"Some things are just better strong: coffee, men and the button on my jeans!"
I've had two cups of coffee this morning, feeling like a I got a lot done although I never really moved from the computer chair! Lots of designing, lots of organizing...which I suppose are good things.
Stopping by quick to let you know that I had a quick tutorial on how to achieve a "comic book look" on the Skipping Stones Design Blog this past Thursday. It's a really fun technique that gives a different feel to stamps.
I was inspired by the Warm and Cozy Challenge over at Young Crafter's Unite, pulling out the coffee colored tones of brown, tan and then threw in a punch of red. Nothing says warm and cozy like sipping on a hot cup of coffee on a chilly fall morning.
I left some love over at SSD the other day, but love the coloring job.
