Hello Stampers!  Well I survived my first three days of school.  I have 22 kindergarteners this year, needless to say I was pretty tired out after three days of school!!  It is great to have a three day weekend after that!!  I didn't get to participate in the featured stamper challenge yesterday, we were celebrating my niece's 18th birthday!  Today I have to clean the house and do laundry so I thought this morning I would have some fun time in my craft room first!  

I made this card for the Clean and Simple challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The theme this week is coffee.  I love these images from Amuse, and decided to use them in this challenge.  To start I stamped the coffee and die cut it with the stitched circle die cut.  Then I cut the scalloped circle frame.  I stamped the coffee again onto the patterned paper and cut out the cup of the coffee and adhered it to the stamped image.  I love how dainty the hearts are on this patterned paper.  Next I cut the card base, added a strip of the patterned paper, and a sliver of melon mambo to frame the patterned paper.  I adhered the coffee piece to the card base, and then worked on the sentiment.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment and cut it out with the word window punch.  I popped it up with some dimensionals on the card, and this card is complete.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
