Hey y'all, hope you're healthy and warm as today Ryan is home sick again (still has a fever, so he's asleep in my bed at the moment) and it's blizzarding outside and I don't care what spellcheck says, blizzard is now a verb in my house. But I am in my nice cozy house wearing nice cozy clothes and drinking a nice cozy cuppa tea, so it can blizzard all it wants outside.
Today's cards also feature a hot beverage for those of you who like coffee instead of tea:
These are two slightly different variations on this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
I am also entering this in the SOS Challenges' Crafty Remnants challenge--I had three large scraps of the A Little Latte DSP and I cut them to 4.25" wide, then cut three strips 1.5" tall for the card on the right. I happened to flip the remaining scraps over and discovered three patterns all in shades of brown, so I turned those into the card on the left and that's why the strips are different heights, I was using up the scraps. The two lattes were already die cut out of another piece of the patterned paper and they were in a sheet protector with the other paper scraps, so both of these cards are entirely made of scraps other than the card bases.
I chose the Latte Love collection for the TGIF Challenge:
I have two friends that I usually send cards to every week; we've been friends since at least middle school so over 30 years now (hashtag OLD) and a lot of times I'll look for two similar cards to send to them. This time I just made two similar cards so I'm all set for mailing them out next week : ) I typically mail out 4-6 cards every Monday, just doing my bit to keep the USPS in business.
That's it for me today, peeps. I may try to sneak into my craft room though that might wake Ryan up when I use the paper trimmer. Hmm. Once he wakes up, he pinkie promised that we could watch The Princess Bride today (yesterday we watched Abominable instead and I do seriously love that movie too). I'm happy to report that I am feeling better at least, so I got to work out this morning which was nice. Hoping Ryan bounces back soon. Cheers, y'all, and stay healthy!

Fantastic...doubly fantastic...two great coffee cards!! I am a fan!! Way to go shopping your stash...those are some gorgeous designer paper remnants!! Thanks for playing along with our "crafty remnant" challenge over at Shopping Our Stash!! Deb Horst, DT #SOS540
I made a coffee card yesterday too with some DSP scraps - but now I'm going back to case these Christy - the paper strips work perfectly with this sketch! Bravo on your regular mailings too - I always feel like I make more cards than I send, I need to remedy that! Sorry to hear Ryan is under the weather - hope he feels better soon!
What a delightful pair! The styles look so different with the different papers. Thank you for playing with my sketch this week at FMS!
