There are two teams - the Divas and the Dazzlers. (I'm a Dazzler!) Each team has a hostess for the month. The two hostesses decide on a theme and then mail out card kits to their team members, without the other team knowing what is in the kits. Until today - when we reveal our cards - it is a secret what image we're using, etc.
Debbie, who lives way up in Alaska, is the Dazzler hostess this month. Oh my goodness...... you should see he fun she sent us in the kits!
But first, let me tell you this month's theme -
The Perfect Blend
(Oops! I guess I kind of, sort of, already told yo with the title of this post, didn't I?)
Debbie's words were, "What is better than coffee with freinds!!!" Soooooooo she sent us Whippersnapper Hot Java Divas images (but she renamed them Hot Java Dazzlers... LOL!!!) She also sent a sentiment, a cup image, two designer papers, buttons, twill, and even a real coffee stirrer from Starbucks. How fun!!!
Here's the card I made:
I decided to make an easel card because (honestly) it gave me more space for using the wonderful papers Debbie sent.
Here's a closer look at the fun image:

Jeanette--I love your card--such a perfect image for you to use and the easel layout is great!
