COME FOR COFFEE!!

Today I have a fun tag to share!  

I had gotten these cute little wood embellishments (by Prima) that focus on coffee. 

I also had these fun stickers about coffee 

by Hampton Arts that I thought 

would be fun to use on the tag.

It's a bit hard to read in the photo 

but here is what it has to say - 

Coffee...helping people do stupid things

 faster with more energy!

This is Audrey.  She is from the 

Julie Nutting Decade Doll stamps series. 

 Audrey is from the 1950's.  
I thought she would be perfect for this theme!

I am entering this tag in:

Word Art Wednesday challenge #202 - 

Anything Goes

Whoopsie Daisy 9/7 challenge - 

Add embellishments

Cupcake Inspirations # 328 

with this color combo 

and besides - what goes perfect with cupcakes - coffee!!

I just found out from a friend that there is a new group for Coffee Loving Cardmakers!  I am going to enter my tag there too! 

I hope you have enjoyed stopping by and having a cup of coffee with Audrey and me!

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!

From a wonderful trip to Ohio. I met some awesome online friends 'in real life', stayed with Robin of Robin's Scrap Nest and her awesome family and then went to a fabulous fun 4 day crop at Rivercrest Barn!  There I met many more online friends 'in real life' and had lots of fun.  There will be a batch of layouts with photos from there coming soon.  

For tonite I am sharing the book I made while I was there as a gift for Robin.

I had hoped to get everyone that was there to sign in on this page but I know that a few did not get to sign. 

If you look carefully below you can see that the word SMILE is embossed on the box on the right.

It's hard to see but the bottom block has an epoxy that reads "Don't squat with your spurs on!"

I thought the 12" embossing folder used below was just perfect as if you look you will see there is a robin on the bottom!

My next page was done using the layout for Scrapping Everyday Miracles Mini-Crop Challenge #2.

The Sketch:

Don't you love my new embossing folder on the mats below?  I know it will quickly become one of my favorites.  The flower is wood!

The stars I used here are burlap and the two sparkly things holding up the acrylic word are tiny clothespins!

This was the perfect opportunity to use this embossing folder.  Rivercrest barn has the most spectacular chandeliers everywhere throughout the barn!

The cute little animal paper piecings are from a swap that I was in years ago in a group called Kroppin Kids.  So happy I finally found the perfect place to use them.

I hope you enjoyed getting to see my book and wait until I start sharing the fun photos of the crop!  We had a truly awesome time!

I am also going to share this gift with Word Art Wednesday for their Anything Goes challenge #151.
