Coffee on the go.

Coffee on the go, take time to smell the coffee. Done on smaller tags, stenciled and stamped. Did these for our Sunday market but had a bad day and come home with all of them. I added ribbon and only put a $1 each. on them.

Coffee

Anyone for a Cappuccino ?

Recycled paper, distress inks, Darkroom Door Coffee Time stamps kept me productive. Now to get my creative juices going to put these onto cards or tags.

Tag Holder

Tags have become one of my favorite things at the moment and i needed to store them to show off.....found in my stash a notebook about the size of the tags and covered it with a serviette and clear gloss sealer and had odd letters left from a project which were perfect. I glued 2 pages together and then on each page i put in corners to hold the tags so they can be removed and stay put if needed.
Washi tape dressed up the spine.
