Caffeine Fueled Paper Play – A Tribute to Craftin Desert Divas!

Welcome to a new Caffeine Fueled Paper Play!  It’s the first Wednesday of the month and the start of a new challenge!  You may have heard that long time Sponsor of the Coffee Lovers Events, Craftin Desert Divas has closed its doors.  You can read more about that here if you’d like.  We will miss CDD and their adorable images, both tangible and digital stamps and fantastic dies (some of my very favorite and most used!)

We are dedicating this month’s Challenge to Craftin Desert Divas and Owner, Tara and I have some special guests for today’s post!  We’ve all used some of our favorite CDD Coffee, Tea or Cocoa products along with many others!

Without further ado, here’s how we were inspired:

Jan Phat has been a Design Team member for CDD for SO long and she has shared so much inspiration.. you could say Jan is responsible for many of the CDD purchases we’ve made over the years and she’s joining us today with not one, but two beautiful projects!

I also invited a couple of my Uber Talented Coffee Loving Teamies to join me today:

Amy Tsuruta

Helen Gullett

And finally, here’s how I was inspired:

Lisa Bzibziak

You can click on our names to visit each of us at our own blog’s for more details on our projects!

So are you ready to play along?  Pull out your favorite Craftin’ Desert Divas Coffee, Tea or Cocoa themed products and play along!  You can use any Sponsor Coffee, Tea or Cocoa products, past or present, but if you use Coffee, Tea or Cocoa products from Super Sponsor Craftin Desert Divas you get an extra chance to win!  We’re hoping to light up this challenge linky with all kinds of CDD goodness!  And this month we have not just one but two prize packs up for grabs!  Amy and I are each offering up a prize pack that contains a few of our fave CDD products!  Don’t forget to be sure to tell us what Sponsor’s Coffee, Tea or Cocoa products you used and link back to this post here to qualify for a chance to win!  To see what you could win, just visit Amy’s Blog here and my blog here!

And thank you Tara, you Craftin Desert Diva, for a lot of years of fun and adorable!  We are gonna miss you!

And now, how about the winner from last month’s challenge?  Thank you so much to all who played along!  It was so much fun to see how everyone was inspired!  And huge thanks to Miss Ink Stamps for sponsoring the August Challenge!

The winner of the Java Joe’s stamp set from Miss Ink is:
