Now onto what I created... I LOVE COFFEE! I think I'm even more dependent on it since I've been having a super stressful semester at school. I find crafting therapeutic and squeeze in the time to create every now and then :) Thanks SO MUCH for visiting and leaving me love. I will have a giveaway here next month as I get closer to 6 months of my crafting journey. I strongly encourage you to visit other blogs - I'm in awe of all the creativity out there :) There are already over 230 entries!
I will be offering blog candy! Just leave a comment on this post to be eligible and I'll select a winner Monday. It's a surprise :) Make sure to leave your e-mail address so I am able to contact you. If you'd like, I'd love to know how long you've been crafting for and what you like to do with the cards you make. Bonus entry if you subscribe to my blog. :)
I've been really busy with school so I didn't have too much time to go all out with my cards, and I have been in a creative slump. I will post them anyway. ♥
I started off with my favorite type of card: shaker cards. They require a little extra effort but are totally worth it. I used Neat and Tangled's Warm Wishes for this one.
Be sure to check out my other posts from today. Have a great day!

I love shaker cards! I just made one the other day and posted it today! They are so fun! Yours looks amazing and I love the sequins! I would be so excited to win your candy! I've been crafting for about 9 years, but not very regularly until I lost my job 2 1/2 years ago - now I've got lots of time to craft! I give my cards to family and friends and also donate to charity or collections like Caring Hearts, SAS4K, Sunshine Mail, etc.
