Hello, friends! Are you staying warm? I have a darling collection of mitten stamps and dies - you shouldn't be surprised as I do live in The Mitten state!
Just us Girls #758's Mood Board by Bobby gave me the perfect time to bring a pair out to play. There have been many iterations of this card over the years - wink.
See if you can find the photo that inspired my card here:
There's no doubt it's that cup of coffee, right?
I couldn't help but add that little pinecone to the end of my tea bag string!
It is from my newest sale-buying-binge from
Spellbinders: Hemlock, Cones, and Chickadee.
Would you like to see it closeup?
We are experiencing bitter cold temperatures - accompanied by some pretty fierce winds: not a good combination! Thankfully we haven't had much snow! All that white outside does make for a pretty good photography session... always find the bright side, right?
I have a few more cards up my sleeve - see you again soon-ish!

You have nailed that photo, Michele! Perfection, my friend!
I am pleased to see your signature grey and white making a comeback. That little acorn works perfectly to turn your coffee into tea. Such lovely texture too xx
Gosh, I see so much crafty creativity in this card, Michele. It makes my heart happy to look at it. The more I look, the more I love -- those pretty mittens, the steam and hearts coming out of the cup, the trees in the background... and the perfect pinecone on the teabag tag! This is a fine example of using your stash!
your inspiration is clear to see in the photo. Love the textured background and the mittens. The pine cone is a lovely bit of whimsy too.
Oh my gosh - your creativity has no bounds. This card is aaaaaaaamazing Michele. Such detail on those mittens and amazing background, even on that cute cup. Swooning here! Thanks bunches and so glad you shared it with us at JUGS.
