Love of Coffee

 

Love of Coffee 

This card features a stamp and Die Cut from Stampin Up. Done in orange and bright colored cardstock  with  sentiments. 

We love coffee at my house. And our local coffee roaster Community Coffee out of Baton rouge is a winner. You can smell it roasting as you enter the city. 

My Mom used too send care packages to us in Michigan of coffee before they opened a website so I would not miss the taste.
