Need Coffee

Java Time from the MFP Stamp Shop

Hello, Friends! Recently the power went out on our mountain and in neighboring communities as well.  We had water in jugs in the refrigerator, and water we could boil  or tote to bathrooms because we live on a stream.   This was not a quick outage.  We couldn't leave  the mountain for two days because a tree was over a power line.We spent the whole weekend the old fashioned way. So after it was all over, I made my list.  At the top?  A French press coffee maker because pouring boiling water slowly through a coffee maker yielded mixed results and we were not happy.  So now I own a French press which makes a delicious 8 cups of coffee and I am ready for the next power outage.  

Fingers crossed that it doesn't come too soon!

Make Your Own Chevrons

Hello, dear friends. Kren here again with a challenge to use chevrons on a card.  You may own a "rick rack" style die, but I do not.  Lucky for me, SpeedyTV has a tutorial on how to make your own chevrons which you can find in the tutorial section.  It was so easy and I will be making my own chevron embellishments from now on. 

Not a member of SpeedyTV?  It's free and easy to become part of the MFP family.

 I used Java Time to invite a friend to have coffee with this "tent topper" card.

I wanted a bright and cheery card so I thought the bold colors of the chevron and the circle for the image would make it "pop."  Hope you like the effect.

The inside has another chevron and a little space for my message.  

Hope you will join us at the MFP Stamp Shop blog challenge/SFF this week.
