Coffee Gift

I got a letter home from school that let me know I needed to send something in "coffee-related" for the class basket. Turns out each class is raffling off a basket that they compiled to raise funds for the school. I don't know how twenty plus kids are going to get inventive with "coffee" so I elected to just make some cards.

These are all digi. The image is from Dan Hannigan and the quote I swiped from somewhere. Printed six off on vanilla CS, added some ribbon and then packaged them together using a memory keeper. Phew! Glad that's done!


Positive note of the day: You should see Tristan's antics from this afternoon. He's silly.

Super idea--great card with fantastic sentiments. For some reason I did not get any updates from your blog since last Sun and was starting to worry. Well you were back today--thank goodness. Love your new blog header!

Oh, I love the simple and clean look of your card. It does look so elegant. I love, love the sentiment! Is that the envelop for the card? It is great!

Fab idea! That sentiment rocks. I may just have to swipe that for a little note card for hubby. I swear he dreams of taking over the world daily!!! Thanks for your link to the digi image. I'm going to try my hand at some digi's so if you have any helpful hints for newbies please let me know.

Our school does this too, our theme this year was gardening. What a wondeful contribution to "the cause".

Rose Ann said...

Lovin' your digi cards, Allison!! I NEED loads of that on your second card, to make it through today! (So tired, and fighting a cold. Ugh!)

This is a brilliant thought! If I was in that situation I would still be inside the box with coffee, biscotti and gift certificates!
