Catch the bug / New Release Tuesday - Given enough coffee

Tuesday December 23, 2014
 
Tuesday and it's New Release day at Catch the bug with Rule the World  
 I know you all are getting ready for Christmas / your holiday.. I hope you get a chance to look over at the Bugaboo store and pick up some awesome images for yourself or a fellow crafter for the holiday. 
 
This is the card I made using the new image. I love my coffee and this time of the year it's eggnog coffee blended latte but my go to the rest of the year is blended mocha latte. I love my chocolate mocha and molasses in my latte and I make it at home using some strong coffee ice cubes, then few more water ice cubes, 2% milk, scoop mocha powder and about tablespoon molasses. Blend it up and then I pour into my thermo mug to keep it icy cold.  I take it to work and it last me at least 4 hours.. That is my one and only coffee drink a day but remember I said strong coffee cubes.. it's probably equivalent to 4 cups coffee. 
 I like the blood shot eyes. He was fun to color and I used some die cut feathers tied with twine and stuck the button heart through the feather ends. I added white gel pen to the cut just to add to the look. Given enough coffee sometimes I feel the same way.
