MY INSPIRATION: For the past few years I have been a big fan and entrant of the Coffee Lovers Seasonal Blog Hops. There is so much inspiration within this Blog Hop that I decided to pay tribute to the Design Team. I have selected one post from the 2017 Fall and/or Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop for each Design Team member. Each has provided me inspiration for creating my card for the 2018 Fall/Winter Blog Hop.
Amy Tsuruta, Founder and Hostess, demonstrated innovation when she developed the Coffee Blog Hop. Her vision has created a firestorm of coffee-inspired challenges and merchandise across the globe. Her dedication and hard work in keeping the challenge alive and fun for all of us fanatics in paper crafting and coffee addicts does not go unappreciated. Thank you, Amy!
BLOG CANDY: In the past I won a coffee mat as Blog Candy and I love it. I searched online to find that coffee mat and much to my surprise there it was along with others. I have several new mats that you can win by random draw along with a Spellbinders die. All you have to do is link a coffee card to the Double Trouble Challenge, make a comment, and meet the guidelines for Challenge #16, click on below for more detail.
(Starts Dec 3 - Dec 7) Winter/Holiday with some kind of Embossing technique "Dry/Heat/Paste" and
Comment: "What's your favorite hot/cold drink?"

2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 5 - Card 1: My inspiration today is Katie Brooks' project from the 2017 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. The card had lots of layers a favorite when selecting a sketch, and of course who doesn't like critters and I have many mice in my stash...well stamps that is. Instead of creating a Fall card decided to do a Winter/Christmas card and I already know who the recipient will be, my mailman with a gift to Starbucks and a plate of cookies.
Thank you Katie
