I used to only drink black coffee and low fat hot chocolate before bedtime. I was suffering from acid reflux and was advised caffeine can cause it. I don't drink fizzy drinks other than mineral water so needed to look at drinking less coffee. I hadn't drunk tea since I was a little girl and although I have tried it a few times over the years I just didn't like though I wished I did as a change from coffee. However I gave it a go and after a few cups of black tea I found I really like it. A couple of people told me if you try something 7 times you will get to like it. I also tried some herbal teas as they are caffeine free and guess what I found some I love. I don't like fruit flavours but I love peppermint, buttermint and chamomile and now have chamomile before bed and it really helps me sleep better. So if you had told me a year ago I would mainly drink herbal tea and black tea and hardly ever drink coffee or hot chocolate I would never have believed you.
So onto my card which is all about coffee! I bought a 12 x 12 pack of Laserowe Love Coffee Time from Swedish House Crafts and this is the first card I made. I inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink and distressed them all. I added some cheesecloth, crimped kraft card and a wooden cup, saucer and spoon I had in my stash.

Loving all the textures on this one Marianne. I'm allergic to milk so only ever go black, but do restrict my espresso to mornings for same reason, hiatus hernia in my case and helps a lot.

This is really lovely Marianne. I am drinking Milk Oolong tea at the moment, as well a my beloved coffee!! xx
This is a lovely card Marianne. I'm a tea drinker although I do have the occasional black coffee. Even the smell of milk in coffee makes me feel really nauseous so I stick to black. Milk in tea doesn't have that effect but I do like black tea too. We're a funny crowd aren't we? Christine x

Super card, Marianne, I love all the texture. I'm a tea drinker, just ordinary tea, fairly strong with just a dash of milk. I've never particularly liked the taste of coffee, not even coffee cream chocolates. I leave those for my hubby! LOL! xx
