Today's Free for All Challenge is to use kraft (Crumb Cake) and brown (Chocolate Chip) on a card in honor of National Chocolate Cake Day...chocolate cake and coffee sounds perfect to me. Also my card is in honor of Toni (ravengirl) who is Queen for the Day 97...Toni has fabulous cards in her gallery and regularly encourages other stampers with her comments, so I was delighted to choose this creation to CASE: Toni's Card
Toni's card is a celebration of tea and friendship, I just changed it to coffee and friendship with SNSS's Cocoa's Latte. I added an extra strip on her sketch and used ribbon as she did but in bow form. I sponged the edges of the paper piecing to add dimension. Enjoy your time as Queen, Toni, and for everyone celebrating National Chocolate Cake Day - enjoy too!
I love this sentiment because it reminds me of the happy times I've had chatting with friends over coffee - I sure wish I could sit down with so many of you, my SCS friends, and do the same!

That little Cocoa makes me smile every time I see him; he's so sneaky though! Always hiding and looking so mischievous, but ya gotta love him anyway! Love your paper piecing, beautiful sponging and perfect sewing, and that bow is so pretty! Hey, I wonder if Cocoa stuck his finger in the coffee.........

Bridget, we are gallery neighbors today and we CASEd the same card! Who would have guessed that -- because our cards are so very different! I love all the DP on your card -- and that cute Cocoa peeking out from behind his cuppa!
