Kit Cats and Coffee


My fabulous friend and fellow Starbucks addict, Kelly, has organized a small band of gals together into the "Kit Cats". Every month a different Kit Cat girl picks an image and some DP, sends it out to the rest of the group, and we each make a card. The fun of this is seeing how similarly or differently we all interpret it. There are 6 of us all together, and we'll post on the 6th of the following month. Love it!
For August, Kelly chose this cute and funky image from Stampavie. I made one of the gals blonde and one brunette - my vision of Kelly and myself sittin', sippin', smilin' and sharin' for hours on end. One day, Miss Kelly! {{{{HUGS}}}} I'm not sure which collection the rich and yummy DP is from, but they were included in this month's kit, along with some flowers and blingy brads. I actually made new flowers (thanks to a long term loan of punches from my sister), and am saving the ones from Miss Kelly for another project ;)
Hope you have fun visiting each of the Kit Cat gals' creation! I know that's where I'm headed next! :)

Hey chica! HOLY COW I love this card! It is so warm and yummy, just like a 'Bucks pumpkin latte! Mmm, I can almost smell it! I love that you created your own flowers from the DP and that you used the DP to mat your image. Your coloring perfectly compliments the rich DP and it gives the card a festive late fall feeling. LOVE IT! OMGosh how great will it be when we can *all* sit down on that big porch and enjoy our morning coffee together! {{HUGS}}
