Mojo Monday #263 Coffee Lover Card

I think this is my last post of the day. I decided to create a different card...meaning that I made a card that wasn't a holiday card. LOL

I was inspired by this week's sketch at Mojo Monday.

Recipe:
Paper: Grandma's Attic Collectibles (TPC Studio), Cocoa CS, Colonial White CS (CTMH); Stamps: Enjoy Life (CTMH); Clearly Sentimental About Coffee (MFT); Inks: Twilight, Cocoa (CTMH); Tools: Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer, Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (CTMH), Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug); Other: Brown Sparkles (CTMH), Chocolate Ribbon (American Crafts)

Today's card was inspired by the patterned paper. It made me think of newspaper. When I was a little girl, my dad used to read his morning paper with a cup of coffee (and a cigarette). He would always keep one eye on the clock to be sure he wasn't late for work. After he would leave, my brother and I would pretend to be daddy, by either "smoking" the cigarette stub or drinking the coffee dregs at the bottom of his cup. I can tell you that this experience cured my brother and I of ever wanting to drink coffee or smoke. LOL But the memory always makes me smile. 

One last reminder today for you; be sure to stop by here and leave a comment to win an awesome prize package.

Lucky Layout

I love how this layout turned out. I used a pattern from the new Make It From Your Heart (Volume I) book. 

Recipe:

Paper: Lucky, Outdoor Denim CS, Colonial White CS (CTMH); Stamps: Enjoy Life (CTMH); Inks: Sunset, Desert Sand, Outdoor Denim (CTMH); Tools: 2" Circle Punch, Micro-Tip Scissors; Other: Kraft Borders, Neutral Buttons, Journal Tag (CTMH)

I haven't decided yet if this will be a gift layout for a family member's scrapbook, or for my son's album. I've been having fun playing with some older papers, though. :)

Now, off to print some more pictures for some layouts that I scrapped this past year. Have a happy, crafty day!
