Coffee Sleeve...

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles. -Jimmy Carter

I am a Green Girl...I Recycle, ReUse, Eat Organic, Shut off lights behind everyone and generally annoy people with my soapbox speeches, so when I recently got a cuppa at a local deli and saw that the sleeve on my cup was extra texure-y and cute I thought "Rachel, you Must figure out how to use this!!!"


It is Elzybells Bi-Weekly Challenge time and this time we have a simple little recipe for you to use to cook up some creations...your card/project should include Elzybells Stamps, of course (at least the majority or main focal image,) 1 Circle, 1 Ribbon and 1 Embellishment. I am not entirely sure wether it means 1 Type of embellishment or 1 Embellishment period...so I went safe and used ONE little tiny lonely brad! :)

Do you see it???? huh, huh???? Do Ya???? Yep, that band around the card...with the cups...the pretty texture-y strip...that used to be a coffee cup sleeve!!!! Hee hee, I am so proud of myself! Can ya tell??? ;)

Supplies:
Stamps:
Cool Beans (Elzybells)
Paper: Garden Green, Whisper White (SU,) Kraft CS (Memory Box,) Coffee Cup Sleeve :D
Ink:
Rich Cocoa (Memento,) Copic Markers
Misc: Twill Ribbon, Glitter Brad,
White Gel Pen, Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch

Make sure and link your creation to Elizabeth's Blog if you play along...you have 2 weeks to play!!! And don't forget check out what the other ladies created:
