Coffee Loving Papercrafters Hop



It's that fun time again for the Holiday Coffee Lovers Hop hosted by our friend, Amy Tsuruta and her new team!

I used a retired cup image, and of course my background is a SU classic; Lovely As a Tree.

When I heard it was a holiday/Winter hop I went searching Pinterest and came up with this inspiration photo;

Isn't this a lovely photo?  I thought it was perfect for my card.

Because I am done with Christmas cards, I thought this was appropriate for my friend's December birthday. There is a theme of a snowy scene and a nice "friendly" appeal that worked well for my card.

Are you joining in over at the Holiday Coffee Lover's Hop?  You should, there are a ton of sponsors!  I sure hope to win~ :)


Thanks for stopping by~
