I Love Java...

One last entry for the Spring Coffee Lovers' Blog Hop:

So many excellent entries!

This idea has been PERCOLATING in my brain all week... :)

Song lyric mash-up between Manhattan Transfer and Cole Porter. Can you name those tunes? The ransom alphabet message should help.

Coffee cup stamp and die from The Stamps of Life.

Alpha dies, assorted ones from the stash.

Go pour yourself a cup, and check out the entries. Link-up open until midnight, Pacific time.

Happy crafting,

Life begins after...COFFEE!

Slightly warmer temps and longer days...can spring be far behind?

 

The  Coffee Loving Cardmakers don't think so...

They have organized another fun hop. The linky is open through this Friday, March 6th. There are lots of prizes from some wonderful sponsors, and tons of inspiration from the participants.

I broke out some caffeinated supplies from Verve Stamps: the Coffee Stamp set and coordinating word die.

I planted those coffee beans in some watercolour soil, "watered" them with some warm coffee (mug coloured with Copics), surrounded the panel with some sunshiny Bokey patterned paper, and watched those fresh plants sprout.  The sentiment says it all.

 

The card layout is based on Freshly Made Sketches #175.

I flipped the sketch, adding ribbon to the cursive "coffee." Snail courtesy of Paper Smooches "Green Thumb."
