Thanks a Latte

Good morning dear friends!!  Today's card uses this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  It's the first Monday sketch of the month, so Julee has some Verve stamps up for grabs.  Julee happens to be the inspiration for this card today.  She recently acquired a fancy, super deluxe espresso machine and is now in coffee heaven :)  I immediately thought of this takeout coffee cup I picked up in Bellevue this summer.  It reminded me of the Starbucks cups (and for those of you who don't know me, I met my husband there 5 years ago!!).  I also used some beautiful script patterned paper that reminds me of the tissue paper Starbucks uses to pack their mugs when you buy them :)  The kraft panel behind the cup is crimped like the cup sleeves, but hard to see in the picture.  A little twine, twill, bling and coffee bean button and this sweet card is making me need a coffee!!  Hope you have a lovely day.  I'm slowly starting report cards this weekend, but the big push will be next weekend.  Thanks so much for visiting :)

How fun that you met your hubby at Starbuck's...I know you told us before...but didn't think it stuck with me. I sat there last Friday between drop off and pick up from a youth group event for Ryan. Very relaxing...love the script paper and all the details!

What a great card! I'm looking for a great coffee cup stamp set. I love all the details you've included, from the crimped kraft, to the twine and the coffee bean button. So cool! Have a good weekend!

LOVE this, Maureen! It's gotten quite a bit colder here lately, so I'm ready to snuggle up with a warm drink!

This card made me say "this is the perfect Maureen card" LOL! Great BG DP and I love the crimped panel. Makes me want to order a tall, decaf, nonfat latee :) Have a great weekend and hopefully you can get a few report cards under your belt.
