My final entry for the current PINK challenge at Double D features a coffee themed card that I gave to my sweet hubby this year for Valentine's Day. He is the coffee brewer at our home… and he makes an amazing cuppa! I love the building digis from Scribbles Designs and had fun decorating this Café with coffee papers from a 6x6 Echo Park pad (that is sadly no longer available.)

I’m entering this card into several challenges including the Path Of Positivity Challenge- the optional twist in the current challenge is Celebrate Something Special about my family or a specific family member. My hubby has been my best friend for 46 years and my spouse for 44, is my personal comedian (he truly has the best wit of anyone I’ve ever known!) He is an MD (Internal Medicine)  but had to close his practice in 1987 for health issues. Today, he is moving through the final stage of MS. Yet, in spite of the many challenges he has faced, and new ones he faces daily, he has a positive attitude and unwavering faith. If you can’t tell, I kinda like the guy!), Cupcake Inspirations- any Café that I frequent regularly has both coffee AND cupcakes!, and the Outlawz Saturday Paper Ala Mode Challenge-I’m looking forward to the day when I can, once again, meet friends for coffee and cupcakes and give a hug of greeting and/or a hug at goodbye! (I’m a hugger, which is one more thing I miss because of COVID.)
