3 cups of coffee



I love Karen's little stories on her blog posts and I keep thinking I should come up with something witty... I think today's would be go something like, "we awoke with a startle, everything was moving. After the earthquake finally stopped we had a hard time going back to sleep, so I started my morning a bit groggy and needed 3 cups of coffee." Or maybe I'd say something like "she always loves drinking her coffee out of the favorite mug with her bathrobe every morning, yet this morning after she's had her caffeine fix she procrastinated (again) from all things and made a card, dressed head to toe in her ski gear while she waited for her ride."

Okay, but back to me... this card is for 365 Cards' Friday Favorite (favorite food or drink challenge) and uses Kim's Off the Wall Craftiness colors. Karen's got a sketch for the Practicing Creativity September release and while I didn't intend to make a card with the sketch in mind, obviously Karen's card was on my brain b/c my card looks a lot like the sketch. I put the sentiment on the inside though (it says "I like it a latte.").

Materials: Inkadinkado Dawn Hauser coffee cup stamp, Stampin Up Red designer paper, blue paper, misc. ribbon/yarn from stash, Versacolor red ink

Hope everyone is ok after your scare, I think I would have needed more than three cups to get back to normal! Love your card. I especially enjoy the juxtaposition of the perfect grid lines against the curves of the torn paper.
