Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I'm back with a card I made for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Last Friday I tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it.  Normally I'm pretty particular when it comes to coffee and I typically don't add any flavors to my drinks, but in a weak moment I succumbed!  Fall is my favorite of the four seasons and there's nothing better than curling up with a hot cup of coffee, a blanket and a good book on a blustery fall day.

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI July 2016 Blog Hop

I'm back!  It's been so long since my last post (fall of last year!) that I had to dig into the recesses of my memory to remember how to log in to Blogger!  I still enjoy crafting, but find I have less and less time to do it, so the little time I have I try to spend it creating cards and sadly the blogging part falls by the way side.

However, I just returned from a wonderful crafty weekend in Oregon with my bestie and crafting partner in crime, Kristie.  I was inspired to play along with this month's PTI blog hop by making a card and since I have the day off and a few moments to myself, I'm making time to post my card!

There were so many elements to draw from in the inspiration photo: the quatrefoil rug, the floral pillow, the aqua chair with the gold legs and arms and the peach in the curtains and side board.  Those are the items I focused on to create my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I can't say for certain when I'll post next.  I'm moving into a new house next month and access to my craft supplies will be limited, but I'm excited I'll be getting a new craft room with a view of Puget Sound!

Supplies:
Card stock:  110 lb. white (Recollections); Soft Stone, Aqua Mist, Melon Berry (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper:  Floral from Picadilly collection (Basic Gray)
