So nice to get some relaxing craft time in!  I finally had the chance to play with this month's Be Inspired Challenge.  I combined it with a fun sketch from Just Add Ink.  I just love this kitty-cat from The Alley Way Stamps!  Thanks for stopping by!  ~Debbie~

Coffee Lover Bloghop!

I am so excited to be participating in the Coffee Lover's Bloghop!  Before the introduction of frappuccinos, I wasn't a big fan of drinking coffee.  I always loved smelling it though.  I would purposely walk down the coffee aisle just to stop and smell it.  Then I was introduced to cold blended coffees at Gloria Jeans while vacationing in Matazlan, Mexico.  I was totally hooked!  Now my hubby and I have our own frappuccino maker and have one every morning.  I prefer caramel flavored, while he goes for the pumpkin spice.  On weekends, we either go to Starbucks or to a local gourmet market complete with a java bar--Pirate O's.  Besides liking my coffee cold, I LOVE all the coffee images available in the crafting world.  This card sports coffee cups from The Alley Way's Breakfast Club.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts' Need Caffeine? set.  Aren't they wonderful?  Be sure to link up your new coffee-themed project at Cuts, Crops, & Creativity today for a chance to win some amazing prizes!

Additional Challenges I'm entering this card:

Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge #218

BIC #57

Challenge 66 - Designer's Choice - Beverages / Drinks

     

Make a Change!

My last card for tonight as I am suppose to be getting some work done for tomorrow!  This card uses the Techno Stamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch #332 and the TAWS-Be Inspired photo challenge #57. I loved the dots and their colors, so I pulled them in using The Alley Ways stamp sets--Background Check and randomly colored some dots in with Spectrum Noir markers.  I also liked that cute onesie, so I used TAWS Tiny Treasures.  The sentiment and 1 penny came from TAWS-Change set.  I think this would be the cutest 1st birthday card, so I'm entering it into Seize the Birthday's challenge! I pulled it together with a few little dot embellies!  A fun, quick birthday card!  Thanks, as always, for dropping by!  Debbie

I opted not to add the toppings this week, which was Sweet Treats.

A Stack of Java Cups--Thanks a Latte

 

Here's a stack of java cups that have all been paper pieced.  I used  The Alley Way's Breakfast Club stamps.  I used the Be Inspired #56 photo for inspiration.  I mimicked the triangular enclosure by stacking the cups, and I used colors from the blankets for my paper selection.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Debbie
