Coffee Break!


I was the guest hostess this week over at SCS and the Try a New Technique Challenge. Beth pm'd me asking if I would help her out. Of course, no question about it. Especially after meeting her in real life and discovering she is just as she comes across online - super sweet and generous.

Beth thought it would be fun to have the challenge be my morning warm up cards that I have posted in the past, and something I try and do every morning to keep the juices flowing. I agreed, and it seems to be something the participants are enjoying as well.

So, this is my morning warm-up today, done just after my coffee and before taking the kids to school. Pretty straight forward stamping and assembling. I hope this set makes it into the new catalog, it's a wonderful coffee set! I received it from SU! as part of my package when I was a Leadership Display Stamper and it was my favorite set of the bunch they sent my way.


Happy Monday!


Supplies: Stamps: Like it A Latte, Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Ruby Red, Very Vanilla, Designer paper, Ink: Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Creamy Caramel, Accessories: Vintage mini brads, Mat Pak and Piercing tool, Dimensionals

Oops, I missed my morning warm-up because I didn't visit SCS or my blog feeds today until now! I'll have to try this out tomorrow -- great idea, Val!

Super cute Val! Will have to try this (except mine would be an evening warm up). If I were to stamp in the morning, it would have to be around 4:00 AM or so (as I am at work by 6:30 AM...Yikes)! I'll just have to live vicariously through all of you daytime stampers.
