Autumn Coffee Loving Card Hop



Amy Tsuruta, [Tsuruta Designs], is at again with a fun Autumn Coffee blog hop, over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog~  It's so fun to join in and then, you hop to see all the other cards that are also entered. Usually there are at least 300 entries!  And prizes - don't get me started -- tons of sponsors!

Now, where I live, we do not have the glorious colored leaves and plants that the rest of the country gets, even the state for that matter.  We get dull and boring browns.. oh yay.. NOT.  So, when I make Autumn cards I go BRIGHT, as bright as I can get - then, I feel like I get to see the amazing Fall colors too :)

On the other hand, my area does stay warm enough to still get Frappacinos or Iced Coffees from Starbucks year round ~ [hey we all have our priorities]. I [finally] used my Tim Holtz Iced Coffee Cup, along with some flowers from Heartfelt Creations, Daisy Patch [and matching dies].  All the leaves are from different Spellbinder dies, and finally, my "cool coffee" is from my trusty Silhouette, using the Pharmacy font.

My card was inspired by this FB graphic that my cousin posted awhile ago.


It's appropriate - I hope you all have an excellent day hopping!  I had a great time making my card~  I'm off to hop.....



Thanks for stopping by~
