Happy Blog-iversary


Today marks the 9th anniversary of my very first blog post! I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by. I had no idea what I was doing back then, and still don't, but it's been a ton of fun, anyway!


Who could have predicted that I would be even more addicted to card-making than when I first started?! All credit for this happy, harmless addiction goes to my best friend forever, Barb. We have been BFFs since junior high and this year is our "golden anniversary", LOL. (Dang, how did THAT happen?!)


So, to my friends and followers who have stuck with me on this blogging journey, even if we have never met face-to-face, I just want to say that I love you (and coffee)! This card is for you!!!

Here's the "How To"
 Coffee cups: Coffee Break DP
 Greeting: Whisper White 1-1/4" x 1-3/4"
 Circles: Pool Party 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" and Whisper White 1-3/4" x 1-3/4"
 DSP strip: Coffee Break DSP 2" x 4-1/8"
 Mat: Early Espresso 2-1/8" x  4-1/8"
 Embossed background: Whisper White 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
 Card base: Whisper White Thick 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored & folded at 4-1/4"
  1. Emboss background with the Sparkle embossing folder and adhere to card base.

  5. Stamp greeting using Early Espresso ink and fussy-cut the heart. Attach with dimensionals.
