Just A Coffee Note...Sweet Sunday Sketch #213, Just Us Girls #234, Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

Hello - and Happy April!  Hope that wherever you may be, Spring is in full swing.  We're still on our little venture, with coolish temperatures, but a cloudless blue sky, which means that once the day's a bit warmer, my husband will be out on his new bike.  Me...I may just drive along as his "caravan" support - sort of a lazy way to see the scenery, but no way am I riding 100km (60 miles) on my bike!  I'll bring along a thermos of coffee, a novel (I've actually read two so far:  Mr.Penumbra's 24 Hour Book Store, and The Art of Hearing Heartbeats - both rather delightful in their own ways) and tag along, stopping every 10 miles or so until he catches up.  Hop-scotch riding-and-driving: works for me!

Before the internet fades out, a quick post to share another creation a la the ingredients in my mobile crafting unit.  I pre-cut a couple of my coffee cup+sleeve dies, brought along the accompanying stamps and 'hoped' that maybe they'd work in a challenge.  Well...turns out they did!

Today's card is off to Sweet Sunday Sketch #213, for the layout inspiration (no two little embellishments, though, as I didn't think to add those to my traveling stash. Another card that will get its 'make-up' once we're back),

to Just Us Girls #234, for the 'tall and skinny size' inspiration (mine's 3.5 x 5.5),

 and to Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge for the 'obvious' inspiration - nearly 'wall to wall', or rather 'edge to edge' patterned paper on this one.  My sentiment, Just a Note, has the most fabulous 'big' font, so a 'must use' was fulfilled.

 The paper is Simple Stories' "Daily Grind', so I figure the coffee cup is an okay fit.  Speaking of coffee...off to brew a pot, dabble with another card-spark, and then, get ready for a drive. 

Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!
