Tea? YES Please!

The theme this week at Shopping Our Stash is coffee/tea. 
I LOVE my chai tea every morning - I love to get up before everyone 
else and enjoy a big cuppa chai - it's the perfect way to start the day, 
actually it's the perfect way to start every day. I'm enjoying a big
cuppa right now. :)


make a coffee/tea themed card or project!




I love this sentiment from Verve Stamps! 
Some days there's nothing as calming or comforting 
as a big cuppa chai. This was one of those weeks.

I colored the cup with watercolor pencil crayons, cut it out and used some
pieces of foam sheet to add it to the card base. 
I used the sentiment to help ground the image - as if it's the table the cup is
sitting on.

Very clean and very simple.


Happy Stampin'

Hello Susan: Besides your gorgeous CAS card, that sentiment is just amazing, love it, totally true, my ritual every day is to have a nice mug of freshly brewed coffee every morning, no matter what I have to do afterwards, one cup is what I need before I can deal with whatever the day will throw at me.
Do not talk to me, do not turn bright lights early in the morning, I'm talking 4am.....before I have that very important first cup.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we hope you play again next time.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.DT

Thank you Maria :) I had a 4:30 morning today which means not only is there a very important first cup but there's also that 'not quite there yet' second cup!
