Books and coffee

Today is the last day for the 2017 summer coffee lovers blog hop; what is more summery than a stack of books waiting to be read?

Inspired by this old Mojo Monday sketch (which apparently was one of Julee's original sketches!):

The image is from Blackberry Jelly's little workshop. Love the clean lines. I did some digital masking to shorten the book stack.

Christmas chickies

This card is for the last Mojo Monday. I only discovered Mojo Monday this year, and I haven't participated in many challenges, but I always appreciate the sketches because they helped me learn so many variations on balanced layouts. Thank you Julee! I look in the archived sketches often!

Those cute chickies are from Your Next Stamps' Christmas Chickies, and the sentiment is from Hero Arts' Layering Christmas Tree. Layout and colours inspired by:
