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!

Love all the paper piecing on the cup, the sewing, and that aqua and brown together! I'd happily meet you for a cup of coffee..if I can have tea ( and some Irish Soda bread?)...I'm not a coffee drinker.. Love your card!
Bridget this is so cute and so pretty. I just love your sewing. I think I am going to set up my machine. You have inspired me. I just love blue and brown together. This is another wonderful creation from you.
