Coffee Date


Hi, Coffee Loving fans!  I'm really excited about our new feature where each of the DT invite one of their friends for a crafting 'Coffee Date'!

I'm thrilled to have my good friend Mary Reiner join me today! Mary and I have known each other for a long time (a really long time) and over the last several years have shared our love for cardmaking!  Here's a little bit about Mary...

 
Hi! My name is Mary Reiner and I live in Columbus, Ohio. I’m married and have two children in their twenties.  By day, I am a test coordinator for a local school district.   Paper crafting has been part of my life for over 25 years. I started making scrapbooks when my children were younger; but eventually card making took over. I’ve been making cards for about 10 years. After a stressful day, I look forward to my crafting time. Just give me some chocolate and some pretty paper and I’m good! Kathy and I met about 25 years ago when we both worked for Limited Too. She made awesome projects back then as well! We reconnected a few years ago at a paper crafting garage sale and now we get to see each other pretty often.  I’m so happy she asked me to be her “coffee date.” 

Our cards were inspired by a sketch and color combo:


  Here's Mary's card (it's it beautiful?!)

    The stamps are so cute. I love coffee themed cards! Just about everyone loves coffee, so the cards can be changed to fit many occasions (just change the sentiment). Thanks for showing us.

    Love the colors and brightness of the design papers used and your interpretation of the sketch. Your cards always inspire me during the Coffee Lovers BlogHop. It's fun to see side by side the interpretations of the sketch and colors used.
