Christmas Furry Friends

Well they are not all furry but they are cute critters so here are the first few of my August CCC15 cards, I know I need to do the July ones!

Coffee Lovers Bloghop

If you want to check out my FOSTV post please pop down to the post below.

Today I am taking part in the Coffee Lovers blog hop (Amy Tsuruta is the woman behind this fun event).  Check it out here

I actually feel I am participating for my niece and nephew who couldn't survive without their coffee.  In 6th form that certainly applied to me but now - my coffee drinking is after an evening meal out or when in the USA.

We have some really cool sponsors for the hop with fantastic goodies!! Random winners from the hop participants will get some fun coffee-themed goodies See all the prize packages here - http://cutscropscreativity.com/2014/09/coffee-lovers-bloghop/

 We have been asked to answer a few questions:

 1. When did you start drinking coffee?
In the 6th form because I liked black coffee but not black tea and with no refrigeration we couldn't have milk.

 2. What is favorite brand (you can name up to three).
I don't have a favourite brand but I need to mention Miko coffee as my nephew works for them.

3. What is the most amazing coffee that you had? Remember where and when?
The most welcome coffee was one we had in a Starbucks in Washington on a chilly Sunday morning on a short visit to the city a few years ago.  We had been walking about but chilled through we went in to find cosy chairs, hot steamy coffee and Sunday papers.  It was simple black coffee but it was a real treat.

 4. If I don't drink my needed coffee, I will...survive, tea however is a different matter!

After all the chatter here is my card. It uses stamps from Impression Obsession and Marks Finest Papers and was coloured with Copics. and a gold pen.  A few key gems were added to - these girlie mugs needed that!

 

Here is a closer look at the central panel

 

 

Enjoy your cuppa wherever you are today.

 

Coffee in the Morning

and all day long?

Actually I am not a big coffee drinker but this sentiment does make me laugh and I include tea too!  I have had this set for some time but I can't remember who makes it. I think it might be Impression Obsession.

I have used Spellbinders and Cuttlebug dies and coloured with Copics.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Can't say NO

When one of the senior executives of your company asks if you have "a card in your box for wife, likes golf, birthday" it doesn't pay to say NO.  However I had nothing suitable so asked if he would like something made.  He said yes and said he needed it by March 1st.  However he then told me he wasn't in the office except Monday and I am not in until Thursday!  Fortunately one of my team live nearby so now this is done I can drop it round to him and he has agreed to take it in for me.  Why do I do these crazy things?

The image is from Impression obsession, the sentiment on the golf ball is from LOTV and the one on the flag is computer generated.  The designer papers are from Paper Cellar and the image is coloured with Copics and sponged with Old Paper distress ink.  I have used lace along the border and pearls along the top and the flag so I am entering this card for this Sunday's Sentimental Sundays challenge.
