Welcome to my stop on the My Favorite Things' mid-June Blog Hop! I'm so excited to be participating in the first blog hop since I joined My Favorite Things' design team!!! How cool is that?!
First of all, if you didn't get here from Michele's blog, head on over to Kim's blog and the beginning--I don't want you to miss a single bit of the gorgeousness that leads up to my stop :) If you did get here from Michele's, you're in the right place.
My Favorite Things is releasing two new sets tonight at midnight! Here are the deets and some other information:
I Need Coffee Flopsey $9
Rainy Day Friends (Fizer) $15.95
Weekly Spotlight: Crystal collections and applicator Spotlight Savings (Wed-Tues): 10% off all crystal collections
HTDT Tutorial: Using your crystals: Cindy
First 50: The first 50 orders will receive free Heidi Swapp stickers!
I also want to remind you about the weekly challenges that are posted every Thursday in the My Favorite Things Forum on Splitcoast. Every week there's a new sketch challenge and a new My Favorite Challenge--something different every week to kick-start your mojo. Winners are chosen and there's a prize involved for each challenge.
OK, now on to my project :) I'm showing you a set I made using the new I Need Coffee Flopsey. I love him! I know I said that before, but I *really* {heart} him! Love those fuzzy slippers!! One reason I love him is that he reminds me of my brother, LOL. You never see him without a cup of coffee in his hand. He's got a birthday coming up so I made this set for him. Here's the entire set:
I have a thermal coffee mug that I just had to decorate up with a belly band (my brother usually carries a ceramic mug around so I thought this would be better), two of his favorite coffee blends in My Favorite Things' Perfect Packaging 16 oz. squared jars, a gussied up bag to put them in, and, of course, a card.

The card is mug shaped and I love how it turned out. The "coffee" in the mug is Creamy Caramel paper colored with Copic markers--I was really surprised at how well they blended on regular card stock!! And yes, the card actually opens up! After I cut out the card, I ran the front through my Cuttlebug with the Script embossing folder, and then swiped over that with my Creamy Caramel ink pad.
