The Heart Desires & Fall Coffee Hop!

Fall is definitely here, and one of the many things we have to look forward to is the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop!  So many prizes, and fun to be had by all!

I'm so happy to have made TWO cards yesterday... The Heart Desires September inspiration was the impetus:


I LOve the colors, and those stripes get me EVERY time!  I may just be back with another using the sketch ... which I totally forgot this time ... oops!  Leaving it 'sentiment-less' was intentional, however =]

An adored little gift from a special friend, that MFT mini fringe is SO fun!
SSS provides the blooms, paint chips provide the colors!
 
Up next:
 
 
I think you'll be able to figure out which card goes to which challenge, right?
 
Have a great Saturday... see you at the Hop!

  1. Two real cuties, Michele! LOVE those stripes, and those flowers. So darn clever to be 'handed' a cup of coffee, too. Pretty sure you've got a winner or two here. Fabulous cards. How's the new house? Settled yet, or still getting there? Enjoy. Bev
