I like you more than coffee - 2016 Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Happy Sunday!  Welcome to the 2016 Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I am thrilled to have finally found some time to create a card for the hop!  It has been quite some time that I created a card and realized today just how much I have missed it!

Thank you Amy and DT for all the wonderful inspiration and for all of you who have joined, I have been drooling over all your beautiful designs!

Thank you for stopping by - off to hop!  Enjoy your week - Cathy

Happy bee day - SFYT23

Happy Saturday! I know......it's been a long time, but I have been busy purging old scrap stuff and reorganizing by room, but today, I just had to make one card and I chose this months sketch from Reverse Confettti. I purchased this stamp set and die set (The Buzz) last release along with the banner die and have been itchin' to use it!

This card was made with scraps I have been hoarding - so unsure of who or what! That's one of my promises to myself to try to use what I have and then purchase new! We'll see how long that lasts! ;)

Well, thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Cathy xxx
