Happy National Coffee Day!!!  I hope you are sipping on a wonderful cup of java! I know I am (Italian Roast with Amerretto Creamer).  If you want to start from the beginning head on over to Chaitali's Blog for the main post.  

Now a little about my coffee history!!!  I have been drinking coffee since I was young...at that time I was probably the only one to actually bring it to high school. Most kids were like yuk! Eww! Coffee!  HAHA little did they know about the magical beans!!  Right now my favorite is Dark Roasts, Italian, French, Hawaiian, etc... I have a K-Cup machine so Tully's, Green Mountain and Starbucks are my favorite Brands.  The MOST AMAZING coffee I have ever had recently was at Coffee Underground in Downtown Greenville, SC. It was a Raspberry Latte, though it had a cooler name that I can't remember.  I was on vacation at a Scrapbooking Crop with my Besties!!  For the last tie bit..if I don't get my coffee...I do go all Godzilla on anything in my way!!! ;-)

Here's my card...it looks so delicious!!!

Paper Smooches - Anything Goes!

Hey all!  I am here today with a card for Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge Anything Goes.  I just got my hands on the new camera set from Paper Smooches.  I decided to splatter a little Mr. Huey's  and use up some of my ever growing washi tape collection. 

I dug out some items I have been hoarding for a while!  The graph tag I got a while back from Tuesday Morning and the Silver heart was a gift from a friend. 

I colored the camera with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a water brush. I just LOVE that look! 

Happy Scrappin!

Need a Little Saving?....I do!

Today, has been a very rough day on our household. One of our fur babies crossed the rainbow bridge. It is very hard for us since he was like our child.   Last night was the last night I had to craft with him....so this card I made is purrfect for today and

......the Paper Smooches Trend Watch Challenge. 

I only own two sets that have anything to do with Ocean from Paper Smooches.   I stared at my sets and  "wham" the idea popped into my head.  What if I can get the Life Saver around the cute little turtles neck?  That would be amazing! I know, your thinking it too!

I hope you enjoyed my card today.

An early start on Xmas cards...

I have started working on my Christmas cards. I don't give out that many, so they are usually one of a kind masterpieces. I decided to work this card into a challenge, the Designer Draft challenge over at Paper Smooches Sparks. I just love the weenie dog on this set and could use it all the time! I am a mom to a weenie dog so what more could you expect. :-)
