Coffee Break with Merry Monday

Time for our first Merry Monday challenge

of October.

Christmas will be here before we know it!

Lovely Lori chose this challenge for us.

I get the idea that Lori loves coffee! LOL!

I had to think about this one.

I have this one stamp that can be used for coffee, so I went with that.

I added a gingerbread cookie because I think gingerbread is better with coffee.

It's certainly not bad on it's own though.

The coffee mug is embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a shine and

the gingerbread man is "Winked with Stella" to add some sugary fun.

I stamped the mug a second time on a bit of Early Espresso cardstock,

cut it out and paper pieced it into the cup.

That reminds me of this month's 

Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge

I hope you'll take a coffee break and join us this week at

Merry Monday.

I'm glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!
