Mmmmmmmmm.

Coffee is one of my LOVES.  Actually, it is probably my greatest weakness.  But one that I seriously enjoy.  You can image my excitement when the hot concoctions stamp kit arrived from Paper Smooches.  I already used it one HERE… but I have been saving this sweet cup for something special.

Enter the current Paper Smooches NEW SPARKS challenge.

That sweet heart reminded me of my LOVE for coffee.  Um, it sounds kinda weird now that I write it, but I wanted to put that stitched safety pin on the coffee band of the cup.  Like a homemade one.  Thus, we have….

I combined the sentiment from Hot Concoctions, Alphadot and Sentiment Sampler.  I’m going to be using this combo quite a venti!  What a great thank you note theme.

    Nothing funny about ‘loving’ coffee, I feel the same way about ‘tea’! Your card is fab, the striped background is perfect!

    That safety pin surely is THE perfect finishing touch! Love it! And also the sewing you did, especially with the different line around the label there! Pretty!
    Hugs, Wendy

    SUPER cute! I love that stitched safety pin! SOO clever! And I LOVE the papers! I’m not a fan of coffee (something about it makes me sick)—and I never understood that sentiment! Now I know–TFS:)
