Thanks a Latte

Hey y'all! Hope you're all having a great week, so far?!! My week has been nothing but busy! Thankfully, my husband has tomorrow and Friday off! I'm looking to really escape! ;)


Okay, so today's card! It's a fun one, if I might say so myself! :) I saw this week's Casology challenge and was wanting to play again! I thought about this one. I was just gonna simple and do the whole drink on a card thing....but oh, nooooo...That would have been just too easy for me, right?! lol Well, here's what I did!


No die cutting, here! Nope! I used my paper cutter and somehow I managed to get my 'cup' right, the FIRST time!!! That really is a first, for me! If only you knew, how many pieces of cardstock I go through!

So after cutting my cup, I somehow managed to cut my white 'lid' and 'sleeve' to fit! Yeah, that's another first too! lol I added my few stamps. Colored in my coffee beans with colored pencils. Then added some ink around the edges of my sleeve.



I can't even believe my vision, came together! Yeah, that's somewhat a first too! lol

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!! :)
