Current Challenge

Coffee is one of my top 10 favorite things! So I was very excited to see this week’s “Coffee Mugs” photo. Along with the mugs, the little awning and the daisies caught my eye. I decided to make a little coffee shop window of my own…

I used Carta Bella Paper ‘s “Summer” collection with the cute daisy paper so that changed my original color scheme of pink, purple, and yellow!. I made an awning with a vintage “Large Scalloped Border” die from Papertrey Ink, then used their “Into the Blooms: Daisies” dies, too.

The “Hearts at Home: Mugs” are from The Greetery, tucked inside the “Window Dressing :Dotted Scalliops” die cut. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps’ “Best-teas” set.

I hope you are enjoying a latte right now on your front or back porch, feeling the last of summer’s warmth before falls blows in! Have a great day!
