Life has it's Perks

Hi fellow scrappers..
It's Nanné here today and I'm so excited about sharing my project with you today..
  Last summer my husband and I took a quick vacation to Florida from Finland and ended up having a lay over in London, England.. Where I was able to enjoy several different cups of coffee at a pub at the airport..
I decided it was time to scrap one of those photos that I had taken before enjoying my cup of joy (joe)..I am a lover of all things coffee..LOL

Here is what I created:

I decided to stick with browns and oranges cause of the logo on my cup of coffee :)

I also wanted to distress the background paper too look as if I had set my coffee up on it, thought it looked better than just a plain piece of white cardstock..

How about a few close ups and some details:

since I only took one photo, I decided to print it twice and then frame it.. These polaroid frames are great for that and you can get those in the Photo Frames cutting file..

This cute little gal, well I actually nabbed her from the Valentines Kids cutting file, she is actually holding a heart, but I wanted her to hold my two favorite things instead..LOL

the coffee pot and cup-to-go are in the Java Great Day cutting file..

I created my own title phrase using some free fonts I found only and for some added detail, I cut some scalloped trim to background cause I felt like it needed a little something extra.. The scalloped border is in the Borders 2 cutting file. (which is one of my most used files).

and finally, added some of the branches from the Winter Cardinal cutting file, some coffee beans and then percolator from Java Great Day cutting file.

and their you have my coffee themed layout..

I want to thank you for stopping by today and taking a look at my latest project :)

Hope you have a scrap-tastic week

Hugs

Nanné

Hey Girlfriend!

Good Morning!

Melisa from Melisa's Crafty Creations here with you this morning.  Today I have a card to share with you.  I've been trying to make some extra cards to keep in my stash.  It seems like I have too many of one themed cards and not enough of another.  So I thought I would make a card to send to a girlfriend who may need some cheering up.  

I used the Star Spangled Cards Cutting File for my card base.  The adorable little girl is from the Dress Up Girls 1 Cutting File.  Her dress is from the Valentine Kids Cutting File.  I did have to stretch her dress a little bit to make sure it was wide enough to cover her body.  Her shoes & flower in her hair are from the Dress Up Girl Pink Dress Cutting File.  

The Flower and the Bushes  are from the Flowers Assortment Cutting File.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Girl's Night Out Stamp Set.  Her sweet face is from Peachy Keen's Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Melisa
