Muse Challenge 137: Cheers

I've been crafting up a storm and just waiting for just a smidge of natural lighting to take my photos.   Most of you know that I love to design coffee cards:

cardstock:  recollections/110/white, stampin' up basic black, chickaniddy crafts goldie lox  paper:  pebbles happy day  other:  top dog dies mini coffee, winnie & walter cheers cutaway

Today's card was inspired by Michele's card

Muse Challenge #137

I was inspired by:

• repetitive pattern
• gold
• single word die cut
• coordinating image (with background)

The patterned paper is by Pebbles.  The Cheers cutaway is Winnie & Walter and the Mini Coffee cup is Top Dog Dies.

Yesterday was the Impress Holiday Open House.  They are always so much fun to go to and bonus points if you score one of their awesome goodie bags:

I always say I'm not going to buy much and then I literally forget that I say that:

I decided it was time for me to buy die cutting staples:

squares

circles

ovals

rectangles

The other stuff hopped into my basket....I should have picked up the Mama Elephant Reindeer Games when I was in NY but I didn't and I regretted it...the new Pretty Pink Posh tags will be perfect with them.  Gah, check out that sweet Poppy Stamps snow globe set...yes, there are coffee mugs.
