I am excited to have a Coffee Lovers Blog Hop happen on one of my breaks so that I can easily play along! It was a challenge deciding which of my coffee stamps to incorporate, as I seem to have acquired quite a few now, but I settled on using some die cuts to play along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and used the layout at Freshly Made Sketches. I decided to second generation stamp my steam coming out of the cups to achieve more of a lightness. I hope to play along with the hop some more if I can find time - I love making these cards :). Cheers to spring!

Baking Powder Biscuits

It is the first day of Spring Break - woo! This morning I woke up rested and thought I would make some Seafood Chowder with the delicious Mitchell's Soup Co. mix (a local BC company!) that I got as a gift awhile ago. I thought it would be nice to accompany this soup with some biscuits when I went to serve it. I pulled out this great recipe I originally got in my Grade 8 Foods class that I have made adjustments to over the years. I thought I would type it up on Canva and see how it looked :)

Simply Sympathy

Here is a sympathy card I created. I got an idea in my mind and I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I am linking up with the "make your own background" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
I used a piece of parchment paper that I got in the January Simon Says Stamp Card Kit and combined it with the pink cardstock from that kit and some Verve stamps. I love the soft lavender colour that the two papers together created. I wanted my white flowers to have a hint of a sparkle, so I used the white shimmer ink from that kit as well before embossing.
Paper - Cotton Candy cardstock, Blue Gray parchment paper (SSS);
Stamps - Simply Amazing, Blessings (Verve);
Ink - Blush (CTMH); White Shimmer (Tsukineko Delicata).
