ahhh a cuppa

so I'd planned on joining 613 Avenue Create: Challenge but seem to miss them all the time, but this time I tripped across it again in time to play along

I created this little card today

The challenge was "anything goes" with a color twist

Printed Paper - Carta Bella Winter Fun 6x6 Pad... you know the 6x6 pads with the hole right in the middle at the top? those little pieces next to it you have left when you cut the paper down to be 6" and get rid of that hole? here's what I did with mine! why throw them out?!

Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. Java Friend

Ink - CloseToMyHeart Cranberry

Coffee color - Copic Marker

Ribbon - CloseToMyHeart Organdy in Outdoor Denim

X's & O's

so many challenges.... so little time... so I had to combine a few, but just a few... not an insane amount like some people are capable of doing.... also these are NOT standard OWH size which doesn't mean I can't sent them to OWH, just that I have to make sure I get an envelope with them (already tucked! no worries)
