thinking of you...and a give-a-way...

Hello!

Monday already?! I tell you, Saturday in the Pacific Northwest was absolutely incredible. It hit as high as 70 degrees...unbelievable for this time of the year. Darin and I thoroughly enjoyed it by taking a long walk along the water and rewarding that walk with a delish brunch at a local cafe. Sunday was another weather story...back to the usual PNW stuff...rainy and dreary...perfect for crafting:)

First up is my take on the Card Patterns sketch # 56:


I teamed up the sketch with the MFW's Tuesday Trigger:


I was inspired by the colors...love that pillow!!

I broke into my new Schlosser Designs set, Furnishing Fun.


I used the chair image in the Furnishing Fun set and teamed it up with Basic Grey Mellow.

Next up is some Cutting Cafe fun!

If you've been following my blog for any length of time you know how much I adore coffee:



I teamed up Cutting Cafe goodness with the latest Poppy Seed Challenge:


I used the Cutting Cafe's coffee cup shaped card...

I tell you, this is the ultimate Pacific Northwest Card:) Coffee and Galoshes..LOL.
Regina of The Cutting Cafe is letting us give-a-way FREE stuff!!! In honor of my coffee addiction...I'd love to give-a-way both the Coffee Cup Shaped Card and Got Coffee? Printable Stamp set compliments of Regina!!! Leave me a comment on this post and I'll do a random draw on Wednesday, March 24th...in honor of my daughter's birthday!
{commenting for the give-a-way will close on Tuesday, March 23rd @ mid-nite PDT}

Whew, mondo long post...but I wanted to end with a RAK I received from the very fabbie Sparkle:

Yup, I hi-jacked her pic from her recent blog post...isn't it GORGEOUS??!!! Gotta love the colors...and of course, the bling!!!! Thanks sooo much Sparks....you ROCK!
