cheers!
