Take time to smell the Coffee...

 

Den ekstremt kaffe-tørste uglen på shaker-kortet er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #141. med vår generøse sponsor som denne gang er Wink Wink Ink. Teamet tar en pause til over nyåret, så dette vil bli den siste utfordringen for i år. Som vanlig kommer det en takke-bloggpost for sponsorer og følgere til jul med inspirasjon fra designteamet.

De nydelige rosene og cupcakes motivene er freebies som du finner på bloggen til Wink Wink Ink ♥ Og de kommer også i en ferdig fargelagt versjon for kjappe kort! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :) 

... NB: Ikke gå glipp av min 'X-mas Surprise BlogCandy' med masse flott scrappestæsj jeg gir bort! :) 

'For a Coffee-Lover'

My DT card today is for our last challenge of this year at Creative Fingers #141. as we will take a break for the holidays. But we'll have a thank-you-blogpost for all our sponsors & followers at christmas with some creative inspiration ♥ 
As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :)

I've made a shaker card with an extremely coffee-thirsty owl from Wink Wink Ink, our generous sponsor for this challenge. The pretty cupcake and roses are freebies wich you can find on their blog here, and they come pre-colored as well as digistamps, so an easy motif for those quickie cards! 

... And don't forget to enter for your chance to win my 'X-mas Surprise BlogCandy' with lots of awesome goodies!
