After an extremely busy week it was fun to sit down and try out this week's
sketch design by Michelle at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This uncomplicated design was just what I needed, and it didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted to make with it.

HERE'S MY CARD:
One of my guilty pleasures in life is a good cup of coffee and the only thing better is sharing time with a friend over a cup of coffee. I loved the sentiment "this one's on me" and thought it would be the perfect saying on a note card to invite a friend to join me "on the house".
I flipped this sketch sideways and added an additional mat using the Designer Series Paper on the card front. I fussy cut 2 coffee mugs from one of the designer series papers for the focal point popping up the Lost Lagoon colored mug with dimensionals. I also used dimensionals to support the stitched circle and nested it over top of some linen thread that was laid down in a figure eight.SUPPLIES:

Great colors with kraft and fabulous embossing! A very fun card for a coffee loving friend. Thank you for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
Such a cute card and I love the linen thread - great idea. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. :)
I love coffee too and I think this is the sweetest! I love your little recipe board too, very clever! Thanks for playing with our sketch this week at Atlantic Hearts!
What a fun card!!! Do you do the notebook entry for all your cards--great way to keep track!! Thanks for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts!
A huge thanks to Dena J, Sheri L, Anonymous and Tammy for your wonderful comments. That's very encouraging. For those who asked about the recipe book, yes I used to do those on scraps of paper, but now I keep a page for every challenge or customer card I make, so I have reference. After I post I usually write the information about date etc on the page so I can look back at my post. Thanks again! You folks are wonderful.
Thank you Dena for your wonderful comment. Blogger doesn't let me send back replies, but I wanted to let you know how much I liked your comment.
Thanks girlfriend. This is the card I made after you left that I'd been hemming and hawing about. Glad you liked it!
Thank you Tammy for your comment. And yes I do the notebook entry for all my cards so I can keep track. Appreciate it!
