Breakfast in New London layout for Sketches in Thyme

Welcome
I hope you are having a great day.  This breakfast in New London, CT was a great day.  I always oh and ah over sweet breakfast pastries.  But logic wins most of the time, I didn't have any of these delicious goodies.  I opted for an egg and cheese sandwich on croissant. We ate outside watching the water, not sure if I have posted my pages of the outside photos yet. Don't worry I will get to it soon.    




I did a lot to this page. First I stamped and embossed the coffee cups.  Next I started on the background.  I stenciled coffee beans and stamped coffee rings.  Finally I splattered the background with shimmer spray.


I cut down the photos as small as would work and matted in brown card stock.  I trimmed the background card stock and matted on brown card stock.  I adhered the fussy cut coffee cups with pop dots. I finalized the layout with sticker letters for the title.


Ingredients:
Tim Holtz Coffee Time
Anna Griffin Chocolate ink
clear embossing powder
Coffee Ring stamp from stash
Stampin Up Chocolate Chip ink
Gina Marie Designs coffee stencil
Distress Ink Walnut Stain
Bazzill Gemstone card stock
Tattered Angels shimmer spray
Creative Memories sticker letters
brown card stock

Gorjuss Witch card with Creative Memories Hocus Pocus papers

Welcome to October!  It's my favorite month of the year.  I was so excited to use my "new to me" witch dies. I purchased these second hand with no packaging.  Therefore, I just did my best with google to identify them.  I recognize the "gorjuss" look.  I used a combination of card stock and alcohol markers on white cardstock to create her.


Here is the sketch I used from Tuesday Morning Sketches.


I created the moon from two Spellbinders nesting circle dies and some Distress ink.  I free handed the flag.


Ingredients:
Gorjuss "The Hour" Witch dies
Creative Memories Hocus Pocus 6x6 papers
Alcohol markers: 
Copic Neutral Gray N4 and N6
Copic E02 and another flesh I didn't record info
Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilzed Amber
Spellbinders Nesting Circle dies
various papers and card stock including Bazzill
gems
