Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / January 2022

Welcome to 2022 and thank you for joining us again as Celeste and I get together for coffee and cards . We will be challenging each other with either a theme or sketch each month and also telling you what delicious coffee we are enjoying. To start off, we have a sketch for January, chosen by Celeste. 

I will admit that sketches are outside of my comfort zone so I have really used artistic license with this in order to create my card.  The overall concept is similar but not all of the pieces and parts are exact ..

I know I'm a handful . That's why you have two hands 

• I stamped the housewife and sentiment on a piece of Mixed Media paper with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam Ink  and a Memento Lady Bug Dew Drop . Stamp set is from Ink Road Stamps - Snarky Housewife - Volume 2 .
• The housewife was colored with my COPICS.
• All of the patterned papers are from a Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen paper pad . I have been hoarding it for years !! I thought they were perfect for the retro feel that I was looking for .
• I layered the patterned papers and stamped panel on a black card base .

Celeste does an fantastic job with Sketch Challenges .. You can take a look at her card at her blog - Crafting Junky .

Thank you for visiting with me and Celeste as we start 2022 with some coffee . I definitely did not need a new coffee cup but found this one on sale at Starbucks after the holidays. Isn't it beautiful ?!?!?! And I'm drinking Jingle Bones coffee from Bones Coffee Company.  If you are looking to try a new coffee company and amazing flavors, you need to check them out !! Jingle Bones has the flavors of Vanilla, Coconut and Caramel !! It's absolutely delicious ..

 

We look forward to seeing you next month for more coffee and cards. If you would like to recommend a theme for us, let us know in the comments .. Please stay safe, always be creative and we will see you back here on February.
