I should be writing my papers...but wanted an excuse to craft some more. Pictures always look better in natural daylight, but I just took these now so they aren't that great...

Here's another project I'm linking to the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Don't forget to comment on my first post for a chance to win some blog candy and for other details about the blog hop! :) I think a coffee bookmark is perfect for those bookworms who enjoy a warm drink when reading! ;D Can you tell that I get color-happy with all my projects? You can probably see the shimmery gold look in the second picture.

And since everyone seemed to love the bookmarks, I'll throw those in with the blog candy :)

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!
