Day Two 2017 Spring Coffee Hop




Do you hear 70s music playing while looking at my card????


cuz I do!


Tie Dye is not just retro, it's my childhood.

Papertrey March 2017 Blog Hop Challenge



I pulled teal, pink,purples and navy from the inspiration photo here.







Inlaid dies seemed the way to go.


Today is significantly warmer than it's been, and I can almost remember what flowers look like!!!

 Will I sneeze? Probably, but hey, gotta take the good with the bad right?


I say it's worth the flowers~
 

Blessings~

Happy Spring Coffee





Whenever I make a coffee card, I have one friend in mind.


She's the first person I knew to own a Keurig and her setup was divine!!!!

I haven't seen her in ages but this gives me an opportunity to send a "thinking of you" card.

Hey guys, we made it to Wednesday (the 4th one!) in March.


I say that's a YAY!!! :)

Have a good one.





Happy Gum



I've wanted to ink up this stamp set for awhile~so I strayed from a typical rainbow scheme to go with what was stranded on my desk.

Green is the go to color lately~

Thank you, cardmaking challenges and stamp companies for the motivation and inspiration~

I played with color today~

My daughter is fearless with her colors when it comes to attire, so I created this fusion for her.






(there's a display of green lining the bottom ;) )



Goodness what a week it's been so far.

The weather alone has been an adventure~from 30s to 50s and back again.

Every day is a do-over and I'm grateful for it. ;)


Blessings friends~
