This month's challenge was a real challenge for me. I am tired and it's Monday. My brain is not in super-creative mode, I guess. Here's the photo:

{Today's Brew: Latte Love stamp set and die (PTI), Pretty Peonies die (PTI), PTI inks and card stock, polka embossing folder, circle stencil, prisma marker}


When in doubt, coffee.

Happy Monday, cafe friends!
