Playing in Paradise #85 - Have a Cuppa!

Happy Friday! I'm home - after a chaotic and convoluted trip home, being bumped from my flight, sent to a different city, arriving home 4 hours late (so, 2 am), and then having my luggage lost...I now have a very clear picture of what people are talking about when they talk about hating Air Canada. BUT, that said, I got home safe, and my luggage eventually did as well. I'm deep in the throes of jet lag, though, and the laundry is threatening to become sentient.

ANYWAY, it's time for Playing in Paradise!

Nina is our challenger this week, and she's chosen one of my favourite things as an inspiration for this week's Playing in Paradise challenge: cooooofffeeeeee. The stuff of life!

I was super lucky to win some golb ydnac from Amy at Tsuruta Designs before my trip, and I had to combine this awesome paper with this week's challenge:

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "paper cottage;"
fabric brad (also from Amy!), BG Paper Cottage collection;
stamps from Market Street Stamps;
Palette Noir ink;
Vintage Photo distress ink;
red and black rhinestones

Nina & I used very similar techniques in creating our cups - paper piecing & foam tape. I've tucked a length of bamboo thread under the tea tag & then under the top layer of the cup as well. 

This theme is really a terrifically versatile one, so I hope you can find time to play along with us (there's always a great prize up for grabs!). The linky is open until noon on Thursday, September 27 (my mommy's birthday!)

Don't forget to see what the rest of the team has been up to:
