Thursdays with Lindsay

Good Morning!  You know, there is nothing better to me than a really good cup of coffee in the morning.  I enjoy it when it's steaming hot and it's cool outside.  I finally got my Cricut Expression and I've been playing with it a bit.  Not has much as I'd hoped, but some and I've learned something.  I've learned that I have a lot to learn about it.  But I am rather excited about it because I now have a bigger canvas to use all the great SVG files that are available the require a bigger canvas.

Back around Christmas time, Lindsay released an SVG file for a Christmas Cookie box and I couldn't cut it with the the baby bug, so all I could do was simply admire it.  I finally got to play with it!  It's not Christmas time, but the box itself is so versatile.

I used this box to give the gift of coffee.  I cut the bag out and then traced the top scalloped part onto some white card stock and then adhered it off-set a bit.  I then used the Embossed Mats scallop circle that came with the set and I used All-Around Phrases (Add On) for the sentiment.  I printed out my favorite image from the Coffee Talk set and centered that with pop-dots.  I've decided I need a coffee mug that is lime green with pink polka dots!  I finished it off with coffee beans in a cello bag and tied it up with ribbon.

Supplies:
Card Stock:  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Paper:  All That Scraps (unsure of the maker)
Copics:  RV10, RV13, W-3, YG00, YG03
Tools:  CM Circle Cutters, SCAL/Cricut

I hope my easy gift will inspire you to try out the amazing SVG files that Lindsay has available as well as her wonderful images.  Now be sure to visit Lindsay and the rest of the team.  Thank you for stopping by!
