Thanks Michele for the PP challenge...I've had this card made and waiting to qualify for SOMETHING...I think this is the day for my morning beauty to debut!
I am a coffee snob, there I've admitted it! But when you've lived in the Starbucks sphere and even gone to COFFEE COLLEGE which the Star used to run...it's hard not to want the very best! To give you an idea of just how bad I am...we're on our third espresso machine
My Dolly Mama beauty was stamped on white (I hope the PP police willl forgive me!) I colored her with markers...check out her eye shadow! She is one a background of brown cs that has been stamped in coffee words from a liquid black gold set by SEE-D's. I placed her in front of the Marah Johnson wonderful coffee paper from Creative Imagination. I cut the top of the pot and embossed in clear and popped on dots. This is matted on dotted watered down white paper I colored with a copper gell pen. I cuttled the bayou blue mat. My garden of coffee cups was stamped on Basic Grey Stella Ruby paper in Brilliance coffee bean (what else) and embossed in clear. I added white puffy pen to the tops of the cups for the wonderful creamy foam I love so much!
Okay, now I'm ready to go prime the pump and make my espresso...bye for now!!!

what a fantastic and fabulous creation Susan! She does look like she could be VERY MEAN if she goes without caffeine for to long. I know what you mean about being a coffee snob, my brother and children live in SF calinfornia and if it aint Peets or something better they are not drinking it! What a wild garden of coffee, just wonderfully creative. Thank goodness it is only caffeine you are indulging in, with your imagination anything stronger might be VERY DANGEROUS! Teeeeheeeeheeeee......

Wonderful card, Susan!! Love good old Dolly momma - and the fun flowers cut out in behind.. Great coffee stamp - and loving that blue eyeshadow on your lady.
Coffee snob, are we??????????? Well, I'm a coke slurpee snob. Seriously. I search far and wide throughout the city for the best coke or pepsi slurpee -I am willing to drive the extra miles for the best!!!!! If they let my coke slurpee go down hill so that it tastes fruity or rootbeerish - oh,I'm so outa there.. and off to seek a proper slurpee..

Susan, I love your card. I would give her my coffee, but then what would I do..... I'd go crazy. I need mine to wake up this morning. I was up late the last two nights helping my daughter do her Trigonometry homework.

Susan, I'm always so overwhelmed when I see your cards. There's just so much intrigue, if you will, with your cards. There's style, depth, texture, and just much more. this is just a masterpiece. Your stamp is simply a hoot.....which I think is the little girl in you! Love it, I just love it. Way too wonderful.
