Paola and Kadie are the hostesses for this round and here's what Paola explained:
"My new partner Kadie and I got our heads together and decided it was time to put YOU through an 'arduous task' in asking what's your favorite brew of all? Are you a tea person or a coffee person? (or, are you perhaps both?) Any particular kind of tea or coffee you prefer? Tell us all about your brew of choice, and let's have fun dueling"Dazzlers' Kit deets:

Lots to work with for sure! Here's what I ended up with:
This card took several turns in opposite directions, this is nothing like what I started out creating.
Isn't that pretty paper? I love the image and the sentiment is finished on the inside:
The colors are a little softer on the inside than this picture portrays.
We were asked to share our favorite brew...I love me a vanilla latte, but don't indulge often. Daily is Hazelnut for me. But I only have 2 cups in the early morning. After that it's herbal tea for me. I enjoy the fruit flavored ones and have different favs during the various seasons of the year.
Thank you Sweet P for such a GREAT kit this month!
(She included a tiny packet of her espresso grind - made all the embellishments smell
like a coffee house...oooooh it was so hard not to go get some coffee!)
Stop on by the Divas & Dazzlers for a cuppa Joe!

Beautiful card Darlene - love your colours and the way it turned out, despite the fact it had a mind of it's own as to how it was going to look!!

Darlene--this card is so sweet--I love it! The colors are perfect and I love the die you used for the image. Great papers too!
What a lovely card and a sweet idea to be having a cuppa with a friend. I'm an herbal tea person myself. My favorites - Raspberry Zinger and Pomegranate Pizazz!
I love the little border punch! This is so pretty! :)
What a fabulous card. Cute image and lovely design and layout. I drink mostly water, but love flavored lemonades in the Summer time and sometimes some herbal tea.
Great card Darlene! Love the sentiment that continues to the inside! Also really like the colors :-)
