We are a Latte Like - Layout #21 of the 365 scrapbook challenge and what lessons I learned with this layout

Hey Newbies,

I'm here working on number 21 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019 (and the lessons I learned).  I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.

I decided to do a coffee card today!  Those gals over at Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group are so inspiring and it's all about coffee and I LOVE coffee!

This layout was pretty simple and quick!  I started off with a digi download.  If you don't know what a digi download is click here to read my blog about them.  I found these cutie pies at Crafting Desert Divas website. 

I downloaded them and then re-sized them, each a little different.  The Christmas coffee cups on each side is ribbon that I got from an amazing haul from Joann's!  I glued them down and had to lay them flat for a while because this ribbon is made of a burlap material so it was hard to keep it glued down.  

After the ribbon stayed put, I cut a pice of brown card stock for the face of the card.   I used some brown ink and went around the edges with my ink blending tool.  

I had these awesome alphas that are actually black and gold(ish) in a weave pattern that matched well.  I added 2 sticky brads, adhered the ginger girl and boy with foam dots to give it some dimension, then added the YOU WARM MY HEART stamp at the bottom (next to the...shall I say it...gingerbread cake😱).  

Lastly, and here comes LESSON 1 for this layout, I didn't measure correctly!  I had to improvise so I cut a strip from a border I had and placed it at the top.  It had gold(ish) brown diamonds and it worked!  So...DON'T FORGET TO MEASURE PROPERLY🤦🏻‍♀️ 



Well, there you have it...number 21 of my 365 layout challenge for 2019.  Thanks for following along on my journey of 365 scrapbook page challenge that I am doing, and reading about the lessons I'm learning along the way!

Happy Scrapping🤗
