If this is your first stop, please jump over to Carolyn's blog to start at the beginning.I am soooooooooooooo stoked to be part of the Fresh Brewed Designs new release hop! Heather is just the sweetest and funniest gal, and I've had such a great time getting to know her through the Busy Beauties DT. Her images are so cute, fun & easy to work with and I was super thrilled to get my markers on 'em. Especially this one, Coffee Talk, because coffee has been my salvation lately between work, a professional exam (which, PTL I passed Monday), and the mere thought of the holidays. I know lots of you are in the same boat, and I thought this card would be perfect with a Starbucks gift card tucked inside.
I wrote & generated the sentiment on the computer - I couldn't resist because my first thought when I saw this was how well-endowed our latte lovely is! LOL! The paper was an easy choice because after so much caffeine, she is definitely bright and vibrant (and if you've got the coffee jitters, the pattern kind of buzzes - LOL)! The silver-tone coffee mug brad was a gifty from last year's Secret Santa and the light brown brads were part of a hostess gifty earlier this year. This card was truly a pleasure to work on and came together effortlessly, thanks to Heather's awesome image! (I just wish the color on her blouse wasn't reading so red - IRL it's a dark pink. I guess that's what I get for snapping pics on the cell phone.)
I hope you'll continue to hop and visit my gal Kadie next! Don't forget to leave comments along the way to be eligible for some fabby free images! The hop is open Wednesday and Thursday, so send all your friends! :D
TFL! I'm off to get my java jolt!
