Although I have never drank nor plan to drink coffee, I bought this set because it is so stinkin cute and my customers love coffee!
Here is a card I cased from a tutorial sent me by a friend. I did decorate the inside but forgot to photograph it - lol. I chose not to use an exacto knife to cut the coffee pot handle out for a couple reasons and the both have to do with cutting myself/preventing that! lol
I love using our Watercolor paper and how it effects the coloring! It is so much nicer to watercolor on this paper than any other because it truly looks like a watercolor painting when you are done.
Supplies:
I hope you are inspired to use your Morning Cup stamp set and watercolor paper!
Have an awesome day!

My daughter found a car on "craigslist" and wanted to buy it. she called to ask my advice (after emailing them about it) and the second she told me they wanted a Wire transfer of money from Western Union, I KNEW it was a SCAM and she would NEVER see the car or her money!
It brought me to this post about phishing- those emails asking you for your personal info to verify your account.... well please, please, please, read this article from the FTC website
You MAY already know about this but would you please re read this and then be sure that you share this with your friends, family and elderly and TEENAGERS! After what just happened and Katie calling me for advice, it made me realize that we must educate our loved ones!! Now I am off to actaully get to my studio for some serious creating- UGH what a morning this has been! Thank goodness she called me about it or it would have been a hot mess! Oh and get this- that person some supposid woman emailed me back and called me names! I sent "her" (ya right) a copy of the craigst list scam notice as well as the ebay one and said- you have been reported to the FBI, Craigs list, Ebay and the FTC- so who is the "retard" now! roflol
Phishing is a scam where internet fraudsters send spam or pop-up messages to lure personal and financial information from unsuspecting victims. To avoid getting hooked:
"We suspect an unauthorized transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below and confirm your identity."
"During our regular verification of accounts, we couldn't verify your information. Please click here to update and verify your information."
Have you received email with a similar message? It's a scam called "phishing" — and it involves internet fraudsters who send spam or pop-up messages to lure personal information (credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security number, passwords, or other sensitive information) from unsuspecting victims.
According to OnGuard Online, phishers send an email or pop-up message that claims to be from a business or organization that you may deal with — for example, an Internet Service Provider (ISP), bank, online payment service, or even a government agency. The message may ask you to "update," "validate," or "confirm" your account information. Some phishing emails threaten a dire consequence if you don't respond. The messages direct you to a website that looks just like a legitimate organization's site. But it isn't. It's a bogus site whose sole purpose is to trick you into divulging your personal information so the operators can steal your identity and run up bills or commit crimes in your name.
OnGuard Online suggests these tips to help you avoid getting hooked by a phishing scam:
Anti-virus software and a firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Anti-virus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses as well as older ones; that can effectively reverse the damage; and that updates automatically.
A firewall helps make you invisible on the internet and blocks all communications from unauthorized sources. It's especially important to run a firewall if you have a broadband connection. Operating systems (like Windows or Linux) or browsers (like Internet Explorer or Netscape) also may offer free software "patches" to close holes in the system that hackers or phishers could exploit.
Learn other ways to avoid email scams and deal with deceptive spam at ftc.gov/spam.
If you've received spam that is phishing for information:
If you believe you've been scammed:

and from ebay-
Directly from EBAY’s official website
Avoid:

If this weren't so VERY important I would not have shared the entire thing-
Please educate your loved ones!!!

Well, for those who emailed me the last couple of days to ask that very question......
;o)
I have been knee deep all week in this...... Fall Decorating my ENTIRE house inside and outside! Yes! All the rooms have fall decor except for one storage room. I am as crazy decorating for fall as I am for Christmas!
I have started a new photo album titled Fall Decor 2010 so be sure to click that album in the right column to see my fall decor. As you can see by my dining table, I have not finished yet and I bought a new wreath for the front door today at Hobby Lobby. I have a few things to hot glue into it and will have it up about Monday or Tuesday. Check back often during the next 2 weeks to the photo album to see more photos as I add them.
What have you been doing all week?

I love this technique but I have modified it for this page. Instead if using a magazine page to emboss the flowers on, I used our awesome Elegant Soiree designer paper # 117163.
I also used my Cricut for the lettering because I wanted something a bit more elegant for this page.
I know that Katie will love it when she sees it in her scrapbook! I am so far behind with my pages.............. about 17 years for her and 28 years for my sons. I just remind myself- I dont HAVE to scrap every photo and working on a few pages a month will one day catch me up! sigh......
This page was created for the Soul-Scrappers technique Challenge come on over and play along and see all the details about this page!
Later on I will add the personal journaling to the strip at the bottom of the page but not today! lol
I hope this inspires you to create a project. And we at Soul-Scrappers would LOVE for you to join our fun, FREE and inspiring group!
