Latte and Blogiversary winners!!!

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Thanks to everyone that stopped by and left such wonderful comments last week during Girlia and I Blogiversary!!  The winners are listed at the end of the post! 

I just got my Love You a Latte cartridge, which I finally won on ebay!!!!  So, I found a challenge that my new unused cartridge would fit.  I have challenged myself to use my many new unused cartridges.  I felt bad because I have too many just piling up on the shelf. So, if you have the same problem:)  Feel free to join me, leave me a comment and I will stop by your blog, check out your project and leave a comment!

I cut the latte @ 3", the backgrounds stamp is by PBD, which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I wanted to put a background paper behind the cup, but the stamp was to cute to have it be covered!   I used Trendy twine, I love this twine because it has 3 colors instead of the standard 2 colors. 

Challenge:
HIMCR:  heat emboss
PaperPlaytime: Anything Goes plus add a Sentiment

Here are the winners for the Blogiversary !!!  Contact me, you have a week to claim your prizes.
