Coffee Coffee and More Coffee

This cup is from Fresh Brewed designs this is one of the stamps they no longer make rubber but I own a few of them this coffee cup I just adore. 

I fussy cut it out on two different papers and added in a little shading I hand wrote in the coffee sentiment and the flower is from my friend Judy which works perfectly

Little Coffee

I thought I'd try something a little different and stamp right on to DP and then colour up the coffee up and see how the pattern would turn out and so far I like it. I guess this might be the start of a Pocket Letter but we will The Stamp is one of my Fave it's from CC Designs

WOYWW

Well I'm working on a new Winter Pocket letters, couple at the same time as I flip back and forth and one has next to nothing other then the colour done. I find I don't make quick Pocket Letters and one I'm making I haven't hand coloured anything I've been using these wonderful die cuts but it feels funny not hand colouring anything so I think I'm going to add something of my colouring in the mix it's more of a collage Christmas theme this one. Up to the Right is my Bling /Sequin Box ,it's getting rather full but who cares it sparkles ALOT lol  Put them into little mini zip lock baggies so I don't spill them everywhere  One day I will bur for now I'm safe :)

 This a Halloween Pocket letter I just got filled with sequins and lots more sparkly goodness None that I owned at all so I was amazed at all the stash that Denise From a swap group added into the envelope it was really sweet of her I see a lot of shaker cards and if you ever get a card from me there is going to be a really good chance there will be sequins or confetti in it lol

Happy WOYWW hugs Nikki

WOYWW

Happy WOYWW  So Here is my desk this week the cards I know tidy right I had to flip the cards upside down to hide them for the time being but my little shop Limited Runs is joining in the Fall Coffee hop this year. I'm excited to do something totally different for me So I'm trying to make a few creations up for it. I've never had help with it and never had a DT ever but I do have one amazing gal Hev helping me on facebook and she's been a wonderful dream and so helpful to me it's fab cause let's be honest I'd get distracted and forget somedays ... artists we can get so flaky as the DH says Lost in one thing or another ... OH is that a SHINY BOBBLE LOL!!

Found this punch and stamp set at Dollarama for only $ 4.00 it's an EK success set that use to sell in Micheals for Over $30. but shipping would cost a wee bit for sure it's a heavy punch and the stamps are on a think foam so it would be a package I can weight = 650 grams with no package

 Now Here is my space sorting through the last of my old Halloween stash if you see something message me it all can be sold (the stuff in the packages ) stamps, Dies,Paper Stickers and I have more but it don't fit on my desk 

Have a wonderful day and I'll try to get around to as many people as I can :)

hugs Nikki
