Hope you all had a great weekend :).. Monday is  already here and that means a Totally Stampalicious Challenge. The challenge this week is to use ribbons and polka dots. I decided to make a gift set this week. Candles, chocolate, coffee and Bailys.... Yummie .. To finish it all up a huge cup :) The cup was made with the bottom half of Lauren Meaders MTME Baby Buggie and I got this creative idea from  Katie. If you look closely you can see that I took the digital image of the cup (TS digital coffee brawd) , broke it apart and cut it with my cricut I also did the same with the words Espresso Yourself on the coffee mug., I also did a bit of paper piecing which fits in with Paper Sundae's Challenge  this week so I will enter that one as well .
