Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers blog Hop

Today I had plans -- took off work to do some purging and card making but I got side tracked..... Spent the day watching a movie with #3, enjoying a large lunch together and worked on just one card!!  That's right, just one card --- this one for the Spring/Summer Coffee (includes tea!) Lovers Blog Hop

It's my first time participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. It's a huge blog hop and I am so excited to be participating this time around (Thank you, Carla!!)  Check it out and join the fun!  It runs until Friday, March 26. Recommended by tea swapper, Carla from The Netherlands-----and speaking of tea......

We still have our little tea (and 3x3) swap every month.  If you are interested in joining us, send me an email!!  We would love to have you join us.  Requirements are pretty simple.  For the tea swap, participants send a handmade card with two tea bags to their partner.  For the 3x3 swap, exchange 2 3x3 handmade cards to your partner.  All by the deadline.  That's it!

Stamp (girl with tea cup and sentiment): gift from gal pal, Colleen (thank you, Colleen!!) by My Favorite Things, "Alm-You're My Cup of Tea".

Background stencil: Recollections "Coastal Village"

PTI Challenge: The great cover-up

Hi!  Its been a long while and things are starting to open up here on Oahu. We are now on the third level which means more things are opened and gatherings have increased so Heads up!! Classes start up again in April. Stay tune for more info!

I decided to challenge myself to get more crafty in March so I joined Papertrey Ink/Ink to Paper  The Great Cover Up challenge. Here is my entry:

Kavya shared a video on faux watercolor.  Okaay......I admit...I didn’t care for the technique when I started creating this card. It just did not seem my style BUT it didn’t take too long before I was having some fun, adding watercolors and just having fun...after all, I just had to enjoy the spattering of paint at the end😂

Now that was fun and I am happy with the result... 🧐🧐 I think I’ll make more of these!!!
