Wishing You the Sweetest Season

Have I mentioned that I love coffee?  LOL  I'm being sarcastic, of course, because anyone who's ever stopped by my blog knows that I'm a coffee lover.  In fact, there are many days that I have far more than just one of my delicious vanilla lattes.  I need to be mindful, however, that they have more calories than we likely realize.  Oh my!  And speaking of calories....how about these delicious candy apples?  YUM

My delicious card started with cream cardstock.  I used some fabulous dies from The Greetery on this card including the Frosted Frames Die to cut my background from brown and red cardstocks.  I used the same cardstocks to cut my other images.  The darling apples were cut using the Carmel Apple Dies and the coffee mug was cut using the Cup of Java Dies from Stamp Simply.

Since I don't have the Nutty Bits pieces, I used actual chopped peanuts on my candied apple.  LOL  The sentiment I used is from Paper Sweeties.  Some Cherry Red Baker's Twine, Natural Burlap String and rusty jingle bells were the finishing touch. I made this sweet coffee/treat card to share in a few challenges where I love to play along whenever I'm able.

Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello today.  I always appreciate your visits, and I look forward to stopping by your blog and social media as well.  Have a blessed and creative week.  I hope you're enjoying some cooler temps in your neck of the woods.  It sure is nice to have a (small) break from the extreme heat here in the valley.

I'm playing along in the following:

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Challenge #33 - Coffee and Candy/Cookies - I combined my coffee mug with some yummy caramel candy apples and a Christmas sentiment.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Stamp It" - I stamped my sentiment.

Inspiration Station Challenge - September Photo Inspiration - When I think of a farm, I think of apple trees.  I was also inspired by the colors in the photo - brown, green, and red.

Come play along!

Blessings,

Karen
