OCC Color Challenge - COffee Brawd!

Our OCC Hostess, Silke Ledlow has come up with this FABULOUS color combo for us all to play with this week!!

I think Silke has a Mystery Prize up for grabs this week as well...so be sure to play along and leave a link to your card or project on the Our Creative Corner Blog using Mr.Linky!

Here is my take on the colors! I used the Brand New Coffee Brawd from
Totally Stampalicious!

I used some textured paper from Bazzill Basics to mimic the dp! (which I have had in my stash for YEARS!!!) I used it to paper piece her robe as well and it kind of gave it a 'terry cloth' look!! The flowers and leaves were die cut from my Sizzix Sizzlets!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!!

Coffee Shop Blog Hop Stop #9

So how are you enjoying our first EVER Blog Hop so far?
You should have arrived here from Patrica's Blog - Stamping With Kokirose, but if you didn't, just head on over to the First Stop at the Totally Stampalicious Blog so you don't miss any of the fun OR opportunities to win some of the great prizes being offered!

So without further ado, here is my Coffee Shop project! I gotta tell ya that I think Coffee Brawd is OFFICIALLY my personal favorite Stampalicious Stamp set! Now I know I've said that before but I'm sure you can guess why she holds a special place in my heart!!

Here is a pic of the whole set!
I was inspired by the Pink Paislee paper and burlap for this creation!

Here is the card! I pieced her robe and colored her with Copics!! The sentiment reads:

"You haven't had enough coffee
until you can thread a
sewing machine while it's running!"

I giggle everytime I read this!!!

And here is my burlap sac full of Cafe Mocha! I bought the mix at the grocery store but thought I could do a better job of the packaging in this fun sac that I bought from There She Goes a few years back!! I used the Digi images to create the tag.
Don't forget that when you buy the stamp set from Totally Stampalicious you get the Digi for FREE!!!

And here is the box I created to hold a couple of boxes of Crackheads that I bought from a local coffeeshop! These are dark and white chocolate covered coffee beans!!! YUM!!! Again, the tag is done using the Digi Images!

Well it's time to head on over to the next stop of the Coffee Shop Blog Hop!!
Ms. Vicki Garrett - Summerthyme Studio!!!
I'm sure she has some amazing eye candy to share with you...PLUS you get to see her UBER COOL blog design!!!

Now here's a list of the whole hop just in case you get lost or there are any glitches along the way!

C4C27 - Paper PieRcing!

Our fabulous CRAZY 4 CHALLENGES March Hostess, Barb Anders -Paper Pursuits has challenged us to use a little paper PieRcing on our creations...not piecing....PieRcing!! Apparently the similarities in spelling between these two techniques have been known to cause a little confusion!! So...just to be clear... pieRcing!!

Look at this DELICIOUS Picnic Basket from DRS Designs!! They are our sponsor for the next two weeks...and this week they are offering up a $15 Gift Certificate to one lucky player!!
They have some really great images and sentiments so be sure to check them out!!

Here is my creation!

I used some polka-dotted fabric I've had laying around and ripped it into strips to use as ribbon. The fabric brads are a dollar store find!! I colored the image with Copics and used my SU! Mat Stack to do the PieRcing!!

So how's about you play along with all of us Crazies and live a link to your creation over at the C4C Blog! If you upload to SCS use Keyword C4C27!

Now if you scroll down to find the Sketch Challenge from the OCC, you would think that I created this card following that sketch...ironically, I hadn't even looked at the sketch....weird huh?!

Thanks for taking the time to visit!!
