KONA Anyone ??

Inspired by my friend Lori, I am entering a coffee-themed card in the Simon Says Monday Challenge : Coffee or Tea.. This is what happens when you can't sleep at 3 a.m. You gather your favorite supplies and create !!



I used a Sherwin Williams paint sample in Memorable Rose along with a KONA coffee information card from my beloved Starbucks.. The travel mug is from a stamp in the Joe-to-Go set by the fabulous Taylored Expressions.. A few sequin stickers (they are the Bomb) from We R Memory Keepers completed the card.... 

Hope you like my card... Be sure to go over and see all of the other amazing creations on the BLOG for the Simon Says Monday Challenge.... 

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity !!

CASE Challenge for a Creative Chick

Happy Blogiversary to Jenn Shurkus.. She is celebrating 10 years as the Creative Chick of Shurkus.com and I am playing along with her CASE Challenge.. We were challenged to find a project in her blog archive and get inspired by it.. The card that inspired me can be found HERE... It is from 2009 and features her cat, Mister Harley. I am a cat lover too, so it was fun to CASE this card. Happy 10th Anniversary, Jenn... Thank you for inviting us to create for your celebration !! Check out her blog here..


I started my card off with a wood-grain stamp by Recollections @ Michaels.. I placed double-sided tape down the left side of the card and poured Stampin' Up Chanpagne Glass glitter on it. I punched a round hole in the wood-grain panel and mounted it on the Kraft card front with dimensionals. A piece of Maya Road"Sweet Candy" twine was tied around the wood-grain panel and a Stampin' Up image "4 You" was placed below it.. Three We R Memory Keepers self-adhesive sequins were lined up on the left side of the circle. An All Night Media image that reminds me a bit of Mister Harley was placed behind the window formed by the circle punch-out.. Hope you like this card as much as I do..





Thanks so much to Jenn Shurkus for inspiring me to play along with her as she celebrates her 10th anniversary of blogging.. What a milestone !! Wishing her many more !!

And I couldn't end this post without a cute pic of my sweetheart, Andromeda Cassini --- aka Anna....
