2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day One




Hello and Welcome to my blog!  We're celebrating Day One of the 2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop!  New to the hop?  There are tons of Sponsors and inspiration.  Want a chance to win?  Link up a newly created Fall/Winter theme project that features coffee, tea and/or cocoa.  There are Sponsors and Hoppers that have linked up that are doing separate giveaways!

I'm your Hop Hostess and so happy that you're joining in the fun!  Whether you're hopping, linking or sponsoring, we appreciate you!  My friend Chaitali and I have a mutual addiction to coffee so when she asked if I'd like to be part of a blog hop to celebration National Coffee Day 2014, I said Yes!  The rest is history, there's now a:

Here's my first set of cards with hopefully more to come.  The logistics of running the hop is time consuming, as it gets larger there are more moving pieces so I have less time to design during this time.  It's all a labor of love, coffee + crafts make the world a happier place♥️

These cards feature Super Sponsor Right at Home's Cuppa Friendship stamp set:


I combined the images with the Echo Park Paper - Celebrate Winter collection, purchased from Super Sponsor The Cutting Cafe.


A fun clean + crisp design that compliments both the stamped images and the pattern paper!


I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches:


Be on the lookout for a giveaway!

A big shout out to Super Sponsors:


Thanks so much for stopping by and happy hopping!

I may not always comment but I thoroughly enjoy when your projects show up on my newsfeed. Always a pleasure to see what inspiration you bring to the masses! I'm so happy to have a small part, linking up and just hanging with old friends. So proud of how this community has grown and the "dynamic duo" has built something amazing here.
Amy, thanks so much for doing this. I'm so happy to be a sponsor and am thrilled to be one of the crafters joining in all the fun. Love your card, that girl is way too cute.
