Hi Guys and Welcome to our June Diva Inspiration Blog Hop!!
If you're hopping right along from the start than you probably just got here from Sankari's Blog, right?! Perfect...oh and if you haven't then let me point you to where all the fun starts: Betty's Blog.
We have some news for you (aaand a full list of Diva eye candy I might add)...some changes to our teams and two fabulous new Plain Jane's Julee has come up with for you...one of them you can see here on my card!! I feel like I've lived my life by this saying...especially this year. Sometimes it's just wiser to take it one day at a time because if you don't you can get easily overwhelmed but anybody can do one day at a time. :)
I've been drinking a lot of coffee lately so this card was actually inspired by the coffee shop I go to and its' decor. The cute little coffee cup stamp is from the Verve set Delightful and Delicious. A lot of distressing, stitching and cute little accents finish it up. :)
So a quick little update on how I'm doing before I'll direct you on your merry hop way. :)
I was so very fortunate to have gotten an internship this term and it was great. I learned a lot and some of you may have already seen my work on TV. :) I have one more week left to finish up this term and an insane amount of work left to do but nothing a few hours less sleep can't fix. And then one more term after that and then it's time to graduate and find a job! Ah!! lol Good times...but before I do that I am going out of town for a week to see my family and I plan on doing a whole lot of relaxing by the pool and the beach. :)
okay that's about it for me... Your next stop on the Hop is Susan!!!!
Have a great start of the Summer!!!!
thank you so much for stopping by and til next time,
Sony :)

You are so right: things are so much more manageable if you have short-term goals (one day) to aim for. Love your card and the graphic colors. It's very edgy.

What a fun card! It's so cool that it was inspired by the coffee shop you go to! I hope you enjoy your vacation and relax!!! Love your card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cheerful card! I love the bold elements.
ReplyDeleteI've been to your site on other blog hops but never strolled through to see your work. I took that opportunity today and have to tell you how distinctive I find your style! Much to learn here so I shall have to subscribe! At first, I thought your coffee cup was covering the word "day" and chuckled at the idea of "One Cup of Coffee At A Time'! That would be an interesting way to use this great Verve stamp. I'd love to see your TV work... perhaps you would PM me with some info.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your card and all the stitching and distressed edges! That is a great sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteSony, this is wonderful! Love the distressed elements and colors. Fantastic design! I just love the touch of sparkle! I think of you often and hope all is well with school and your dad!
ReplyDeleteBeing a tea drinker, I could relate to your card also! Love that cup little cup! Now, go get some rest!
ReplyDeleteA lovely card love the design and colours used.
