Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hi everyone it’s Lisa and today I have a very special post for you! This blog post is dedicated to all the incredible teachers out there! More specifically my favorite teacher of all…. my daughter Taylor!

Taylor is my coffee date for today and I am so proud of her. As you all know teaching is one of the many jobs that became infinitely more challenging when COVID hit. Taylor has been working way too many hours every week past her contracted time just to give her students everything they deserve….. sadly it leaves very little personal time. Despite Taylor’s lack of personal time she still agreed to be my Coffee Date for today.

Taylor is a planner girl at heart and she loves all things planner related! She agreed to do a planner layout for the week of Valentine’s Day and make it coffee themed. But of course real life got in the way and her layout as of tonight was only half done. As she sat writing an IEP for a meeting tomorrow she felt guilty about not finishing her planner layout for our coffee date.  I am going to share the gorgeous layout she started and as you can see she has a COFFEE CUP sticker on Friday the 18th to signify our “date”. Taylor is a big fan of the Erin Condren Life Planner and Krissyanne Design’s stickers and she uses them frequently in her layouts. Taylor’s Instagram account is @prettypaperpieces4u if you’d like to check out all of her other amazing layouts!

Here is a picture of her layout and I am in love with the color scheme and adorable stickers she used for the week of Valentine’s Day! Notice the AWESOME “Drink Wine Day” on the 18th!

In keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme I decided to make a love themed card that sums up my relationship with Taylor. We definitely go together like coffee and donuts! We craft together and support each other’s hobbies. She attended Creativation with me and I am attending Go Wild with her next month. Go Wild is a huge planner convention that takes place once a year for the die hard planner fans.

For my card today I used the adorable Yum Yum stamp set from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. That little hamster is just adorable and her little hands hold lots of little accessories. Today she is enjoying coffee and a donut!

I stamped that adorable hamster onto a panel cut from the Waffle Flower A2 Lacy Layers Die set and colored her up with my Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. Although it’s difficult to see in the picture I did use the Love Splash stencil from A Colorful Life Designs on the card base for some fun pink hearts!

Thank you for joining me today for our Coffee Date! I am honored that Taylor agreed to virtually meet me for coffee and I can’t wait to see her completed layout when she is done!

Have a great day! We already are!

Lisa and Taylor
