happily caffeinated! But I will be making my BulletProof Coffee soon...
And a happy hello to everyone who stops by this card today...I've been gone awhile, but it's raining and cool in Oregon and time for me to get back into my studio and get my fingers inky and the cobwebs cleared outta my grey matter. What better way then to create a card for cathymac's WT510 Ornamental Ornament Challenge. Just so happens I need a card today (yep, that's me last minute gurl)...
I simply adore up cycling with product packaging and what's not to love with this years'
Starbucks coffee bags...wish you could smell the espresso on my hands as I type this! I cut the bag open, keeping it on a slight angle for dimension, used a die cut heart for my ornament which covered the 'buck logo. Doesn't this quote make you, from Karen Salmansohn, smile?

Thinking of peeps out there who caffeinate my soul...I am blessed. Thanks for peeping and commenting...

Since I grew up recycling/reusing and still do I am delighted to see that you are reusing. The card is delightfully eye catching and I like the sentimant.
Only flaw for me - I'm allergic to coffee! but oh, do give me my tea.

Susan! So nice to see you back. I have been missing you and your fantastic cards! I can smell that beautifully coloured bag from here. There is nothing better than the smell of coffee except the drinking of coffee. I will have to make myself one after typing this (and I thought I had had all I needed this morning already ...foolish me!) Love the sentiment; so perfectly true.

Awesome! Wish I could smell your espresso, Susan! I love recycling too and have taken a couple cards that I just adored and used pieces of them to re-create another new one! Welcome back and hope you can stay awhile~

Helloooo Susan! Seeing you back in the gallery just made my day! I'd just once love to watch you craft and see how you create by recycling! What a fantastic card and even though it's been a while, you didn't lose your touch ONE bit! Fantastic!
