So, last night I was joking with Polly that I was going to do coffee beans jumping for her challenge haha, (which I have not done yet) and anyways I was digging through my clear stamp sets because, ( there is also a Coffee lovers summer hop going on now) and I stopped on this funny set from the Ton and thought you know... if you spilled the beans you could make a line... and I knew I had this cup with the "swirly" heart steam so, I did split the sentiment up to use it like this and then when the stamped panel was done and I walked over to the file cabinet to find something to be the base I seen this stack of these DCWV card bases ( very flimsy) (I am trying to use them up) I bought them when I was was dumb about such things and a few months ( yes you read that right) ago I chopped up some scraps and glued them to the fronts thinking I could make a stack of Christmas cards with them... at any rate I figured the colors in the plaid worked "good enough" with the coffee theme and then I had to make more beans to extend the line across... ( so this one went through two drying times today lol) Thanks for this challenge Kim, & tfl.

This makes me smile!! Your story of how this came into existence (I have flimsy card bases in my stash too) and the fun use of coffee beans is just delightful! Very fun card for someone very special!
Thanks for playing along with my challenge!

Plaid and coffee..who knew? This is super cute Stacy! I'm still waiting to see if these beans might somehow make their way into my challenge. FYI- I know coffee is your addiction but from the sound of it so is craft shopping....I know I've seen your blog posts (and I have to admit to a little crafty online shopping addiction myself....)....TFS!
