I think it is important for people to know which coffee is which. Wouldn't want a Decaf person to end up with fully loaded coffee. Although some might get a giggle out of it. LOL So here we have label cards to let people know which is which.
Enjoy!

I purchased the Workshops On The Go® Advent Calendar Kit from Close to My Heart because I loved the look of it but when it arrived and my DH saw it and decided he wanted it made with different papers. He loves it! He gets so excited every night after dinner to empty the days box of the candies inside LOL. Here is my version.
I wanted to enter the Peachy Keen Stamps September Release Party so I decided to play with my new Close to my Heart Cricut cartridge ARTISTE. It came out so cute I think!
Welcome to the first Challenge for our September stamp release!Your hostess for this challenge is the talented and very creative Michelle Criswell. Michelle's Challenge: Use "3 of Something" on your card or project. You can make anything you'd like for this challenge, as long as it follows Michelle's guidelines, AND you need to use the Peachy Keen Stamps of your choice. ONLY entries using PKS will be considered for the prize. In order to have all the entries in one place, please upload your photo here on the PK Connection and when uploading, tag your photos with the key words SEPTEMBERCHALLENGE#1 (all caps and NO spaces). That's all you need to do! All photos with that tag will be grouped together in one place so that we may easily count the entries. We'll take it from there and choose a random winner from all those entered! For playing along with this challenge, you will be entered to win the following newly released stamp set, PK-131 Happy Haunting Ghosts that Michelle so beautifully showcases in her sample. Isn't it ADORABLE? Entries for both challenges will be combined for the grand prize drawing of a $50 Gift Certificate to Peachy Keen Stamps, therefore, entering BOTH challenges will double your chances of winning the BIG PRIZE! Challenges will remain open until Sunday, September 9th at 11:59 p.m. CST and the winners will be featured here on the PK Connection on Monday! Good luck to everyone! We can't wait to see what you create with your Peachy Keen Stamps! Happy Stamping!!!
