Thursdays with Lindsay

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Lindsay is releasing a new stamp set today. It's called Funky Forest Friends and I'm sure you'll recognize some of the stamps but she's added some new ones, too. Be sure to check it out on Lindsay's blog and score the freebie she has to offer, too.

I decided I wasn't feeling very foresty today - I went for one of my favorites... COFFEE. I remember in grade school we had an assembly of sorts where the whole school was in the auditorium and some guy was there teaching us these silly songs. One was about 'if at first you don't succeed...' but there was this other song that went (and these are the only words I remember) "C-O-F-F-E-E coffee is not the drink for me..." --What a ridiculous song! Of course when I got into high school I started drinking coffee. Anyway, so here's my song, I mean my card and I played with a couple of challenges along the way.


First of all, the angle in which this photo was taken made it look like I was drinking something stronger than coffee - it's not really crooked. LOL The sketch I followed is from Crafts 4 Eternity. What a great CAS sketch! It also had a recipe to it (the sketch, a punch and a knot or a bow. I forgot the bow part.) The colors came from Color Throwdown challenge: Kraft, Olive Green, Dark Brown and Dark Yellow. I colored the image with Copics and found a grosgrain ribbon in my stash that was a bit lighter than the Mustard color I used - but I thought it gave a nice contrast.

Well, thanks for stopping by and joining my little sing-a-long today. Be sure to visit Lindsay and the rest of the team. I haven't even seen any little previews of what they might have so I'll be just as surprised as you will be. Have fun!
