      I embellished this colorful fall card with lots of punched leaves in several colors and sizes for the current challenge at The Paper Shelter.

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Cupcake Inspirations: favorite foods (this card features my favorite beverage, coffee, and one of my favorite foods, muffins), and Park Hopping-My Happy Place (I’ve been told that the best coffee can be found in Disney Parks. And I’m sure they offer lots of yummy baked treats, too!)

Supplies: 

·   The Paper Shelter Digital Stamp  (Pixie Caramel Macchiato)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Simon Says Wednesday: 4 Legged Friends (during college I had several unusual work study jobs and one of them was caring for the white mice used for psychology labs. I wasn’t sure what that meant until I took a freshmen psych class where we taught mice to go through mazes by reinforcing their “choices” with treats,) and Outlawz Sunday Challenge: Summers End (a few of the lines that inspired me reflect that I love sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee, and savoring the beauty of the season.)
