good coffee...great friends.





Today I'm super excited to spend time with some crafty friends (Kate & Kimberly)!  I'm crossing my fingers that I actually get some crafting done...and perhaps start on my holiday cards!

So here's today's card:

cardstock:  neenah, stampin' up lost lagoon  paper:  stampin' up  stamps:  taylored expressions/joe to go  ink:  hero arts hues, sharpie pen  other:  studio calico veneer, misc glitter washi

I used the Taylored Expressions, Joe to Go stamps & coordinating dies.  See that smidge of glitz?  That's washi tape!

I'm linking up to the following challenges:



So I threw this out as a challenge to some gals and Tonya nailed it HERE & Kimberly rocked it HERE. I have a new love for Stampin' Up and love a good challenge.



This one had my name written all over it.

...last but not least



Super sad to see it close...it's been such a great wealth of inspiration for me.  I was on the team but took the summer off.  I thought I would feature some of my favorites from the challenges:








Okay, that's it for me!

You make the most adorable coffee-themed projects ever, my friend! Love the sentiment on this one and love the glitzy heart peeking through the coffee cozy. The little wood hearts are the sweetest added touch.
Sorry to hear about the closing of Seize the Sketch. Your dt cards are really fabulous. :)

Love your coffee card, but then again, love all your cards, Amy. Had fun looking at your STS favies.

Wow-- look at that line-up! One that sticks out most is that AWESOME black and white anchor background card-- I just love the whole production. The black is totally striking!
