Coffee and Friends... Lauren's sketch
Yeah again! I got another sketch done. This one is Lauren Meader's sketch and this card turned out SO much better than yesterday's sketch card. I was about to redo it, but just decided not to - too lazy. The more I looked at it the uglier it got. Anyway, this one turned out great and I like it. It is coffee themed again, but then again, I love my coffee which reminds me I have to get the new Lattebella from Stamping Bella!!! I am lucky enough to have my very own manly barrista to serve me everyday, which reminds me that I will have to make my own this next week since my manly barrista is leaving me alone with the 3 kids during spring break. Do you feel sorry for me yet...
I basically followed Lauren's color scheme but tweaked it for the paper that I was using, which is the reason why this card turned out so much better than yesterday's. I swear I didn't make up that color combination and in the end it didn't work - I guess that's why I don't make paper. Anyway, I saw this paper at Joann's and just loved it. I added the cafepost stamp to the large dot paper to add some more interest. I would have preferred the dots smaller, but again, I didn't make the paper. See that lovely ribbon I used? That was a little gift in my package of COPIC Spica Glitter Pens that I got for an early birthday gift from my wonderful MIL from Ellen Hutson. Little freebies are awesome!!! I masked my sentiment saying so the front says coffee and friends and then I stamped the rest of it on the inside "are the perfect blend".

Oh that is awesome. Love the additon of the tab at the top. Very cute. Like you you shifted the design to opposite sides too. Thanks for playing :D
Ooh me likey! Turned out great! I want Lattebella too!!!
I can NOT believe Kevin is leaving you alone for spring break! Oh, well, the guy makes you an amazing vanilla latte every morning, so I guess you can't complain too much... (But a little is understandable!) *laugh* If you want to get our boys together during break, give us a call. We're staying home all week. (And Jay got 2 new videogames and 2 new Lego Star wars kits for his birthday this morning!!)
This is such a warm card, makes you want to cozy down and drink and read a good book hee/hee. I do feel bad for you no husband to help during spring break, when do you get a break????
Oh I love this little coffee cup. Great card. Joan
