National Coffee Day with Jamie Pate!

 

"Pray, Coffee, Repeat", by Jamie Pate. 

How great is a National Coffee Day? Pretty sure that day was made just for me! Raise your hand if you love coffee as much as me. I knew it! I am not alone.

 

 

For me, there is nothing better than a comforting cup of coffee, a photo or two, and beautiful papers to create with. Created to create...with coffee in hand. Yep. That's the ideal morning for me. 

 Lucky for me, I have brand new Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith's Brave and Bright. Super fun and inspiring collection of goodies to play with.

I took a photo of my doing just what I described. That moniker, Pray. Coffee. Repeat. Yep. That would be me. I'm a praying girl. I'm a coffee girl. And I do both very often.

It is a fundamental belief of mine that creativity is really an important part of our lives. Telling little stories like how much we love coffee, and making that all pretty with pattern papers and tabbies and washi and stamps. It's very therapeutic. 

Today's post includes a process video. It's hyperlapse. But in actuality, this was one of those layouts that simply made itself. 

Choosing mostly the black and white pattern papers, I decided to pop the rest of the layout with pink. I love that contrast against the white background of the layout. Staying with a few colors allows for lots of layers and elements to be added. It was simply a joy to play with this collection and just have fun. It was for sure a creative exercise.

 So here's my challenge. If you're a coffee lover. If you are a paper nerd. And if you love taking time to get a little creative, well grab a cuppa, Bright and Brave, and scrap a fav photo today. Enjoy.
