Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop

It's time for another fun 2017 Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!  If you love coffee, and I sure do, then you don't want to miss this hop and all of the awesome summer-time coffee inspiration.  For my card, I've used the Stampendous Pink Your Life Whisper Bath.  I think a coffee cup makes the perfect bathtub or pool for a fairy to cool off in during the summer heat! 

Here's what I used to create this card:
