Jen's Digi Stamps Coffee Party

Jamaican me Crazy mon! So glad that you popped by to see what I came up with using these FANTASTIC coffee stamps from Jen's Digi Stamps. Let me tell you that it is a real treat being on a design team and seeing what the others have come up with. So grab a cuppa Joe, pull up a chair and come and take a look :)

I bet you think that this is a card, right? Well it is not. It started off as a card but the sentiment was too long (curse you Microsoft word with no rulers). So Plan B came into effect. I took some of my Stampin' Up ink spots, my Stampin' Up sponge and created this effect on a 5 x 7 flat canvas I had laying around. The two stamps that I used were the Got coffee background stamp and Eva (need more coffee) stamp. I colored this with colored pencils, Copic markers and gel pens. I just had to write #1 Mom on the cup.

Good old Millie gave me the Joan Rivers impression as soon as I saw her. Doesn't she just look poised to share some gossip? Well actually the inside reads "I am missing you" so she just wants to catch up with an old friend. The stamp used is Old Millie sitting at the table with coffee with the coffee background stamp mentioned above.

It has been a Scrappingly good two weekends.....

I have to say that it has been a crafty good time here in NJ! I have had two weekends with my favorite Stampin' Up friend Julie (Stampin Up Demonstrator: Julie Kudish) and have made some pretty awesome things (if I do say so myself). In addition to that, I had craft time with our niece Vanessa. She will be turning 4 and loved making cards with Aunt Susan. Here are some pics I wanted to share with you: 

This is a shaker card made with actual  sand

This was the first layout I have EVER made without having pics already printed

 The next day, I went to the dollar store with my sister in law and my niece in law. We saw this damaged saying and Julie turned to me and said, "You good make something prettier!" Well here is what I came up with.....

 Today I went to a stamping up party for one of the gals in our monthly stamping group. This is the projects we made (card was put together by my dear friend Erin (Comfy on My Cloud):

Sande Designs Commission Project

After an amazing day, all 6 projects are complete. I came up with the design idea and Erin and I worked on the layout with all the pictures and other items. They are framed pieces that are 16 x 20. The background is metallic paper. The embellishments are Jolee's and others. This was so much fun and I look forward to many more! Next up, making all the cards I have sketched.

Happy Scrappin,

Sue
