Sharing some Joy Clair...

 

Happy Monday everyone! Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog with this sassy card! Martha from Joy Clair offered the Design Team some newly released digi stamps to play with and I couldn't *wait* to print this one off and get in to my crafty space today. Our ground is white here in central Alberta, CANADA and the temps are around -13C so it was a great day to light some candles, brew some coffee and get crafty! :) 

I started by printing the whole set twice - once on Xpress It! copic paper and then once on some plaid paper for paper piecing the sleeve on the to-go cup. I added lots of layers and some color dots and all done! Super cute! Thanks again Martha! 

Thanks for stopping in today to see what I've been up to - be sure to hop on over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for more coffee-infused, crafty inspiration :) Happy Monday! Cheers!

A Cup of Thanks...

 

Happy Monday, crafty friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend - we spent it working around the yard and dodging rain storms! LOL...seems like we can't get a break from them and they are not nice storms...they have been causing damage! Hopefully we get a nice, long, DRY fall and we can get our harvest season all done :) 

 Ok, onto today's business! I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers BLOG today sharing this card I made from a new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Press On. It is from the new Holiday Mini Catty. I went onto Pinterest to see what others have done with this set and O.M.G. I found this super cute CAS card that Robyn Cardon from My Pink Stamper created and I HAD to CASE it - just the way it is! Thank you so much for the cute idea, Robyn - I will *definitely* be making more of these in various colors! Here's hers:

 

And here's mine:

   

I did exactly as Robyn, except I left my sentiment in Melon Mambo, not black and I added some glitter to my little heart on the middle cup - so sweet!!!

   

 

 Thank you so much for stopping in today to see what I have been up to ;) I cannot wait to make more cards with this set ;) Cheers!!

"Coffee & Love"

Happy Monday everyone :) I hope everyone has had a great weekend - it's been a bit of a challenging summer here with lots of rain storms and I'm trying to get some harvesting done in my garden ;) Raspberries are coming in great, beans and peas are doing amazing and if the rain would just hold off for more than a couple days, it would make things A LOT easier ha ha!! Oh well, not too much we can do about it right?!

I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today with this beauty from Graciellie Design called Coffee and Love! I had an extra image printed in my "extras" container so I quickly colored that up while my daughter was here and got the card done while we visited :) I love these images - flowers and coffee, what's not to love?! :) 

 

 

Thanks for stopping in today to see what I've created - I hope you have a fabulous week ahead with some fun, creative time in your crafty spaces....cheers!!!
