Today I opened up a package of the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP and now I know what all the fuss has been about.  This is one gorgeous pack of paper.   The picture in the catalog definitely does not do this paper pack justice. 

I think they should have named it Mocha Madness cause once you see it you will be mad for it. 

I am also working on  my coloring skills and this hostess set, Faith in Nature is a really good set to practice with. 

Supplies
Stamps:  Faith in Nature (hostess set)
Ink: Black Stazon, Watercolor Crayons
Paper:  Confetti White, Basic Black , Mocha Morning Specialty DSP
Big Shot: Vintage Wallpaper TIEF
Extras:  Circle Cutter, Black Satin Ribbon

I have been thinking about the CPC (Craft Project Central) Creating Pretty Cards Challenge #2 sketch.  I had this idea and finally made the time to sit down and make it.   The card did not turn out exactly how I envisioned it but its close.  You can tell I have a  lot of new product in da house!  As I worked on the card I kept wanting to use more and more of the Holiday mini catalog goodies, it is almost embarrassing.  I think everything  glittery or shiny made it on the card!  So please excuse my lack of restraint and know I  just couldn't help myself.

Were you blinded by all the glittery goodness?
