Warm Wishes

Hi Friends,

Oh my, I nearly missed this Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!  I've been away from social media for the last few months and only logged back on two days ago.  Thankfully, I managed to find a couple of hours to put a very simple card together.  I haven't crafted for nearly six months, due to health issues, so it was great to get back to it and to colour again.

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn Stamps - Thanks a Latte

Lawn Fawn Dies - Thanks a Latte

MFT Die-namics - Stitched Circle Scallop Frames

Doodlebug Design Paper Pad - Kraft in Color - Color

Digital Paper

Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy the hop.

Hugs Ax

Perk Up Soon

Hi Friends,

I  finally managed to finish off a fourth card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - yippee.  

This cute little girl from Pure Innocence MFT Stamps has been sitting, coloured up, on my craft table for the last two weeks.  When I coloured her I had no particular card design in mind and when I sat down to create a card I drew a blank.  I must have played around with different ideas for her for two days and was going to give up. I then decided to grab some complimentary scrap pattern out of my scrap box and work with it whether I liked the result or not!  Here is the final result....I don't hate it but I don't really love it either, but I'm glad I got her on a card!

Supplies:

MFT Stamps - PI Steeped in Love (retired)

MFT Die-namics - PI Steeped in Love (retired)

Hero Arts Design Blocks - Designer Woodgrain

MFT Die-namics - Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle Stax

MFT Die-namics - Slanted Sentiment Strips

DoodleBug Designs - Swiss Dot Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 Paper Pad

Wooden Heart
