National Coffee Day!!!

I went up to New Hampshire last night to visit my friend Cathy.  Today we stopped by four Coffee Shops in Celebration of National Coffee Day!!  (Like we wouldn't go to Coffee Shops any other day... teehee)... 
The first shop was in a Barn - posted on the wall was this sign...
Started our outing off with a few laughs =)
We later went on to Waterville Valley and ended at my favorite New Hampshire Coffee Shop - Cafe Monte Alto - we had a caffein-ated day!!

I got home at 9:00 and quickly got to my desk to make a card for the Fresh Brewed Design Challenge in celebration of National Coffee Day!  I was soo glad to get home in time!!  The papers are from my stash.  The ribbon is Close to My Heart.  The image is Fresh Brewed Designs and the Sentiment is Verve.  I kept it clean and simple and used the Sketch from {Freshly Made} Sketches.

 

Thanks for checking in - and... hope I can get to sleep soon (I ended the day with a LARGE Pumpkin Spice coffee from Dunkin Donuts while driving home,,,  Oh dear...

FBD September Facebook Challenge

Fresh Brewed Designs has a great Monthly Facebook Challenge.  There are Free Digis to use - how awesome is that?!?   This month the Challenge is to create a card with... something extra!!!  For this card I used the "Happy Fall Girl" Digi.  I chose to make a 3-D card for my something extra.  I am also entering this card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes.  I typed the Sentiment on my computer - "Pumpkin Whoopie Pies... Pumpkin Bread... Pumpkin..."  This Digi makes me think that she is sitting there planning what to bake next!!  I have a friend this card would be perfect for!!  Her pumpkin Whoopie Pies are to DIE for!!!  (Yes Cathy, it's you =)  The sentiment inside the card says "Welcome Fall" - for my friends card it should say:  "So Many Pumpkins... So Little Time!!!"  Guess I will need to make another =)

Make a Wish...

Yesterday turned out to be quite a productive day and certainly a busy day!!  Last night I made birthday cards for two sisters who share the same birthday... 4 years apart!!  The first is for Dana who is turning 12.  I used the Sketch from The Sweet Stop and a new Digi from Fresh Brewed Designs. 

I used a retired paper pack from Close to My Heart - Caboodle.  I love the soft colors =) The ribbon is also CtMH.  I colored the image with my Copics and fussy cut it out and mounted it with Pop Darts - looks like it's flying high!!  The sentiment is from Smooches!!



The second card is for Lilly turning 8.  What 8 year old wouldn't think a trip to the Candy Store was TOTALLY COOL??  I used this cute image from The Stamping Boutique and colored it with Copics.  I created some layers with some cute paper from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy Girl.  It kind of reminds me of candy...  The ric rac is from my stash and the sentiment from Smooches.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Fresh Brewed August FB Challenge

Hey coffee loving friends!!  I got my Digi today for the August Challenge at the Fresh Brewed Facebook page and made my card tonight.  I love this Digi and know that I will be using it again and again!!  There are some great Digi's at the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop - check it out!!
I chose Sketch #1 for my card and some fun papers from the Echo Park paper pad Note to Self.  I colored the image with my Copics and then fussy cut it out and mounted it with Pop Dots.  The ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is a sweet little poem I wrote for this card: 

   Would you like to fly with me?
   In a hot air balloon so we could see...
   Sunshine, clouds and tree tops too -
   with plenty of coffee for me and you!

This has been a fun Challenge and a great Blog Hop - Thanks so much Heather!!
