Summer Coffee Lovers Hop {Stop & Smell the Coffee}

Hello crafty friends! It's time for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I could not participate in the Spring hop because I was pregnant and unable to craft easily! SO I am delighted to be able to share a card for the Summer hop! Today I am featuring some products from SugarPea Designs.



I decided to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I LOVED the sketch and took a different approach to it with the coffee cup and sentiments from the SugarPea Designs sets called Caffeine Addict and Espresso Yourself.

Caffeine-AddictEspresso-Yourself 

The sketch was a fun one from my pal, Karren and I was truly inspired! I used my copic markers to colour the cups in one of my favourite color combinations-Aqua and Coral.

The design is simple and easy to mass produce plus is a flat for mailing!! I think the sentiment works well for my teaching friends who are finishing up the school year!
