Hi! What's Perking!

 Good Morning ~ what's perking!

I'm lucky to have some free crafty moments this winter break ~

as well as lots and lots of my favorite ... coffee!

 

As part of my goals for this year, 

I am continuing to ink up my treasured stamps.

And you might know from visiting me previously 

how much I adore TAWS stamps!!!

I inked up my Breakfast Club stamp set that has been patiently

waiting for me to ink up due to a hectic past month(s).

It's always fun to play along with the TAWS challenges 

and I try not to miss them if I can help it - they are very inspiring.

As a HUGE coffee fan, this set was a must have for me

and as soon as I saw the challenge photo, an idea arose.

Rather than go with a Christmas theme, I used the photo to

inspire more of a welcome to January card!

 I pulled from the 4 colors of the stockings and used that

as  my paper choice.  I paper-pieced the coffee cup and added

scattering of pearls, as well as using a blue card base like the mantel.

Here is my card:

And the inside of my card:

You can see the inspiration photo here:

 

I used the wonderful sketch from cardabilities to build my card base.

Here is their sketch ~  

I'll enter this into their challenge #90. 

 

 I was recently inspired by several of my friends on SCS to join 

a 100 cards in 100 days challenge.  This is actually my 2nd card of the year.  I won't be doing a card a day or daily blog but will aspire to complete a collection of needed cards to use through-out the year

and that's a great source of inspiration!

Nothing on this card used today was a new purchase ~ just new to use! 

100 cards

 
I'll enter this card into one of my favorite stops~
Word Art Wednesday challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
