share your spark fridays ...
Wow! I can't believe how FAST this week went by! This time last week I was posting from my hotel in Seattle and this week I'm playing in my crafty space with my Mom (who's visiting for the week)! Time is FLYING by! But you know what Friday means around here: another installment of Share Your Spark Fridays!
This week I experienced a first: my first EVER cup of coffee! I know, everyone I've told has been shocked! *laugh* But, alas, it's true. I've never been a coffee drinker. However, I wasn't about to leave Seattle without at least TRYING a cup. Which I did. At the first-ever Starbucks' in Pike Place Market (a caramel macchiato - and I liked it)! In honor of THAT momentus *wink* occassion I made the card for this week's spark. And used a cute little green brad on the cup as the "logo."
And that is this week's spark: use a brad (or brads) in a fun creative way!
The coffee cup is one of the brand-spanking-new images just released yesterday and the sentiment is from the Coffee Break set. (You can check out the new goodies here.)
Now it's YOUR turn! And don't forget to share your spark by leaving a link to your cool creations with brads in a comment on this post! Thanks to everyone who shared a spark last week! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week!
Notecard, image, sentiment, chocolate 4 bar kitchen notecard, french roast stitched grosgrain ribbon; A Muse. Ink; Staz-On Timber Brown. Brad; Queen & Co.

I finally figured out my photo album uploading issues and have addded an A Muse Shop album over on the left. It has a few photos of the shop and a few shots from VMAA*two.
And for anyone wanting to check out photos from the trip ... shots from the first day are up here. With more to come just as soon as Mom and I are doing less running around! *wink*

Speaking of Mom ... we're having a blast! We spend the first full day in my crafty space playing and today we did a little shopping and sightseeing in town. It's good to have her here!
I love the A Muse album, Heather! I hope to visit the shop in person...some day! I hope to find some time this weekend for your challenge. I'm off on an all day field trip with my son. No stampin' today!

Love all the pictures, Heather! I cannot wait to get back to Seattle to see the new store. I will try to get to this spark sometime this week. Oh, and I have never had coffee, not even when I was in Seattle last year - bad me!
