Love You a Latte

Happy weekend Everyone,

When I visit my friend Lola's house, it often smells of freshly brewed coffee......but its not what you think! 

Its coffee stained papers baking in the oven. She uses them in her fabulous Junk Journals. I was lucky enough to receive some.

I thought they would be perfect to use for January's Kraft plus challenge.

A CAFFEINE HIT

I layered up all the papers which included a doily and tissue paper on Kraft to create this card. I used 'Love You a Latte' cricut cartridge to cut the silhouette image. Typo use to sell tins of retro looking Polaroid cards....  perfect to complete the coffee shop scene.

Happy Creating

The shabby tea room #243

Hello

Baby its Cold Outside is the theme of the new challenge at 'The Shabby Tea Room'

Don't you just love this inspiration photo! 

I can't wait to see what you create!

Here is what I came up with.

I have used 'Valentine toppers' from ' The Cutting Cafe'. Love the pre-printed sentiments!
Love U a Latte cricut cartridge was used to cut the cup shape card. I added some texture with a  felt flower, a heart, which I stitched around and some pretty lace for the bow.
Be sure to stop by The Shabby Tea Room to see what the rest of the DT have created.

New Year.......New Look! For my house that is! Three days ago we ripped up the carpet from our lounge dinning area......We have been busy painting, getting ready for a new floor.

In between coats of paint drying, I'll gradually make my way around to see what you have been up to.

Happy 2015

The Shabby Tea Room # 168

Hello.......Its Monday, time to show you the new challenge at The Shabby Tea Room!

This week I am the host ..........."Shabby Sunshine" is the theme. I  love the simplicity of this pretty photo.

 I would like you to create a card/project using the colours Aqua , Yellow , Flowers and add twine.

Sometimes its fun just trying to recreate a part of the photo........

'Love You a Latte' is the cricut cartridge I have used to cut the jug shape. With my Gypsy I joined the jug shapes together at the handle to make the card shape. The flowers are from 'Mothers Day Bouquet'.
I created the stripes using Washi Tape.........love that stuff!

Bugaboo digi stamps is the sponsor for this challenge - The little tag is called 'Dandelions and Butterflies.

'I'm Grateful For You' stamp is from Paper Sweeties

Stuck on U...Card Sketch

Hello..............I hope you can join us for the latest card sketch at "Stuck on U Sketches"
The Design Team have been so creative.......I really enjoy seeing how different each one of us interprets   the sketch. Make sure you stop by Stuck on U for some fabulous inspiration.

Here is my take on it.

And here is the fun sketch I followed



I have used pretty Pion design papers and my cricut. The tea pot is from 'Love U a Latte', the scallop half circle and stamp frame are from 'Art Philosopy'.

I've been at the school canteen all day.......arrived home and remembered I had not scheduled this post.
I'm off to make my self a cup of tea, before I have to think about dinner.

Thankyou so much for stopping by...........I'm hoping to get lots of crafting done this week, I hope you can too.
