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!

How funny, I almost went with coffee and cake too! What's really funny is I don't even drink coffee! LOVE your card though and the colors look great together!

I adore this card! Cocoa is soooo cute; your coloring is so nice. Great paper piecing. I like the colors, papers, sketch, sewing, ribbon -- just everything about this adorable card!

Bridget, this is wonderful! I love the depth that the sponging on Cocoa's cup adds and those are perfect patterns to use together. I completely agree...I would love to sit down and chat with my SCS friends over coffee!
