You and Coffee

Happy Anniversary to me!!! Oh and my Husband of course!!!!

Hey everyone, Today I am here with an Anniversary Card I made for my husband.  Today is our 25th Wedding Anniversary!  I personally think that is awesome!!!  If you know us personally you know that we are not lovey dovey people, we are quite sarcastic people, especially to each other...  So this year I made him a card showing that!!!  I used the Cafe Au Lait Sparkle blend for this card because it was perfect, not only because I am a Louisiana girl but because I have an obsession with coffee!  Like  a serious one!!!

Here is the card I made... it is monochromatic in brown, because COFFEE!!!!

I again made the frame using the frame punch board.  The background is made using stamps from Tim Holtz Mini Fresh Brewed set and stamped in Archival ink Potting Soil!  The sentiment is from the Coffee and Tea stamp set from SSS. 

Look at all of that!!!  Isn't it just yummy!!! 

Here is the sarcastic part!!!  I mean I do love him more than coffee, just barely, but I do!!!! 

Remember that you can only get these limited edition sparkle blends at WRC LLC!!!

Welcome welcome....well lets see if I can be a bit more witty today than yesterday... Although be forewarned that I have quickly lost my mind today.!!!  First, let me say a great big thank you to Strange Skin for being our sponsor today.  Somewhere on someones 31 day post today there is a hidden chance to win some awesome digis from this wonderful company so be sure to check out everyone listed on the sidebar!!!  Secondly, today I am double dipping on some projects, not only is this a creation for the 31 days of Halloween but it is also a creation for the very first challenge for The Hodgepodge Shop, of which I am a DT member!!!  The image I have used is from the HodgePodgeShop and is called Halloween Pumpkin stack!  I totally love this image.  I decided to make a monochromatic project.  Using black and white, of course I never follow rules, so i chose to focus on the (chrom) part of the word and had to add a little sumptin sumptin to it!  I hope you enjoy and please head on over to the Hodpodgeshop blog to see more creations by this wonderful new DT!
