A Cuppa Love 4 U!

Good Morning my sweets! It's mid-week and that means the weekend is almost here!

Even better than that is my exciting news that I am now a DT member for

 Freshly Brewed Challenges!

So honored and excited to be able to create with Heather's Java-liscious designs at Fresh Brewed Designs. 

For my introductory creation I used Warm My Heart Mug.

When  I saw this, I thought of Heather, as we've become great friends over crafting and our love of JAVA...hehehehe.

I kept it pretty CAS as I wanted the focus to be on the sweet image, and used soft pastel colors. Maybe, it is just me waiting for SPRING! ;o)

I colored the image with SN Markers and Moondust gellyroll on the sleeve stitching. 

 CS is from American Crafts & DP is from stash. Bling and flowers are also from my stash.

There are still a few days left to play along in our challenges!!
